Kennet and Avon Canal - Semi's Practice match

  • E1
  • 21lb 3oz
  • Won section
  • 3rd overall
  • 90 people fished

After several disappointing matches on the Gloucester canal, I decided not to fish the Sensas Challenge and work on the Saturday and fish at Marlborough on the Sunday.  Which I was looking forward to, as even if you draw a poorer area than your almost 100% guaranteed of plenty of bites.
Today’s match saw 91 people fishing, and Nigel Franks spread us out, so we had plenty of room and of course end pegs were by far favoured to drew.  My drawing arm has been very poor at the moment and I haven’t had the best of season’s this year.  So I got Gary Barclay to draw my peg, and believe me I was over the moon when he draw me E1, which was end peg at Station.  This is a good area for skimmers, roach and sometimes odd big billies (perch).
Bait List
126 lobs (picked 76 Saturday night)
½ kilo of Russian joker
25 grams of bloodworm
2 pints of white squatt
¼ pinkie
¼ red maggot
½ caster
1 kilo of Sensas Noire
Gear
Sensas 21, 0.2 x4 and 0.3 0.112 - 0.064 22, 24, 26 IM1
Colmic Lux 4x16 0.112-0.075 22 IM1
Jon walker 0.4 and 0.3- 0.136 – 0.112 14 N600 and 18 N600
Match
I started at 5 meters after cupping in my other lines, and it was solid with stamp roach and small skimmers (2oz-4oz).  I was amazed, and within the 20 minutes I had 2lb, only 11 fish.  I went of the lob worm and was amazed that it never moved, so either perch/skimmers haven’t arrived yet or the roach have eaten all the worms!  So after an hour, in reflection I must of had 5lb.  Went on the lob worm lines again and still nothing, so cut up 20 lobs and dumped it in, and went straight on it, and caught a bream 2lb and a perch about a 1lb.  This was looking good, and topped up the lob worm line regularly and caught small skimmers, but the 5 meter was good, and I felt that maybe I could be wasting time looking for big fish.  So a little undecided, so tried to do both. 
At the end, I was unsure what I had, so guessed that 3 perch and skimmer would go 6lb and 6lb of bits.  Err very wrong and admitting to several  anglers, including Will Raison that I had double figures and I would like to think got 12lb, I weighed 21lb 3oz, which I was amazed! Also I little embarrsed about, Alan Brown, Mick Denton and Kevin Rolwes did take the pi$$ out of me.   However, there was 39lb from Beeches end peg (Lee Edwards, very impressive) and Gary O’Shea had 22lb end peg at churches, so I had to settle for third.  The venue fished very well in places, and Nigel worked out that the average weight was 5lb per angler of 91 pegs.  Now that’s impressive!
Oh, thanks Gary once again for drawing me a flyer!

Gloucester Canal - Open

  • Peg 192
  • 2lb 4oz (15 roach and 2 skimmers)
  • Last


    Really stuggled, back to the drawing board......
    DAIWA GORDON LEAGUE OPEN - SIMMS BRIDGE TO PILOT BRIDGE
    54 PEGS
    Fished on the unfashionable Simms to Pilot length everyone was talking about the Pilot Tanker Bay as the the place to be, the Gloucester Canal however once again had different ideas - put simply no one can predict where the winner will come from on this venue.  Whilst the skimmers dissappeared roach dominated in another tight frame. Steve Ford, Daiwa Gordon League, swapped carp for quality roach to win this one from permanent peg 188 on the straight above Rea bridge, where he fished feeder for 11lbs 3 oz, a net containing 4 roach over a pound. Second was Alan Jones (Daiwa Gordon League) on peg 278 next to Pilot bridge where he caught 10lbs 11oz of roach on short and long pole, maggot over groundbait. Tony Price was third with a level feeder caught 10lbs from in the middle of the Simms Rea length.
    1st S Ford, Daiwa Gordon League, Gloucester, 11- 3 - 0
    2nd A Jones, Daiwa Gordon League, Gloucester  10 - 11 - 0

  • Last

  • 26 people fished



    • Got battered again

    Due to a rowing Regatta on the rest of the canal this latest Sunday open was run between Hempsted Bridge and the Docks. Although pegs in Monk Meadow dock did not produce as expected, weights were again good throughout the remainder of the length.  Winner on the day from a pegs on the Hempsted upstream length was Ian Sheppard (Daiwa Gordon League) who landed skimmers up to a pound and a half on pole and maggot to weigh 18lbs 3oz.  On the next peg experienced Gloucester Canal angler Brian Pollard was second with 13lbs 13oz, again on the pole but fishing punch bread, and including some quality roach in his net.
    1st I Sheppard, Daiwa Gordon League, Warwickshire, 18 - 3 - 0
    2nd B Pollard, Daiwa Gordon League, Gloucester  13 - 13 - 0
