RESULT ROUND FOUR
as you well know this round was back on the canal we had inch of rain in three hours saturday night and it was forecast

so the draw had been done in plenty of time this week
we used the town sections and bishops meadow some said the colour would be really bad ::) ::)but when pegging out it looked a good colour
sunday morning the draw was made and we new what peg set trentmen had got and to be fair our draw was on par yet anything can happen when the canal is coloured

fish spread out more plus the wind put pay to a lot of feature pegs i had drawn mark gobfrey in my section so say nomore

its crap i hate the canal

but once we had him in is high chair he settled down

with all the cold water that had gone in after the first hour without a bit i began to fear the worest

bank runners had told me mark had caught some perch so i started another line of choppy and left it for 15 mins before having a go and bingo a bit :otrouble was it was a ruffe

so again i started making new lines around my peg knowing that at some time i would come across a few perch on one of them .i did keep my caster lines as well after a few phone calls it looked pretty good ason or two of the team had some bonus fish in there nets yet at our end trentmen were winning i really enjoyed the match as it was nip and tuck between us and trentmen with bennett close behind

mark would phone me and then i'd phone him a specially when i caught a roach of a pound on half a lobby

but about dinner sport really tailed off and having lost two fish the section was in the balance

at the weigh in i'd been beat from the end peg

and a last gasp perch ffor the long eaton angler ment i was third with mark to weigh bless him he beat me and then started telling me what a good match he'd had ::) ::) ::)top fun between us thou

the sections that the moaners thought would be too coloured fished the best and a noted chub peg came good for IAN PHILLIPS OF LONG EATON ian had 4 chub upto 4lb and weighed 5kg400g for good win and believe me it was windy down there at the swingbridge ian fished right over to a bush and caught on wom and caster
2nd was ROGER MARLOW LEICESTER SENSAS there's no stopping roger at the minute roger had 4kg750g of roach from bishops
3rd was tied withROB JONES LEICESTER SENSAS AND STEVE OAKS OF WIGSTON BOTH HAD 4KG300G and 5th was PETER MARLOW LEICESTER SENSAS pete had 4kg 200g of roach from off the boats ii think this is why rogers on his toes a bit at the moment
