Havent fished this section before Joffie - but have fished the adjoining sections either side.........

Had some brilliant days on there, also the odd

grueller.

Once weighed in 29lb12oz of redfins for 2nd place........was a bit narked, they were like peas in the pod, one more I'd have broke the 30lb mark of all roach

Also chub barbel and bream. In fact in the knock up above, one guy bust the scales when on his first weigh he tipped too many fish in the weigh net, the scales went zap round past the 75lb mark and bust

Blues4eva mentioned it to me on the match on Sat - he fished this particular section last year and had some bostin chub

But it all depends on the conditions Joffie - if low and clear it will be a

- needs a touch of colour in it..............bet we wont see any rain for a fortnight now

There's a few essox lucius about too.........shouldnt be too much of a problem for us, we're used to em in our cut

#4

Just to wet the appetite of the 'speci hunters' in our club - like KOD

, if I get 5 mins tonight I'll post a picture of a match winning barbel off the same section ........

How many years ago was that?
Excited as its the first match hoe we get some colour in the water, cant take any more gruellers.

#10

Probably a decade ago........bet its been a few years since we fished that 6 a side match on the next section up too

Hope them chub Blues4eva had last season show........well I'll settle for redfins

When we last fished the 'town/castle' section I was next peg to HaHa in some shallow fast water.......struggling a bit, picking off odd dace and roach............then I hit a barbel that tried to bore its way into the bank opposite

A guy came along, asked if could drop in the peg upstream that hadnt come out of the bag.........or we hadnt pegged it........and then proceded to catch a 12lb plus carp.......black as the ace of spades it was.

I wasnt weighing in, so just for a bit of banter and wind up he stuck it in my net........there were a couple of amazed faces when I pulled my net out to weight in at the end of the match
