Simple Match Fishing Forum

well i can only start by saying SORRY for how bad it fished i have never seen it fish that hard and add the amount of boat traffic it was never going to get better
all i can say is please give it another chance,the good thing is march is still a long way off ::) ::)
and the next round will be in town even if we have to use every peg,this year the roach have migrated more than ever before and with the new marina a lot of fish must have gone in there for winter

Well done Joff. Shame it fished so hard. I actually quite enjoyed it and the obstacle course on the way to Peg 24 at Pillings helped work the Xmas Turkey off! Cant believe how many bonus perch there were in the first 30 pegs. Looks like i did OK with 1-13-8 (it wouldve been 2lb if the 3oz pike i caught on bloodworm counted!) ...and where did that bloody great marina spring up from???

yes mate 7 pts that marina has been there since last year its got moorings for 280 boats :-[so summer fishing might be a disaster]

Well done Joff, shame it fished hard when you put so much effort in, them roach are fickle.

cheers lloyd two rtoach weights in a 120 peg match and rob hemmings only 9 roach for 5lb 6oz

i would of thought woodworm would of told us how he caught by now

He dont know himself

I've been righting it since yesterday.....I'm still trying to word it so it sounds like i actually knew what i was doing...It aint easy!

Well done Chockie Munster - that's a couple of ace results on your travels in 2008

Look forward to the read

Any pickies too

He takes longer than you for putting up his reports

I'm working on it!....


You just dont realise how difficult it is in alcoholic season!

joff bet that marina full of roach and skimmer in the winter

I think 1st and 2nd in my section were either side of it Chris! Brad was to the right, got boated out, went for a looooong walk (!? ), came back and had 4lb+ and was not far off framing...

yes think brad had 4 pound 6 oz and neil pickford had 1 poud 13 oz brad had got 1 lil perch at half one so he had all is fish late on

jon yesterday we fished in the town and it was just as bad mate so we packed up and headed to the marina in the photo just to see how big it is it surprised us all mate. we sat down in the lovely bar/ restaurant and some lovely food over looking the marina we must of sat there for a couple of hours and watched fish topping all over the place and not just small ones
funny thing was the girl [maria] serving the food had been a old school friend and as you do we got talking and cut a long story short ::) ::)the subject got onto fishing and i just said "are you allowed to fish in the marina"she answered" i don't think anyone has asked that question"and off she went and fetched the boss this was looking good at this stage
after a few minutes a young man came and answered the question oddly enough he was 100% boaters as some of them pay £3,000 a year to moor there :-/suddenly it wasn't looking quiet as good :-/until he said the word charity match so after another half a hour it was looking 50% BOATERS 50% ANGLING the lads had taken a walk around by this time and sorted out how many pegs we could use
so watch this space

Can you get 120 pegs on there?

take a look at the plans www.pillingslock.com he is interested and it would have to be under his rules like 13metre limit and no catapults
in the new year i will see if i can have a 20 peg match for a start just to see how the boaters react with him and then take it from there anglers will have to be vetted first so that wold rule woodworm out

If i can't use woodworm I'm not wishing.

Interesting stuff Joff, but on a serious note I was talking my mate the other day and he reckons his friend's company is building marinas like that all over the place now. It's big business. I've seen countless marinas spring up on my old Grand Union where i grew up. All the places we used to fish are now solid with boats from first light and even when its going dark! There's gonna be a lot more marinas and boats on all the canals in 5-10 years which doesn't bode well for the future of canal fishing.
