Sunday 27/07/2014 - Avon Angling Open - Chiltern Trinity - Woodlands

Coming up to the final week of the house refurbishment with just the rendering/sparing left which Rich “Rog” Lacey (pictured right with Bristol’s finest Roofer Bela “The Cat” Bakos) is doing with matey Ricky.

With Bela otherwise engaged sleeping off a night out with Stella I travelled down with Tim Ford. After breakfast at Hill Tops it was off to the draw where I was surprised to find only 13 booked in, it’s usually a sell out on the excellent venue. It might have been because Tony was otherwise engaged at his eldest sons wedding. Tim Ford showed me Tony’s picture dressed up in full dress tails. I still haven’t stopped laughing. It appears that the hire company only caters for one large size – marquee. Apparently the picture is on Assbook.

The advantage of low turn out is that everyone plenty of room. I drew peg 18 and had the entire end bank to myself. Unfortunately the platform is very high and even though my left shoulder is gradually improving it was going to help me landing Carp with is the species I decided to target.

I plumbed up with the paste float in the margin and was disappointed to find that the shallowest area was 3 ½ foot deep. To make matters worse I had a strong wind blowing directly in to me. So it was a 0.3 gram paste float on the top set and a Ronnie rig just in case, which I started on with caster as a tester. It didn’t last long as the swim was full of ½ ounce Ronnie’s with the hook bait not even reaching bottom. So that went up the bank not to be used again.

On to the paste fished over hard 4’s in to the RH margin and I had a Carp first put in. The same happened next put in except the Carp found a snag high up in the water which broke the line just below the float!! New identical rig (if that is possible) and I had a good first hour catching as soon as the paste hit bottom. It then slowed, finding that the tow away from the bank was a real problem as the bank was very steep and soon dragging the float way in to deeper water that combined with the Ronnie’s playing footy with it became a nightmare having to re-bait in less than a minute. Holding the float back help a tad but wasn’t the whole answer. I did keep a few fish coming but was also foul hooking a lot due to the depth of the margin.

For the first time I fan out of paste before the last hour and luckily matey Paul Lock came to the rescue giving me some of his.

The last hour was a dower affair with the wind picking up I got cold and had to put a jumper on whilst everyone else basked in the warmth.

The venue fished extremely well I was just glad I didn't have to weigh in as those pictured right!!

My 15 Carp weighed 81lb 3oz and by few Perch up to 2lb (mostly foul hooked) went 5lb 12oz for a total of 86lb 15oz.

Because of the low turn out there was big weights however, there was a close finish for the section by double default between me, Tom Mangnel and Adrian Jefferies with Tom just nicking it.

The match was won by Tim Ford (pictured right with the Silvers winner) with a massive 222lb 15oz from peg 32. Tim caught on 10mm pellet …see his blog for further details. Thanks for the larger.

The Silvers was won by Bridgwater’s finest Paul Lock with 48lb 8oz of Skimmers from peg 15. Paul caught t 11.5 metres fishing paste over micro. Paul fed about 2 pints of micro with some paste included. Nice to watch.

Finally I must mention Leon Hubbard who estimated his catch at just over 100lb only 90lb out then!!

Sunday 20/07/2014 - Avon Angling Top Six League - Round Two - Chiltern Trinity - Woodlands

I currently have lost most of the strength and movement in my left shoulder, my landing net arm. Having tried the arm out I considered not going, but was swayed by the fact there was the small Silvers to go after where the net would be unnecessary.

It was a diversion away from my favourite Hill Top café to Shipham where Bela can get the bigger breakfast.

The fishery has suffered from a virus closing for a few weeks losing about 200 Carp. I don’t get over worried about these events because I think its nature’s way of ensure a sustainable balance of fish life.  As the results show the fishing hasn’t been affected, in fact I would go as far as to say it may have improved.

On the way to the fishery Bela started on about not wanting to draw the near bank – Dummkopf – and where did he end up on peg 28, his wild talk also influenced me into peg 25. I really didn’t mind as I can catch the small fish from any peg. For company I had Tony Rixon on peg 24 – pictured right praying and making sacrifices to the margin Gods before the start. It is normally beneficial to have Tony in your section as he usually frames in effect reducing the section numbers by one!

Even though it was a short pole match (top set plus three) I only set up two top sets one with paste in the RH down wind (which was very strong) margin and the Ronnie rig for the same margin.

I had another practice with the landing net which confirmed my thinking of targeting the Silvers even though it would mean conceding to Steve Seagar whom I had drawn in the knockout.

So it was single caster over loose fed caster on the Ronnie rig to hand. I normally feed with my left hand so I had to switch to the right which slowed my feeding and catching rate. I was further slowed by the time it took to find a caster that was big enough for the fish to see. It was a small Ronnie’s, Rudd and tiny Skimmers non stop for four hours during which I also had three small Carp and braking on a fouler.

I can tell when Carp arrive as the bites get iffy on the caster and it was at this time that I switched to the paste and had three Carp in three put in again losing a couple of foulers. It was really slow playing the fish as I had to play them until they were laid out on the surface. It was pain full for me and I guess to watch. So it was back on the caster until the last half hour when the Carp arrived in numbers. On to the paste over kindered hard 4’s and I added another three Carp. By the time I landed the last one I had found a way of minimising the shoulder pain and was left thinking that it might had been better for section points and knockout if I found this method before the start. That said if I hadn’t fished for Carp I would have added the few ounces I needed to win the Silvers instead of second spot. Nonetheless I did pick up coin which is one of the main missions. It’s all about making the right decisions.

"Match anglers never get to pass a winning line".

My 300 odd Silvers went 17lb 12oz (Ave; 1 ½ oz) and my nine Carp 38lb 9oz for a total of 56lb 5oz.

The match was by Shaun Townsend (pictured right with some of his catch) with 121lb from peg 9. Shaun caught on meat in both his margins and with spells shallow out in front.

The Silvers was won by Clint “Primark” Wojtyle (pictured right with the match winner - who apparently paid £60 for three pairs of underpants) with 18lb 6oz from peg 11. Clint caught shallow on caster out in front.

Full Result:

1. Shaun Townsend 121-0-0 peg 9
2. Tony Rixon 106-05-0 peg 24
3. Paul Elms 105-06-0 peg 30

Sunday 06/07/2014 - Avon Angling Float Only - Round Four - Landsend Fishery - Specimen, Match and John's Water

After a week of having the builders in (“Ten Thou” pictured right aka Paul Haines working on my garage roof) I didn’t have any time to prepare for the match and I certainly didn’t have my head in gear either and I still had a nagging cough brought back from the Airplane from Spain. My paste pellets also had cement dust in them. With another bright sunny day promised I lashed on the sun cream, however, the peg I came draw was in the shade all day and I really needed a fleece instead.

Another busy café at Shipham it was also long wait for the draw. I had no pre-thoughts on where I wanted to be, but as I had said many times before my favourite Lake is John’s Water – not everyone’s favourite especially Chris Fox!!

Luckily I pull peg 46 on John’s Water. Where I also found an unhappy Chris fox on my favourite peg 41.

Tony pegs it such that everyone has an end of an island (wasted on me) or a corner peg so plenty of room on peg 46 as it’s the longest island. For company on next peg 45 I had Dave Cockayne who challenged me to a “Paste Off” Glenn Bailey who was on opposite peg 66 over heard and joined in, making it a three way tie. The result – no contest really - see weigh sheet!!

Two paste rigs one 0.2 for the margin and the other a 0.3 gram to be fished at 11-o-clock at 9 metres – simple. Whilst preparing my bait some floating casters went in the water close to my feet and within seconds two large Carp were munching them – Umm.

At the start I fed half a pot of hard 4’s on the long line and loose drip fed the margin where I decided to start because of spotting those earlier Carp feeding on my caster. In 8 put- in I had 8 Crucian’s on the paste. I then speared a few small Rudd and Ronnie’s – the bell for leaving the margin alone and trying the long line even though there wasn’t any signs of life or blowing, so it was a surprised when I had three small Carp about 2lb a piece. It then when dead, not even any Silvers pecking the paste – not a good sign. The Lake was fishing hard.

I decided to give the caster a go in the margin so the Ronnie rig was set up which proved to be worth five Perch for 2oz!

I decided to stay on the paste in the margin comfortably fishing my top set for the last four hours lose feeding soaked 4’s plus kindering in additional feed with the paste. This peg has a great LH margin with a steep slope for the paste to roll down with the feed. The upshot was I would catch two decent Carp to 10lb then another two after a 30 minute or so wait during which I added another nine decent Carp.

I thought I might have 8lb of Crucian’s but was surprised they only went 5lb 15oz these fish really fight above their weight. My twelve Carp weighed 69lb 9oz for a section second weight of 75lb 14oz – happy with this considering the Lake didn’t fish that well.

The match was won by Paul Elmes (pictured right with the Silvers winner) with 155lb 10oz from peg 27. Paul fish 16/17 metres to the opposite island with paste hook bait.

The Silvers was won by Paul Faiers with 32lb from peg 31. Paul switched from the non productive CW&C to soft pellet over GB to get the Skimmers feeding.

Full Result:

1. Paul Elmes 155-10-0 peg 27
2. Shaun Townsend 131-14-0 peg 9
3. Martin Rayett 123-10-0 peg 38
4. Tom Mangnall 99-13-0 peg 33
5. Bob Gullick 98-07-0 peg 50
6. Neil Mercer 95-11-0 peg 36

Sunday 29/06/2014 - Avon Angling Float Only - Shiplate Farm - Hawthorne, Specimen Lake and West Pool

Today was to be another typical June Summers day without rain. Arriving at Shipham café it was very busy full with few anglers going to two other matches and some very tired looking festival goers from Glastonbury Shipham café was very busy. Bela thoroughly enjoyed his BIG breakie.

On to the draw with virgin (venue) Dave Haines following. I was hoping for any peg except one on the Specimen Lake. What do I draw – Specimen Lake peg 14A. I did a poor impersonation of Chris Fox throwing my peg at Tony. I did have plenty of room on the peg with Eddy Wynne on end peg 15 and Bathampton’s finest Shaun Townsend on peg 13.

I have drawn round here before and found that I caught a few fish early only to struggle for the rest of the match so I had this in mind.

Whilst setting the tackle box near level I noticed some Carp in the LH margin which gave me a lot of false hope.

I had matey Bela in the Knock out who happened to be behind me on West Pool 14. I really fancied his chances from his peg. That said I think I would have fancied his chances more had we swapped pegs, the fishing on the Specimen Lake just doesn’t suit my style.

I set up two paste rigs one for the LH margin in 30 inches, the other for 9 metres (short enough not to ship over West Pool behind me Steve Tuckers peg) I don’t like breaking down whilst playing fish) and a 4x14 Jolly for any other bait and fish also at 9 metres.

On the all in I fed the two lines with a pot of hard 4’s. Over the next hour I had three Carp averaging 6lb. For the next 30 minutes I caught Skimmers. For the next 4 ½ hours I caught absolutely nothing. It was all a bit strange for me I found I was getting Carp blowing away from my feed where I would drop the paste over only for the blow to stop and to reappear elsewhere I would again drop the paste in expecting the float to shoot under only for the blow to move away. None of this blowing was over the bait. Your guess is as good as mine, but I think it was the odd fish feeding with not enough to compete for my bait as they were for the early minutes.

Having tried the margin a number of times without a bite and various baits including caster on the Ronnie rig I couldn’t add to my weight I was really glad to hear the all out.

My three Cap weighed 19lb 2oz and my few Silvers 5lb 14oz for a total 25lb – all caught in the first 90 minutes! However all was not lost as I picked up the section by double default as Eddy and Shaun (helped by a beautiful 13lb Grass Carp pictured right - caught shallow at 16 metres) framed.

As I expected Bela beat me in the knockout by a good margin with 43lb 10oz fishing a tidy match and also wining his section, well done matey, so the Van went home happy with us sharing the cost of the Pinky Ponk.

The match was won by Tom Mangnall (pictured right with some of his catch) who was opposite me on peg 1 weighing 101lb 9oz. Tom initially caught on the shallow waggler out to the end of the opposite island and later on catch at 6 metres over meat which was his most productive period.

The Silvers was won by Rich Lacey (pictured lower right with a very close match runner up) with 10lb 14oz of small fish.

The man of the match was Pete Notton (pictured bottom right with a blush on, definitely not sun burn) whom picked up his section by triple default with 4lb 10oz!!

1. Tom Mangnall 101-09-0 peg 1 (Speci)
2. Glenn Bailey 100-05-0 peg 2 (Speci)

Wednesday 25/06/2014 - Amalgamation Summer League - Round One - Sabre Lake

It was the start of the Amalgamation Summer League with the first match at Sabre Lake. Breakfast at home today, but did get a coffee in the van opposite the venue.

The league is sold out with 24 booked in but we had 4 short due to holidays etc…It was nice to see the legend Colin Golding (pictured right) putting in appearance, peg 1 for him.

The Amalgamation has stocked 1000 - 8 to10oz Skimmers hopefully they will show. I was looking forward to the match and didn’t mind where I drew as long as it wasn’t the Bay of Biscay where the Lake is becalmed.

In to the draw bag and out comes peg 19 which was on the edge of Biscay and for company I had the other river legend Mike Jones on peg 20. Unfortunately for Mike he was further into the bay than me so I should scrap the Silvers battle that was coming.

After plumbing around I found the depth a bit disappointing only finding at 9 metres 4 feet. I set up two Ronnie rigs one on the 4 metre whip and the other on the top-set to hand. The third rig was a 4x14 Jolly – all Silver rigs. I then realised that I had only brought my Carp top sets so walked round and borrowed a top-set off Harry Muir with a no 6 in. I attached the Jolly rig to this.

I started by feeding small balls of GB laced with caster on the top-set line with caster hook bait and the first fish was a Gudgeon. Long time since I caught one of these. I caught a few small Rudd, Ronnie’s and bottle top Skimmers for a while, all of them except Gudgeon were caught in the last 12 inches on the drop.

I then opened a CW&C line at 9 metres at 10-0-clock and first try with worm resulted in a foul hooked Carp which I decided to let go on Harry’s no 6!

The upshot was that after trying allsorts I fished the last two hours with banded hard fours over micro missing lots of bites and bumping just as many 2-3oz Ronnie’s. Once the micro settled on the bottom I couldn’t get a bite so re-feeding was essential.

I would get what I thought was fish fizzing over the feed but I was fooled because if you watched it carefully a lump of black silt would pop up. Hence the reason I think I couldn’t catch on the bottom. The feed in conjunction with the hot weather was reacting with silt.

I weighed 9lb for second in the Silvers just piping Mike Jones. I am sure the roles would have been reversed if we had swapped pegs.

The match was won by Malcolm Ockwell (pictured right with the Silvers winner) with 51lb 4oz from peg 3. Malcolm started fishing for Silvers but notice Carp in his LH margin where he had been feeding maggot and pellet. Malcolm caught on various baits.

The Silvers was won by Doug Sutton with 19lb 8oz from peg 14. Doug caught on his favoured method small feeder with GB and maggot with maggot or worm hook baits. It looked as if Doug was the only angler to land on the new stocked Skimmers.

Sunday 22/06/2014 - Viaduct Summer League - Campbell, Carey and Lodge Lakes

I think ISIS is bemusing the west. It took the combined forces of NATO and the US to “Liberate” Libya with sophisticated weapons costing billions of dollars. It appears it has taken four students from Cardiff with bandanas and old AK47’s to take it back! Tony Blair has a lot to answer for.

After spending a week down the Viaduct Fishery I was feeling a bit jaded but was up for another visit when asked to reserve for Andy Ford who apparently has Chicken Pox. Glenn Bailey my travelling partner for today was guesting for Tom Mangnall. Travelling down there was plenty of activity preparing for Glastonbury Festival so an area to avoid next week. We had breakfast in Cannards Well.

The really hot weather is still with us a shady peg would not only be a good for the body but also probably good for the fishing.

I choose not to fish the league as there wasn’t a Silvers pool that said it was still a sell out with 55 anglers fishing. With the 120 peg Maver Match This match on the day before it’s hard to determine how it will fish and where you would need to draw. So with the mind blank except the wish for shade it was in to the coffee tin and out comes peg 86, end bank of Carey Lake. A quick look at yesterday’s results and plenty of DNW’s on the end bank with peg 87 weighing 80lb. No shade here all day in the blazing sun it was to be.

I was lucky as I found myself with great company with Steve Skelton on peg 85, Glynn Reynolds peg 87. Dave Roper peg 87 and Kev Moulton on peg 90. The complete end bank was full with proper anglers so there wouldn’t be any thrashing around at 16 metres hoping for a Carp to catch you.

For the first time for some while I didn’t have any casters in the bait bag and felt a bit unprepared so went a bought a pint in the shop passing Tony Rixon on the way who thought it would fish well today – time will tell.

I set up three rigs to paste one for 10 metre and one for the LH margin which I had cleared out and a Ronnie rig which didn’t get wetted. The bait tray consisted of 2 pints of 4’s, paste and a pint casters.

On the whistle I fed a pot of 4’s at 10 metres and started lose feeding casters in the margin. First put in I had a 10 lb Mirror Carp quickly followed by another two. I was winning the Lake after twenty minutes! I fed again and found that the Skimmers moved in catching three for 8lb 2oz. I notice a big swirl over the caster so re-fed the long lone and put the margin paste rig over the caster and within seconds the float went under at a rate of knots only for me to miss it, with the Carp waving goodbye with a large bow wave. I did have another swirl later in the match with a repeat performance - so nothing from the margin.

We then had a welcome visit from the Ice cream girl and had a rest from the fishing joining Steve Skelton to eat our choc ices.

Back out on the long line and the Skimmers had buggered off to Glynn’s peg where he was catching so good-uns. I had a quiet period but at least I wasn’t getting pestered by the Silvers which told me there were Carp around. I then had a twenty pounder which was a bit too big for the landing net breaking the net head lifting it out. Thankfully Glynn came to the rescue with a Freenze Landing net.

I started kindering the feed with the paste and although I got more fish in the swim I had brought them up in the water foul hooking a couple which are too large to land hooked like this and happily pulling out without rig damage. I returned to dump feeding and fishing it out catching big Carp until the end. The tenth and last fish was a large double Common Carp which again broke the landing net head lifting it out. It was the first time I’ve broke a keep net head and today I break two! I think this was down to the very hot weather softening the plastic that secured the screw fixing.

Glynn and I had a good old battle although he had two more Carp than me I thought my Carp were much bigger, but thought he would sneak it with his 40lb of Skimmers.

My ten Carp weighed 124lb 12oz plus my Skimmers taking my total to 132lb 14oz for 11^th overall!! I was amazed that I had beat Glynn by 14oz. I did pick up second in the section by default

Dave Roper on peg 88 had a personal best today a 23lb 14oz Carp (pictured above right)

The match was won by Mash (pictured right) with 250lb 4oz from peg 98. Mash caught all his fish on the straight lead with 11mm banded pellet. He fed 2 pints of 8’s throughout the match.

The series was won by Andy Neale (pictured lower right adding another Carp to his on the day second overall 220lb) caught on the straight lead from peg 81. Andy caught either over to empty peg 82 or out to the end of the spit. He fed two bags of 8 pellet.

Tony Rixon was right the venue fished it's head off with nearly half the 55 fishing breaking the ton!!

Thursday 19/06/2014 - Viaduct Cost Cutter - Campbell and Carey Lakes

All of us holiday makers back for the cost cutter which is still proving popular, with Campbell and Carey in the draw I was hoping for Carey to have a go with caster for the Silvers. However, I pulled peg 125 which Ron Hardiman fished the day before and really struggled.

It was 20 degrees by 8 o clock and was only going to get hotter; peg 125 would only offer the burning sun until 30 minutes to go. I set the pole length so I could ship back without going over or through the Otter fencing, which was 9 metres.

Two paste floats this time because it’s deeper at this end of the Lake I chose 0.3 gram paste floats one for the margin which had enough line above the float so I could use it out in front as back up.

I started by feeding a whole pot of 4’s our in front and one pint of casters in to the margin. I later topped this up with another pint but failed to feed off the Ronnie’s. So it was the paste out in front which was used for most of the day.

If I let the pole sit behind me more a minute I would burn my hands shipping out.

The paste I use differs from that used by Glenn Bailey; I use a dryer harder mix which I can adjust in size from 10 mm to 25 mm. And unlike Glenn I shot my floats. This enables the paste to get to the bottom quicker and has less upward force on the paste which aids lifting and dropping. I can also switch types of baits if necessary typically Dendrabena works well from time to time.

As usual I was soon landing a 10lb Carp. For the next hour I caught Skimmers and Tench this meant adjusting down the size of paste. I thought I was on for a decent Silvers weight when the Carp arrived. Over the rest of the match I caught 13 more decent Carp losing a three foul hookers and one I pulled a bit too hard on letting it go free.

My Silvers weighed 18lb 4oz and my 14 Carp 96lb 12oz for a total of 115lb for eighth place.

Some interesting details arising from the match. I was opposite Tim Ford who was on peg 116. It’s often that Campbell Lake will fish similarly across the Lake. Now Tim’s and my weights were similar the exception being Tim had more Silver fish and smaller Carp, whereas I had less Silvers and bigger Carp. Now this is due to the way we fish with Tim preferring hard banded pellet to my paste. I think the more Silvers are due to the pellet sitting on top the silt more so than paste, which tends to sink further in to the silt. It was also interesting that both Glenn and I had similar weight of both Skimmers and Carp even though we fish the paste slightly differently.

The match was won by Mark Wynne (pictured right with the Silvers winner) with 186lb 15oz from peg 130. Mark caught stalking with 10mm banded pellet at 14.5 metres taking most of his catch in the first four hours struggling for four more fish in the remaining two hours.

The Silvers was won by Ian Parsons with 34lb 4oz from peg 119. Ian caught mainly “Accidental” Tench at 7 metres down his RH margin using hard banded pellet whilst trying to catch Carp!

Phil Cardwell did well off peg 123 - but it was rested the day before!!

Well this was the end of our match fishing for the week which the weather, company, accommodation, our host, food, drink and fishing were exceptional. Less said the better about England’s poor performance against Uruguay in the World Cup. We have all booked in again for next year. Just to say how similar the shirt arm logo is to Preston Innovation’s.
