Simple Match Fishing Forum

First day back with Goodyears for me today. Good to see all the lads and have the yellow stream took out of me for been a part time member  
Also good to see JJ's 58 carrot Diamond Earring that he has bought from his winnings    

I never even set my pole up  . I set up a maggot feeder and Pellet Waggler that I intended to fish the Maggot on.
Armed with 3 pints of Ians finest reds, that was it oh expect some corn.

I was also trying out the strawberry GOT baits atomic cloud as I had seen in an article. Fill the feeder with maggots and then cap it off with some atomic cloud.
Boy oh boy it does make a cloud as well, it also make you look very sunburnt with you get it on your hands and the wipe your face with wet hands  :(  

What normally happens here is the more you plonk the feeder in the more shallow the fish come attracted to the splash, so my intention was the fish the feeder for an hour and the plonk the pellet waggler on top of it. And thats what I did and it worked very well.

While everyone else was fishing for carp I was targeting the silvers with maggots. I did have one bonus carp of 5lb 3oz on the pellet waggler but the highlight of my day was catching these on the pellet waggler about 2 and a half foot deep on double red.....





I had 4 knocking on 2lb I thought and Maybe Roach Rudd Hybrids  

Also used my new Carbon Active 11ft mini rod and TDR reel today. Handled the carp easy and handled the smaller fish no problems at all.
Both are a nice piece of kit indeed

Nice to see everyone again  

wish I took the pellet wag as a few topped near me at distance I had 2 carp on the pole on corn at 10meters and 1 on the tip with 6mm banded pellet and a few small roach on the pole it fished hard today well done simps but you were on a flyer

well done simps but you were on a flyer

Aren't I always

Well done Simps - see you are carrying that winter form right though

Just think though - if you hadnt have fannyed about you could have walked it with the silvers

I was catching Silvers on the maggot feeder TK. Just smaller and less regular. Thats why I was using the maggot feeder, you know what them roach are like
I think I needed to put the feeder in to attract the fish to my area. Thats my theory anyway

Only joking

Yow did gud

Nice silvers too

How did it go today JJ ??

it fished well
76lb won tommo
2nd wako 74lb
3rd gus 34lb
4th malcolm 33lb
5th me 32lb
I drew peg 3 and had the wind in my face and caught on the feeder to the island thing
Quarry didn't fish well nor did solhampton

What pegs were they on mate. Cheers for the info.

Typical.... it only fished well because I was to poorly to come 

Wonder who will do the first ton from there

tommo was on peg 14 and wako 16 i'd say tommo when the carp start to come on the 3 section to hand line or in the winter when the silvers don't waste to much time if you just find a shoal

Cheers JJ, I will be at the next one hopefully

the next match there is the 24th you not coming to boldings or brookfield then

my name is woko not wako ( j j )

You are a wako though

No mate tommo won it 60lb peg 17 I think 2nd gus or JD one of them had 43lb the other 44lb I think I had 27lb of silvers
