Simple Match Fishing Forum

I know the angler but where is he fishing. All I know is its a canal.



Thanks

is it the three crowns M/K grand union
and he's carping
mark pollard what a class act he's winning on commercials as well as natural venues
on the fens only last weekend won with 18lb of squatt fish he said he never needed to put G/B in just loose fed squatts ok you might say he was in the epicenter but he was still 6lb of fish in front of second thats a lot of squatt fish

plus read his big interview in match fishing mag
he holds nothing back top bloke 

Yeah he was catching some double figure fish, Very interesting indeed. Just wondered where it was.
Cheers, Joff

Yeah I fished Slapton a few times in WLs years ago. There used to be quite a lot of skimmers there; when you hooked them you had to manoevre them betweem the carp to get them out

Did you hook any carp Bill

Simps,

Dan Ashington done a feature on that stretch in match fishing mag within the last two years. Grove church lock is number 29 and slapton lock is number 30.

I remember that feature in a mid 90's mag called match angling plus good mag at the time and that pole was a garbolino power maxim heavy but there wernt a carp swimming that it wouldn't fetch out hmmm miss mine!

All good info. Will try to find out more. Cheers
Thanks for all the help everyone

Smart wobbly cheeks

Who the hell made that swear filter for a rse

Peg was/is called the Animal house. Not sure if the tree is still in the peg as it may have been removed.

spot on Chris - I even drew it once .... many years ago in the late 80s ....
had about 8 pound of skimmers, but lost 3 nil to the carp!!!

I even remember when it used to be solid with Roach, great big hemp fish on every peg (or so it seemed).
