;)rugeley has some great roach fishing and everyone was expecting a few double figured weights 
but as usual the weather put pay to that yet again with the temperature never warming up all day 
basic rigs were set as i had drawn another bridge hole ::) ::)not one but two 
:oand this did look the part [if i can download the picture i will]i had gathered what info i could get and bearing mind this was the first B/J match for several year so it could of been really good or really badi set my traps feeding 175ml on one line this was my banker if the roach turned up ,but watching those anglers around me it was quite clear i might of under cooked it
but the old saying came to mind "you can always put more in but you can't take any out " ;)i had one more hole in front of me where i put 75ml and thought i'd start at 5 metres 
this line produced nothing so i moved over and after about one hour and a few phone calls the whole length was fishing rubbish with odd perch and in some sections odd chub 
i didn't want to go on my positive line too early but i needed to put something in my net .so over it i went straight down the hole 
a perch 2inches long then another and another where were all the roach 
after a few more phone calls i decided that the bread punch might be worth ago now i know what you are all thinking ::) ::) ::)if you can't get a bite on bloodworm or joker why do you think bread is going to make a difference 
i can't explain that but what happened for the last 3 hours feeding very little punch i landed 26 to 30 roach all netters to a pound i didn't stop trying B/j i simply couldn't catch on it apart from very small perch don't get me wrong the bread punch wasn't fast put each roach was worth the wait 
to wards the end of the match i did introduce some joker with the punch and in the last 15 minutes i put a pound of joker fish in the net by the end of the match i had managed 7lb2oz and it was good enough for a section win and a added bonus 3rd overall and with the lads all catching it was dayshavoo collecting our second victory in the series dazzala won the match with some lobby caught perch 11lb odd another brilliant result for him and rob parker 2nd with8lb odd
afterwards the discussion was all about if I'd of put my B/J in the same place as my bread punch i would of caught them just as well
:-/i'm not convinced as these were quality fish more like caster roach what do you thinkand yes i was on a good area ::) ::) ::)and yes i don't think anyone in my section had bread with them
just a few more fish and i'd of run 1st place close

, well done Dazzla and joffy 
I tried it early on in the match but never had a bite on it! Maybe should have kept topping it up and trying it every so often? Definitely worth considering for next time... 
as well as the far bank 'entertainment'
