Simple Match Fishing Forum

Daiwa Gordon League won the Thames Champs today, Andy Pollard who fishes for them won the match. He had a 14lbs 15oz Barbel landed on a Daiwa Airity pole- is that the biggest barbel ever landed in a match or on a pole? He had a 3lbs 10oz perch to go with it too! Big fish getting fat on cray fish!

looking at the weekends results on the Anglers Mail website the natural venues have thrown up some amazing catches and weights all over the country !
The King of the Fens on the North Level threw up some incredible weights of bream and the River Tyne threw up big weights of dace ...... awesome stuff !

Dave harrel broke the seven record as well dodge with i think 213lb of bream could of been more

it knocked the roach fishing on the soar just that bit of fresh pushed the roach off down stream i drew next to the roach master tony mashell i thought here we go another lesson on how you should fish both neck and neck but not with roach it was mostly perch he still managed to beat me by 200g but all the weights came from a area that is normally not so good its not often you beat tony on roach but i managed 3 to his 1
weights were good
with 2 weights over 4kg four over 3kg and about 8 over 2.5kg

Well done Daiwa Gordon League
When I got back I thought we might be in with a chance ! I was 2nd at Rushy, Tony skinner won his, Nigel Davis 2nd, Paul Bick 5th but poor old Leigh Gardener and Tony Bench struggled on poor draws, ah well 3rd better than nothing, look forward to fishing there again. 7lb 15oz, mixed small fish bag (roach,perch,gudgeon,chublets and even smaller chublets,dace,bleak and minnows !!!) Busy all day !! loved it !!
Well done again DGL with an excellent score card and well done to an old friend in Andy Pollard, a cracking angler
