Gloucester Canal

Hempstead
Around 7lb (2lb common carp)
3 hours and 40mins

I thought I better had brush up on my silver skills ready for the Turner 400 this weekend, and therefore spent a quick short session on the Gloucester canal. I was very suprised the amount of small fish that I caught, a lot of these small silver bream, also a Zander (never caught one before), 2 small Eels, and some Perch, Roach, Bleak, oh and a CARP?!.

Manor - Boundary Pool

Peg 10
44lb
Section win and 4th overall
24 fished

I haven't fished Manor Farm Lesuire for while, so was looking forward to it. It was on Boundary pool which is the toughest out of all the pools. A lot of different methods do work there, and dog biscuit and baggin wag are two key methods. However, a good breeze, I was hoping to catch skimmers and F1 on the pole at 13 meters on 4mm pellet.

I had an enjoyable day, I had 22lb skimmers and 22lb carp, but got battered by Rob who had 82lb on the "baggin waggler". The skimmers only feed in the first two hours and then switch off, not sure why. However pleased to win section and 4th overall.

MFS at Rolfs Lake

Peg 30
71lb 8oz
Section Win
5th Overall (i think)
18 Fished

Peg 30 at Rolfs lake wouldn't be a peg that I would pick out of choice, especially with pegs 8, 10 and 13 in my section, this would be a preferred areas. But this area can throw up some skimmers and these little (not that little) beauty's are worth catching. So if the lake does fish hard, then I am in a good area to catch these skimmer bream.

I have the prototype Colmic Airon F44 pole to test and no better place to test this fishing pole. Rolfs fish and big and powerful and will test your gear to the limit.

The lake did fish hard and I caught a couple late carp and about 15 skimmers for my 71lb 8oz.

Last fish was this 13lb common, which was hooked in the tail, and almost made it to peg 9's bush........ no joke. This tested my new pole to the limit!

Rolfs - Open

Around 32lb (2 carp, one was 12lb and 13lb of skimmers)
Peg 29
8 people fished
Last as I DNW

The lake was flat calm, and was always going to be difficult, a lot of fish cruising around before the match started but soon disappeared when the match started. I fished for carp for the first 40 mins, which result in one missed bite and then fished for carp in the last hour, but still couldn't catch. Fished for bream for the middle three, on worms, and caught two carp and only 3 proper bream. Hopefully, will fish a lot better on Saturday for our MFS match.

Rolfs's Lake carp do fight so hard, especially the 8lbers!!

Well done to Dai for winning.
