Manor Farm Leisure - Boundary Pool

Peg 19
75lb 9oz (almost had 40lb of skimmers)
1 st place

Very pleased to draw peg 19, as this is a good area on Boundary Pool at the moment.  Chucked the bomb and yellow meat for 15 minutes which resulted in one tiny F1.  Then went of the pole at 13 meters and caught steady for the rest of the match.

The pole line was solid all match.  Caught well on it all match.  Wish I started on it as I would of broke the 80lb barrier.

Ghost carp fought well on my light gear........

Angling Trust Winter League - Round 3

Avington, on Kennet and Avon Canal.



• A3
• 3lb 9oz
• 3rd in section
• Won section by DOUBLE default (lucky)

Kennet and Avon canal is a venue that I really enjoy fishing and have done for many years,  so I was excited about fishing match.  However, after a sudden frost, very bright and no boat traffic (as they are doing work at Foxfield) the canal is going to fish hard today.  Last weeks match was won with 5lb, which is a poor weight for Avington, as I think it's one of the best parts of the canal (there are many) but it is very scenic and is full of fish,  not a lot more you can ask for really.

My plan of attack was to start on bread, then fish worms after thirty minutes to look for a early bonus and then on bloodworm to back up my bonus fish!?  However, this didn't really go to plan,   I had a 6oz roach first chuck followed by 4oz roacb, looked good, but that was my lot!!!  After that I only caught tiny fish no matter what I done, no bites on the chop worm which was very disappointing, but the team won this round and we have a one point lead over Sensas A4 which was a high light of the day  Next round is again on Avington next week, hopefully it will fish a little better (all depending on the weather).

 

No perch this weekend, caught some tiny roach, 40 to the pound.  Plenty of bites but not enough to do any damage against the A1 and A2.

 

Well done to Colin Wainwright for winning the match with 7lb 3oz

Manor Farm Leisure - Windmill

• Peg 15
• 100lb 2oz
• 1st place
• 8 fished

An enjoyable day on Windmill Pool, plenty of bites until the last hour where it went a little tits up, where I fed too much. Very close bewteen me and Aidan Mansfield. 

Fished 19 meters most of the match.

Windmill is full of fish and I was catching too many of these and therefore "uped" the feed, which almost cost me the match, as I wanted to encourage the better fish to feed.  This had the opposite effect

Manor Farm Leisure - Boundary

• Peg 12
• 42lb 4oz
• 2nd
• 14 people fished

Was pleased to draw peg 12 on Boundary Pool, as this is normally a good area and birthday boy Andy Burns was also pleased to draw peg 36 (who won his section).  Manor farm Leisure has been fishing well the last couple of weeks, and there has been some big carp coming out on single hooks baits, such as bread, meat and corn on all the pools.  Today's fishing match was won by Dennis Carter with 56lb, who had some nice carp on the bomb and bread.

One of Dennis big ghost carp.

Caught skimmers and f1's on the pole.  Great days fishing.

Kennet and Avon Canal

• F1
• 4lb 8oz (2 perch and around 50 tiny roach)
• Section win and 4th overall
• 56 fished

After a lot of heavy rain I did expect the Kennet and Avon canal to fish so hard and thought that 4lb would be a good section weight, especially for this section. I hit my target of 4lb, so was pleased to win my section, however I never expected to frame with this low weight.

 

Weights were tight and therefore everybody keen to see what everybody else had.

A couple of big perch on lob worms.

 

Richard Chave showing his class again.

• 10 fished

Strange day at Manor Farm Leisure, caught some lumps on yellow meat. However, in reflection I fished a way too negative match and for once I felt I didn't feed enough bait and this has cost me a frame place (2nd).

Well done to Shaun Little for winning with a whopping 140lb!!!
