Simple Match Fishing Forum

Just got back in from an afternoon session on the canal at Penkridge

Boy do i feel a lot happier now

After two grueling disastors with TK and crew i thought i'd lost the ability to have a bite never mind catch a fish

But all came right this afternoon fished my favourite method the punch started off with gudgeon but gradually drew the roach to the peg

No really big roach just the close to 2 ounce ones and it sure was nice to see the float go under

Goughy had around 2-3 lbs of gudgeon one perch and one roach i had roughly the same but 75% where roach the rest gudgeon

And for once when you handled the fish they wasn't ice cold perhaps the water is at last beginning to warm up after the last few weeks.

Anyway that was my escapade for today sure beat working for a living

Where was you fishing...
I know the feeling I need to catch something too

Below the boatyard by the road section as you go out of penkridge towards acton trussle

I fished just before the bank gets rough Alan fished nearly opposite the inlet arm where the boat is moored

Ahh gotcha. Should have said you were going. I would have popped up

We didn't arrange it till 12pm we where on the way there at 12.45

Good to hear you had a few Cheslynboy  


It's amazing what you can do when the   aint about  


How come Goughy's bag of fish differed from yours  Was he on pinkie & squatt  

TK he had loads of his fish on caster the ones left over from saturday

I fished bread all the way through

He also had some on white squatt

One big Question.........
















Was there any trumpet blowing in the car on the way home

Nope i had a full orchestra i sent you tickets but you where still worrying over the upcoming grueller
