Birmingham Anglers Association

Having pleasure fished for most of my 65 years, and having never fished in a match before, I am getting quite excited about this Saturday - something very different for me. I have spent the last two days trying to attach a string of number 10 shot to a rig. Given up now and am opting for a heavier set up, probably involving some swan shot. Bait preparation tomorrow and those Wolverley fish can expect a smorgasbord of maggots, pinkies, casters, worms and bread. And sweetcorn. Just in case. I have dug out a second keep net in anticipation - I assume there will be a 50lb limit on what can be kept in one net? Looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday. You will recognise me - I will be the old bloke with two keep nets.
