Fished on the Coventry Canal at Nuneaton
94 anglers

With just a single point separating three of the countries top teams it was all to play for on a frozen Coventry canal and it will be the powerful Shakepeare Superteam side led by Mick Hatchard that will be making the journey south to the Kennet and Avon canal Semi final.

Consistency was definitely the winner on a day when half the side came back with top 3 in section with 6th their worse result to total 37 pts.

Making the long (bit of an understatement) trip to Kent from Manchester will be Drennan NW who secured the 2nd semi spot with 44 pts.

Individual honours on the day went to local lad Rob Mallabone who used the unconventional canal tactics of a chopped worm feeder cast the the Marina opening to snare 3 skimmers and a perch totalling 6-3-6.

They are not big ones for there!

Keith Brown weighed two in last year for 4lb 6oz.

10th overall is a good result mate, some big names below you.

Is b&j hard to get the hang off or is it a myth.

Its the most simple and staightforward method of fishing there is drynet.try it mate you can bag up on your local cut wiv about 6 quids worth of bait and catch fish you wouldnt think was there

Drynet.

Get half a kilo of joker and go on peg 136 near coseley tunnel...you'll be suprised at the size of the fish you catch and how easy it is to fish with.

cheers lads will try it out soon do they sell it at bilston.

Give RATBAG a call he will sort you out drynet....no probs

cheers

If you get time tomorrow Drynet come and have a walk up Dixon street, if will give you an idea of what to do with it.
