Simple Match Fishing Forum

I was on Boldings Beech pool today it fished shocking, 26lb odd won the match on the point peg 7 I think JD drew it and fished well. We all expected the match to fish better as there was only a few of today but we struggled!

I drew peg 11 and after looking for the peg (no numbers on the slabs). The peg looked average with no features, not much cover in margin but I had an open mind. I started on the 5meter line and had a few silvers on the maggot and a couple of better ones on the corn, but no carp which was worrying. I had a look shallow and had some more silvers before getting my first carp (about 6oz). nothing was worrking and nobody was catching so it wasn't just me that was struggling. After a while I had a look on the red meat and had a carp about 5lb first chuck, and one about 2lb next cast, I've got it I thought but after that i foul hooked one and that seemed to kill it.

I had a look on the 10 meter line and had an f1 and some more roach, JD and Terry had started to have fish regulary now. I went back on th e5 meter line and changed tactics completley, which resulted in another f1 and some small carp, with 10 minutes left I foul hooked another and then had a look down the inside to nothing. All in all it was a bad day due to the rain over night as I think that knocked them of the feed.

1st) JD 26lb odd
2nd) Keith Woodbridge 15lb 00
3rd) Terry Morris 14lb 7oz
4th) JJ Gallagher 14lb 00

Nothing today hope the Jam Factory fishes better Sunday

A lot of venues are fishing pants at the min JJ

The fish have other things on their minds at the min plus the weather is very up and down

Bloody hell  
I'm glad your PC crashed last night  
I thought you was at the Jam Factory and was gonna pop up and see you, good job  I didn't.

Good report again matey.  

Thanks I think the match would have been better if it was pegged different. John Benness lost his top 4 when a fish took his pole, he got it back at the other end of the pool and landed the fish 6-8lb most people would have lost the lot but the fish swam into the margin and it was easy from there.

No wonder Goodyear is going down the pan....
