who else you there with?

#3

Tink has an open, but I think its full before you ask.
Ring him up and ask him, might be a space...

don't fancy it, with getting there and it aint fished well for us yet

#5

Aye, its a good way to go. My last match there I packed up and went home

That was a goodyear match if I remember right

#6

I heard a rumour or two the weekend before we fished it Si, plus a supposed EA recommendation that the pools were too heavily stocked which culimanted in some 'thining out'........

But there again, sometimes the rumour mill is miles off the mark, although the weights I've seen recoreded and posted on various forums seem to suggest it isnt the 'ton up' venue it was renowned as being

#7

Yeah I knew about that. But there was another load of rumours going around.

#8

I think things are coming home to roost for all the 'Ton up merchants' Simps

Now 50lb winning weights are dismissed..........and just think of the gnashing of teeth when there's only silvers to go after

We might start seeing some more 'proper' tackle in the shops in the next year or two

#9

The last 3 club matches and 3 goodyear matches that's all I have done mate. Gone after the trusty silvers

Si we fished the the top pool 2 weeks ago 79lb won it and 5 weights over 55lb the others did around 35/40lbs the fog didnt help as it didnt move till 11.00am. Couldnt see the other side of the pool sometimes
The bottom pool was won with 101lb they didnt start till about a good 1 1/2 hours after us and fished for six hours.Had mine on 2/3 casters down the side 14 hook. Some right lumps where caught.R/H side of the pool was favourite,1st peg in the narrow bit won it again 4/5 mrt out and down the side.
corn, maggot, caster

#11

Thank you Frank. Sound like its fishing great.
I will be happy with one fish at the moment

Will post how we get on.

we fished there 3 or 4 weeks ago si and 230 odd pounds won it on the top pool but no one on the top pool that day had less than 100 pounds

#13

That certainly sounds like a couple of positive reports from Frank and Harry the Hit Man...............

All would appear aok and perhaps the rumour mongers are putting it about because it's fished 'difficult' for them

Wasn't the peg ridgeacre on about the 1 you were on

. Just joking it was very hard that day had 6 bites and 5 fish but that was in deep winter after loads of rain. Spoke to Tink this morning he said he is going to give them a ring to see whats going on.

Yes but I bet he didn't have to use a stick float to contend with the amount of water coming in from the top pool(swallow)

#16

Actually he was on about the bottom pool. We fished the top pool mate when I went home early. And it was 1 peg away from where I had 134lb from. Just a different day

JJ_Gallagher · #17

It was bad then the road was flooded when we went back.

#18

Them pool take on some serious water when we have some rain.
The roads were flooded on the day I went home too. Red clay water everywhere.
Did you get a peg for Tinks matchs or not ?

Lookin the EXPRESS STAR (TUES) for last weekend results my mates where on top pool sat think they had a few on it (Queens Head)
