ME will be pleased to learn that BDM caught gudgeon on pellet, corn, worm, double caster and double mag......in fact anything he put on his hook. Sadly they were 100 to the lb jobies, not like them mini barbel up on Little Onn

poor match on the whole, far too many small roach attacking whatever bait you put in the water. with no island swim to fish to unlike most others i managed 4lb of the little sods and lost 3 carp which judging by the size of em may have put me in the frame. not the best day on the whole altho the sandwich before the match must go down as one of the best. maybe it was barbara who was making them?

Might be worth a trip there then just for the butty

THIS MIGHT BE CAUSE WE FISHED THE SILVERFISH POOL

Yep KOD - but Lasher and Rolly Polepot fished it a week last Fri and 'sacked up' - loads of 4-8oz tench (can't remember anyone catching a tench when I weighed in) plus loads of roach knocking the lb mark. My roach were 40 to the lb - even those I caught on the 4mm pellet

Never had the excitement of a tug off anything remotely decent - even thought I fished 95% of the match on 0.08m straight threw in an attempt to provoke the gods and get smashed up.

Set my stall out hoping for 5lb of silvers per hour but if I got plagued by beasties I was 'prepared' but in reality I never even managed a 1lb for every rig I'd got set up  :'(

He must have known your plan mate. But I like your style of thinking  

Didn't you get any pictures

No - the camera rarely comes out on a Curse match - the guys are all too shy (or is it that they don't want you to see whats on their trays or what gear they've got set up )
