Simple Match Fishing Forum

Full results, a fair few action shots (plus the usual tales of woe about the ones that got away) to follow, plus Mr V's take on the day

And did someone sack up in the last 20 minutes

Well I wandered down our local canal - The Wyrley & Essington at Pelsall to see how the guys were getting on.........conditions not too bad, overcast, but after all the rain and flooding over the last week that had seen our intended river match called off and switched to our canal, how would it respond?

Straight away I clocked Abuman with a smile on his face...........

A few minutes later he was in again...........

No problems shipping back for the guys on our cut.............

After exchanging a few pleasantries with a few of the guys I spotted Bullah up nearer the pub with a bit of elastic out.............was he snagged up?

Nope.........cuss he reached for his landing net

All smiles when that one went in the net........

Next door was KOD

Was Bullah in again........?

A change of hook bait worked wonders for Dark Hoss

On the way back Cotti was doing a bit of show boating and tried to convince me he was on a lb bottom on the caster..........

After a load of showboating and faffing about, a tinca ended up in the net....

This was about the half way stage...........off I trotted to another engagement.

How would the match pan out?

I'd heard tales of lost fish. Heinzer had been seen off twice, Bullah once and Dazzla had lost a tinca at the net...........would those losses prove costly?

Time for the tale of the scales........oh and btw, I heard the winner did the damage in the last 20 minutes

Nice one Yamo

Well done Yamo A captains performance yet again. It's getting embarrassing now when my points haven't counted for the team for the last 2 matches Also well done Abuman and Bullah for framing. Thanks to Tricast for his dodgy weighing in skills, and Zorro for recording, and Dazzler for pegging out with me. Cheers lads
As for my match, not a lot to report other than its the first time EVER I have come out on top against the Tincas on our canal, hooked one, got one out . Well fished Heinzer on the next peg, who didn't swear, despite losing 2 early Tench, and eventually his persistence paid off with a beauty
Bullah had a double ended joy toy fall out of his tackle bag, and with quick thinking, dropped it in his landing net and told everyone he had hooked it fair and square OBI thought we were on Doggers when I text him about it Dazzler was up to his usual tricks Tinca 1 - Dazzler 0...say no more. Great to see TK having a wander, and looking fit and well Oh and by the way, I was caught red handed by TK with a few pellets on my tray Guilty as charged your honour, and I will be a good boy in future . Great banter again lads, Thanks

Congratulations to Yamo on his win .

Good to see TK out on the bank and look forward to his return to angling with us .

Yamo has tracked down a pic from the archives which proves what Bullah caught on the canal was not a one off .
