Simple Match Fishing Forum

Ok Gents, Dave asked me to start a thread for our final match of the season as he is still spending the club funds with Cunard having a much needed recouperation cruising round the Med. But he assures me he will be back for this one (in time to carefully design the sections no doubt )

So will it still be warm, or time for your winter woolies by the 15th? And will the proper lumps from the Reservoir deeps be co-operating?
Only one way to find out - so who's up for it?

Seem to remember your shopping trip last year was rather successful Mr P
...and the year before that.....

I will be there

Looking at the forecast for tomorrow rather glad we lost our first go at the Res. this year, apart from that I'll be there

Yes please.

Kevin - hav'n't seen you for a while - how you doing mate?

Count me in please Tony

Rod is available but Chris will be away and cant fish this one.

Im slowly improving but still in a lot of pain especially in the morning. Im doubtful but if I can I will try and give it a go if only for an hour or two. I will need help with the gear but Im sure you guys will help me out. You never know it may be just the thing I need to sort me out.

Be great to see you Mr C, the help is given of course and the short walks at the Res include THAT peg!!

Unfortunately a lot of foliage on the first few pegs have been cut down so maybe not the flier any more.

Sounds like someone has been for a sneaky practice.

Sorry Tel that was me
Just clearing a path for the mixer to back in

Will be good to see Mr C if you can make it. Help with the gear no probs.
Hopefully a nice brekkies at the cafe will help me sustain my energy levels throughout the match this time!!!!!
Last chance for a nugget b4 my gear goes into storage

Not intentionally Keith, a week or so ago fancied a day at Monks 2 but when I got there all 4 lakes were booked (on a Friday) so went to Hartleylands, nice warm day with a few people there most seemed to be using rods and surface baits 25/30 yds out. Fished one of the earlier pegs on the left hand bank (old No. 4 I think) but it was a struggle - only two fish after an hour or so, moved swims to what used to be Peg 8 (couldn't go much further along due to other people) and had two fish in about 10 minutes, after that it was very patchy as they didn't seem to want to feed on anything although I did manage one of 14lb from the margins - the anglers on the other bank seemed to do better off the top but further out. Given that there won't be many of us it might be worth only fishing the right hand bank and part way back up the other side as those old earlier pegs never seem to fish as well and could be left out.

A likely story young Tel!.....as a matter of rules, do we allow bread on the surface in our matches at the Res???

As far as I know surface fishing has always been allowed in our matches where the Fishery rules don't ban it, I think the only relevant thing banned in matches at Hartleylands is the bagging waggler and the floating feeder.
