Oxford Winter League - Round 4

• F5
• 8lb 1oz (170 roach - 1 10oz perch)
• 3rd section (won by default)
• Team was 2nd (Lost by a point)

Once I got my "head down" I caught over 60 fish in a hour short lining.  My counter (Sam Nobbs) lost count, so I'm not 100%.  Fishing 6 sections and not breaking the pole down is very effective.  I am a little out of practice, as I have focused a lot of attention on carping, so took a battering from Martin Phipps and Darren Wright, who both had 10lb.  The problem was that I spent too much time trying to catch these Avington perch, and only had one 10oz perch.  The problem is that I made an commitment to try and catch these perch, then you find that if you don't, which I didn't, you will and do fall behind in the fish race.   

 

I should of fished for little fish.  Bad mistake, which cost my team mates (sorry)

Manor Farm Leisure - Middle Pool

• Peg 2
• 68lb
• 13 people fished

Middle Pool is incredible, as we have had some very cold snaps in the week and yet Neil McKinnon manages to catch 142lb 4oz in the middle of November.  Middle Pool is very good in the middle, don't ask me why but the year tend to sit in the middle of the lake.  Pegs 25,26,27,5,6,7,8. 

I drew Peg 2, which seems to be a good area for F1's normally with odd carp at the moment.  So decided to fish out and out pole attack for these F1 carp.   I felt that the lake was a little clear to catch down the edge, so feed in 3 foot in water, didn't catch down the edge.   No one caught down the edge.

The start of the match was good, caught small stamp of F1's 10oz to 1lb. I reckon I had about 40 F1's and 2 carp, so I had plenty of bites for an enjoyable day.

Dunmill is a stunning part of the Kennet and Avon Canal

As you are likely to be aware that I do love fishing canals.  I have been lucky enough to fish the Kennet and Avon canal for a long time.  In recent years Avington has become one of my favourite parts of the K&A. There is some great feature pegs, White Bridge been one of them (never drawn it in almost 10 years of fishing this part of the canal). It is an end peg, as all end pegs are good, but this is an awesome peg as there is a river Kennet comes into the canal which seems to hold these big perch by the bridge and there is skimmers in open water. 

Other great areas at Avington is below the sub station has some nice pegs, British Waters have unfortunately cut down some of the trees which did hold some big perch.  Above the sub station, in the woods,  has some feature pegs, but this tends to be a tougher area.  Above the lock holds some great feature pegs and this is the section to be (wasn't pegged for Ron Benjamin, but will be for our Angling Trust Winter League).

It saw 57 anglers fish Ron Benjamin memorial.  This is was an open prior to our Oxford Winter League, but we can't see Bloodworm and Joker were banned.  Therefore I took plenty of Lob Worms and bread.  I also had some squatts, pinkies, casters and some dens.

Manor Farm Leisure - Boundary and Middle Pools

• Peg 39 Boundary
• 61lb 2oz
• Section win
• Lake win

Peg 39 on Boundary Pool is a good area. An end peg too, so added bonus, but with only 12 angler's on 42 peg lake, we all had plenty of room!

I drew next to Neil Richards, so a one pound side bet was on!

Caught well on the pole to start with and then had a few F1's on the Waggler.  To be honest I wish I stayed on the pole as I feel I would if caught more, but I don't think I was capable of catching enough fish to win, as I needed another 30lb. 

"Big Franks" 44lb wasn't quite enough for his section.

Just beat Neil Richards.....

• Peg 27 Middle
• 86lb 8oz
• 1st place
• 20 fished

Caught mainly small F1's..... this one was one of the bigger ones!!

I was lucky with the draw bag today. The lake fished a lot harder than expected due to the cold wind. Hardly any fish topped, only saw 2 all day, compared to yesterday's free for all!!
Caught steady through the match, caught small stamp of F1's that were stocked a couple of years ago and 7 carp (had a couple 8lber's)

I thought Andy Grimes had beat me off the next peg, as he caught mainly carp, however I was lucky and just pipped him.  Congratulations on your baby girl Andy!

Manor Farm leisure - Middle Pool

• Peg 8
• 61lb
• 2nd in section
• 5th overall
• got battered by the wind

A frustrating match, as there were fish in front of me, but couldn't get the presentation correct. Even loose feeding 8mm's in gale force winds in my face wasn't going far enough out.
Lost one fish down the edge, this was the only fish that I lost, but that this was still enough to cost me the section and a frame place.
