thought i would have a change and caught everything on casters.

.3 nice perch down the track caster over the top of my punch line plus lost one hook came out

.the rest were rudd across in 18inches of water with a rig with15 shot on

most on drop but they didnt want loose feed they wanted it potted every 10 fish strange as most came up in the water :-/either side had nice nets of roach 4lb and5lbplus yet i couldnt catch a roach all day

that was with at least 6 bread swims in the end as the rudd dryed up yet either side kept a few going all match . we drew sock on as the rest of the canal was very hard with a few blanks its the best run of draws ive had in my life at the minute never had it so good, feel sorry for the rest as but were all been their.cant wait for the final match on the river sunday as were still in with a chance wot a river fishing great cant believe joff you choose the trent and mersy over your local river you a have missed another great series again

#5

nothing wrong with the trent and mersey league hammo again its run well and it pays the winning team on the day

i have missed the river and yes its fished well as i've been bagging in the week off a few areas
but a match is a match and its good to try different venues as one or two trentmen will tell you seeing as you have become a draw bag

good luck at the weekend
i had a nightmare of a day myself

hammo · #6

cant wait to hear

hammo · #7

by the way joff robbo drew opposite a boat and the chimmney was smoking all day

#8

cant wait to hear

you really don't mate
is this a inter-wigston-club pairs as there dosen't seam to be any outsiders in the frame

hammo · #9

it just shows the class of wigston club anglers perhaps thats why you have left the leagues we fish in

#10

it just shows the class of wigston club anglers perhaps thats why you have left the leagues we fish in

you'd better get your names down for the summer league then and then you might get in the new look winter league

i take it you need a membership card like the wreake to fish your matches

hammo · #11

i dont fish in the summer maybe the others will.will your team be good enough for the river after a year out on comies

#12

the dates are booked teams of six in between the winter league
3 anglers on the river at Sutton and three on the canal
so no exquises these will start end of september

adam or wayne.
how did my partner do? Paul Greenhill.

cant believe I am stuck in germany. I went to see a mate pleasure fishing on the way to the airport and he had caught two skimmers by 9am from below the lock on new bridge road.
I reckon I would have bagged up if my lucky drawing arm had of pulled out a basin peg

hammo · #14

i think he blanked dan but so did a few were he was pegged

phy8dop · #15

looks like that will be our round to drop

.......unless we manage to do worse than 2 blanks

#16

A new look winter league ? Tell us more Joffy Boy as this will be interesting !!!
