Re: Waters booked for matches.Bazpeck, where in my post was I demanding and ranting about issues, I think your post was exactly a rant. You are contradicting yourself and confusing the issue with your comments. Other posts giving opinions on the subject are sensible and informative, Reg even gave us rules regarding club match bookings and in the past Onelastcast has waited until our match has finished before picking his swim, he didn't come asking if he could fish an empty peg or to go on the end of the match while we were still fishing. On the subject of booking whole stretches, permits are given on the number of members who are in the club and could you tell me a river venue where you could put every single peg in on the match. Pegs are left out for a whole number of reasons, safely getting down the bank to the peg, is the standing big enough to take a box, trees or bushes closing in on the peg, too shallow to put your keepnet out and a host of other reasons. And I'll remind you that you can't always tell where a section / meadow starts and finishes, just because the field is separated by a hedge or fence does not always mean that's the boundary of say 1 and 2 in the middle of a field. It's plainly obvious to me that you just don't like match fishermen, but if you want to continue your discussions with our members on our next BAA match feel free to come to our next match, I'll give you the dates if you like.

Waters booked for matches.I can appreciate that most of the BAA members check to see what venues are booked for matches especially at weekends and to be honest, even after the list of bookings are there for all to see there are still loads of water to go and pleasure fish. These days it takes less than 30 seconds to check on your phone what waters are booked for matches. I'm in two clubs which use BAA venues for club matches and almost every time we go to peg a match out, especially on rivers, we are having to remove anglers who can't be arsed to check the website. Obviously they're not happy to be told there's a match on, but it's their own fault. At our match at Grimley today, we removed one angler before the match and another three while the match was in progress. meaning that a member who is also a bailiff had to stop fishing, get out of his peg and advise them the venue is booked for a match. So if people can't be bothered to check the bookings expect to be moved on if there's a match on the venue.

Halesowen RBL club match Grimley 13/08/23Hard going again on the Severn for some reason, ok some of the lads were on holiday but experienced river anglers struggled for bites. Small roach, perch and chub made up the weights.
