Match Fishing Diary: April 2013

Wednesday, 24 April 2013. Something New - Match Report Whitehall Carp/Silvers Doubles. Well onto the doubles match, Dave asked us all to be a little early meeting for breakfast as draw may take a while to do. But where was Dave? On the loo apparently, unbelelievable after poor Ash and Dan had got there without any sleep and both smelling like a brewery pickled in jagerbombs! The match started with the carp boys looking like gnomes. Cut a long story short they all maintained this look throughout the m...

http://barnesfishing.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 12 March 2013. Out of Action but Keeping Busy. This time of year I fish fewer matches due to rugby commitments and the weather being grim. I usually start to get going more around march time however disaster has struck. Unfortunately I had a bad injury that has completely stopped me doing anything and for the past week I could not move very easily off the sofa. I am not one for sitting still for long so cabin fever is well and truly kicking in! Range and from sconey's floats at sconezone. So ont...

Monday, 26 May 2014. Whitehall League Match - 1st Match - Whitehall Club Pool. Exciting times, after the classic final is the start of the club season and my 4th year in the club. After winning the league in year 1 and then not committing to the league as much as I should in my second year I wanted it last year and missed out. This year I have my eye firmly on this league title and the knockout to do the double! As it happens I drew the peg. So with 2 hours to go I had 2 micro rudd in the net, ugh oh!

Sunday, 9 February 2014. First Matches of 2014. Well the weather has been little short of apocalyptic recently and with a few pole sections still to be delivered, although I have had broken sections repaired, I was left with few options when fishing. Luckily Mick Whatling allowed me to borrow a no6 from his gmax1000 so I was out fishing! Thanks Santa. shiny new box! I was reticent to go out for a few weeks with the weather being awful! Best get some pinkie to winkle out some roach down edge! Whitehall Le...

Match Fishing Diary: Classic Qualifiers
http://barnesfishing.blogspot.com/2013/12/classic-qualifiers.html
Thursday, 12 December 2013. Andy Kinder (Maver / Marukyu). Pole and pellet / margins. Thomas Hanson (Barnsley Bait). I was feeding Old Ghost Krill groundbait with dead reds to the back of a clump of reeds to my left, just out of picture, at 11m in 10" of water. It was solid with fish and I was about to go onto this line when a gust of wind blew over my rollers and saw carbon splinter everywhere. A nightmare of broken carbon lay behind me and I couldn't reach the fish! Andy Kinder (Maver / Marukyu). I chu...
