Its been some time since ive fished this cracking Canal, and saw this great result

The opening round of this 5 match series returned excellent weights from the straight and the famous Hempstead bend with large bream, skimmers,eels and roach feeding freely to all methods.Sensas Thyers angler Roy Carter showed his expirence and in depth knowledge of the venue in a very tight frame . His 20lb-14oz of bream and large hybrids took spot ahead of Phil Stone Diawa Gordon League with 19lb-00oz for second and Steve Long Diawa Gordon League 18lb-1oz for third. An excellent 11lb-00oz of large roach and skimmers from the straight took 4th place for Shane Williams Stoutshill A.C , with other section backing weights made up of roach and large eels to pole methods.

1.Roy Carter Sensas Thyers .20lb 140z
2.Phil Stone Diawa gordon League. 19lb
3.Steve long Diawa gordon League.18lb-1oz
4.Shane Williams Stoutshill AC. 11LB

Yes, the Gloucester Canal!

remember going there years back and I drew this very wide peg with abig tree/bush semi submerged in the cut on the far bank. There were chub crashing out all over the place by this bush.

What do you do? I set up three feeder rigs and was waitingfor the all in and these chub were stil rolling and crashing out. One or two came down to have a look at them in amazement.

It was only after one of them commented that the penny dropped with me. It was a pole qualifier, - I blanked.
