Birmingham Anglers Association

Hello Fellow d’anglers,
Well what a day that was fishing on “Wild Water”.
I was so pleased that we were able to get our “dad and lad tag team” in a safe and fishable peg!
Great that we are all looking after each other, just as CF59 intended that we do.

Thanks for the feedback on the Match Fishing Forum, I may sound like a scratched record, but I wish that more of the Clubs posted their results, as I do believe that it helps to increase our cumulative knowledge on how well or poorly our waters are fishing (rant over).

I just want to say that having witnessed all of the weigh in’s, that I was really impressed with the number of fish and species that were caught, well done to all of you for your skills and perseverance.

Here is a rundown of what was caught,
Bleak, Chublet, Gudgeon, Perch, Pike, Roach and Skimmer Bream.

I think that bin, (whom I was pegged next to upstream) called me to say that he had a good fish on, then told me it was a Pike, which I witnessed and weighed, see the attached photo and then released, did exceptionally well to land that fish, well done bin!

I thought that Dave Holland catching that lovely Roach on a Hair Rigged Pink Wafter, was inspirational,

But Charliebigchub (also pegged next to me downstream), was the unluckiest d’angler on the day as he hooked into something that ended up breaking his rod tip and straightening the hook!

So a great day was had by all, and made all the better for the rain not coming until we had all packed up, result!

Our next contest is on 07th October, on the Staffs / Worcs Canal between Bridges 39 - 40, Swindon

Until then,

Keep on Fishing….
