Gloucester Canal- Spring League. Round 2

Round 2 of spring league on Gloucester Canal 

Peg 377

Knew it was going to be tough.... 2 weeks ago unfortunately this peg blanked.  Today I caught 16 fish for 3lb 4oz (12 Perch, 1 Roach, 1 Eel and 2 Ruffe).  Did alright for my area.... but its another "last" by my standards.

Harescombe Fishery - Match Lake

 Round 2 of Fishing Association.

Matthew Vater took me to Harescombe Fishery on the Match Lake.  He draw peg 8 and I drew peg 16 (mine the better peg).  I had a slow couple of hours and Mat was infront of me, he had 5 F1's (one 5lber)  to my 3 F1's in the first hour.   Lucky enough I caught some F1's in the last 2 hours down the edge on 6mm meat.

I weighed 52lb to win the match.  Mat weighed 39lb I believe.

Wish me luck for round 3 next month.

1st Myself 52lb

2nd Vince Grillo 45lb

3rd Matthew Vater 39lb

Rolfs Silver League

 Round 1

Unfortunately I had a clash of matches and therefore had to miss the first round of the silver league.  Derek Newson kindly stood in for me.  He drew peg 9 and sadly caught loads of big Carp.  Derek had 4lb 14oz and he come last in his section, same as me on the Gloucester Canal, a "last".

Round 2

I haven't been to Rolfs Lake for about 3 years, so was really looking forward to it.

John Bennett drew me peg 32, which is a brilliant silvers peg.  So plan of attack was to start short on maggots for roach and leave the 11 metre line alone to settle for skimmers, I put in 5 big balls of Hinders C Food Expander mix on the long line. 

The lake fish incredibly hard for silvers, the lake was alive with Carp.  I weighed 5lb to come second in my section.

Gloucester Canal Spring League RD1

Peg 24

11oz no good

140 anglers fishing 

The first round if the spring league on the Gloucester Canal, nice to see 140 anglers fishing, not many matches with that amount of anglers fishing.

I had a bit of a nightmare first fish I hooked was a Bream on the pole which I lost, which would of gave a least five more points, but I lost it, so end of.  Also I caught a Zander, which don't count in matches, which I thought/ hoping was going to be a massive Eel..... as I did feel like one when playing it, much to Steve Townsend amusement. 🤣

Well done to our captain, came second overall with 18lb 11oz.

Tirely Court- Pete's Lake

Glad to be back match  fishing.... its been a LONG three months.

Moaning Sods had a match on Tirely Court which is great, as its just up the road from my house.   Thanks lads for letting me join the club.... I am officially a "clubie".

I drew peg 1, which was an end peg and the wind off my back, so "happy days".  The lake fished unbelievably hard and I caught all my fish on 6mm pellet feeding a few mircos pellets.  Had a good run in the last 45 minutes down the edge.

Nice to be back match fishing, a friendly 10 pegger on Tirely Court, Pete's Lake. 

Weighed 82lb for a little win.
