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.....

 

 

VERY IMPRESSIVE well done
