Barston Lakes

UK Champs

Peg 42
24lb
3rd Section
Got caught out

4 rods..... positive

1 1/4 hour later the pole was kitted up, but I ruined my peg in the first 2 minutes!!

Barston fished immensely hard, never caught anything at 60 yards which I fished for the first hour. The guys either side caught on the pole, especially the guy on peg 44 (weighed 50lb, fair play) and the other side weighed 28lb. So my 7 fish for 24lb was very disappointing, and to make matter worse I bumped two bream on the pole and lost a carp, so I had was chance to qualify, as either side did!!!!!!

Having a bad time with this fishing lark

Spring league Round 3

6lb 3oz
2nd in section
2 bream for 5lb
36 little fish

Lost a tench and a foul hooked bream in the tail, which was lost at the net to make matters worse. A bad day, until I realised that our team had won with 48 points! So we are 4th overall at the moment with 12 points and two other teams with 11 points and GBMV winning winning an impressive 7 points! All to play for next week!

Jonny Atkins looking good

Tunnel Barn Farm- FISH O

Canal 4
118lb
Lake Win
2nd Overall

Was pleased with my draw at Tunnel Barn Farm, however didn't catch enough to get into the final. Great days fishing, caught lots of small carp and Barbel.

Pulla bungs are awesome, note the amount of elastic out the bottom

The slope is very sharp on the far bank, so ensure you feed past your float.

I am a little disappointed as I was second, but I was a way off first place as he had 145lb. I had a great days fishing, I did have a funny thirty minutes, lost two good fish in a snag to my left and lost a few foul hookers.

Fish O maina

Fish O mania is without doubt is one of the most prestige matches to win, especially with a whopping £30,000 winner takes all final! I have been in the final once before, which was many moons ago back in 2001, which I came second from last. Last year (2010) was the first time I got some tickets (two) in nine years and I was 4^th at Larford, and lost more than enough fish to win.

Tunnel Barn Farm.

This is a venue where I do struggle with as I am very aggressive angler, I don’t mean that I need anger management classes as I am very calm, I tend to feed heavy and fish to win, so aggressive in fishing means positive. The issue with been too positive you can blow your chances, as feeding too much bait can be fatal, and a venue like this is where people feed very little especially in winter. Tunnel has several lakes, and without doubt is full of fish, especially F1’s, there are lot of other fish like: roach, rudd, golden rudd, bream, mirror carp, common carp, Barbel, chub, gold fish, perch, tench, so when the float goes under you don’t know what it is going to be. A lot the lakes, are snake lakes, or have islands so there is features on most pegs.

Information, on the phone

I haven’t fished tunnel for over a year, but I know that Bread was winning a lot of the matches, but this is something I have never done, so I wasn’t going to try now. I had been on the phone to Kevin Fowell (aka Dad) to give me some advice, but he is a caster man and is very good at it, something that I need to learn off him. So there were two methods that I wasn’t going to do, as you always want to fish to your strengths...... He told me that paste had been winning, this is a method that I love, but when I fish it, it normally involves me feeding 6 pints pellet, sometimes more! Now if I feed this style at Tunnel, I would catch nothing. Paste fishing here is a much more negative approach and normally involved feeding less than half pint of pellet, and letting the paste (your hook bait) feed the swim. This sounded good to me, but worms and casters was always going to be safe bet.

The match

A drew peg 4 on canal, which was reasonably area so Pete Caton told me, and suggested that I fished long and worm all day and not to feed too much. Feed it via fruit juice bottle top, or you could use the smallest Fox toss pot for dripping the smallest amount of bait. I was told that I would catch a mixture of F1’s and carp, and they would be up to 3lb.

So I decided to set up a mountain of gear to use that I cover all options. I set up 6 rigs for long, 2 with 0.112 vespro line and 4 with 0.136. All these rigs with straight through to yellow 2.1 bi core with a pulla kit. The figs were a little heavier than normally as the wind was so strong and you don’t want the rig ripping through, as these fish won’t eat your hook bait, so had 0.1 gram at 10 iches deep, then the others were 0.2, 0.3, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.4. Also set up paste rigs for down the edges, where I will feed pellet to my left and meat to my right. The far bank had no cover at all and the nearside was reasonable thick with reeds that looked attractive.

Worms, ensure that you wash your worms really well, I like to wash all the soil out and cut them right up so that they are almost like liquid. I would add a few gains of corn and half pint of caster to a kilo of worm, this will help bulk it out. If you were fishing for carp then I wouldn’t cut the worms too fine, and also would add micro pellet to it, as well as caster. Carp will eat a lot of bait at times, whereas F1’s seem to be less greedy.

I was pleased to come second, but to get back in the final would have been awesome! I only have one more chance at Lindholme, which is long way from home.... so hopefully the journey will be worth it. Nice to fish against the BIG names in fishing, still have a lot too learn.

Solhampton Day 5

Peg 22 on Duck
61lb 10oz
13lb of silvers (skimmers, rudd and a few roach)
7 large carp, with 3 small stockies

Pegs I wanted was peg 6, then peg 7, then 5, then 9 and then 21...... Well I got peg 22, which I was gutted about, as I knew that I needed a section win, after a real poor performance yesterday and having drawed this peg, I didn't stand a realistic chance

This man is hard to beat, especailly when he is on Peg 5!

A real hard day, caught 3 carp in the last tewnty minutes to boost my weight.

The lake is a circle, so peg 2 and 22 were next to each other.

I was joint 5th overall with 15 points, but I felt that I couldn't have done much more from the last two days! Duck and Buzzard were poor draws, and me getting 7 points in two days isn't good!! But saying that if I had 6lb more on Buzzard, I would of been second and 2 more points, which would of given me a frame place.... so to be honest I had my chance, but blew it.

Well done to Steve for winning it, again.

Thanks Burgress for running it and I will be back next year!!!!

see me playing a fish
