Salmon Eggs it's The Trent not The Moy, I'm going to organise a fair bit of bait for us all, Hopefully a few gallons of maggots, hemp, ground bait ( maybe not needed), possibly some casters...I've been told I've got to go for a pint and a catch up to let them know what we want, but within reason they're happy to lay on the basics... they've even said they would get it couriered up for us..... as far as boilies, meat or more specialst type baits that'll be down to you... I'm not to sure on live baits either... this is a traditional coarse fishing match ( well it was meant to be )..... That's great on the truck mate thanks a lot, a few of the older boys will be delighted with a taxi service to the rivers edge This is a get together at the end of the day mate, we'll make a few quid for charity and hopefully everyone will have a good day, I'm getting worried now Arch that those 13lb scales wont be enough Cheers Kev Edited May 23, 2013 by NEWKID 1 Quote Link to post

Acuspell 329 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) Hi lads, Acuspell, I don't normally run charity matches, infact this is the first match I've helped organise for years lol The exact charity has not been decided but, cancer research or something similar was the idea, the initial idea was due to the loss of 2 very close friends who I fished with ( well was taught by one) through this disease.. But this is not my match, or entirely my choice of charity.... I just put the idea out there and we've ran with it, Ossie and Arch and Lurcher1 are doing alot of the leg work on the venue and after venue pub.. The match itself is a coarse fishing match and will be fished from drawn pegs, so would need to be fished from the bank ( to be fair to everyone else). It would be great if you came and fished mate, I've now sorted bait for the event and our tackle shop has thrown their support to it ( ill put a post on the main thread on general talk)... Socks It's a coarse fishing match, the main species would be barbel, chub, roach maybe bream.............. Oh and those bloody pike.. As in most coarse matches game fish won't count.. This was to be like the old traditional matches from the 80's 90's and fishing a natural waterway instead of he manafacured carp ponds which are so popular now,.... Well that was the original idea lol.. Cheers lads Never even seen one of them, other than in pictures ! I don't have bait rods...I have a little 8' spinning rod and 2000 size reel I occassionally use but have absolutely no idea what you do with bait! Those bloody pike...I FLY FISH FOR THEM (from the kayak as well!) see here: or this one: smaller one - but just as welcome! Amazing what you see on the kayak and the friends you meet - pulls the birds as well..... Edited May 24, 2013 by Acuspell 4 Quote Link to post
Acuspell 329 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) It's Ok I sorted it out! Edited May 24, 2013 by Acuspell Quote Link to post
NEWKID 27,162 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Lovely pics mate, I will be in touch regards the course just had a few things going on at the minute.... You'd be welcome to borrow a rod and reel and I'll sort you out a set up, if you fancy a day out... Quote Link to post
