Rob's Day

Second match in and again cancelled due to 2 inches of ice covering Hall Farm! A few members of the Wednesday club decided to fish the Backwater. As this is my first write up I just want to thank Phil for all his work over the last few years and helping me take over the duties. Apt then that I drew next to Phil so we could have a chat and I could watch him catch all day!

I was on peg 13 – river looked ok with a bit of colour but little flow. Breadpunch caught a few roach but very small, a change to maggots still produced small fish but least getting bites. As the day went on a few better dace and at the end a couple of 4oz roach took me to 3lbs 7 oz but I thought a way off Phil’s catch which included a few decent perch. Elsewhere most had a few bites but with small fish and also some pike trouble. Tony on peg 18 not helped by the fact he decided just to take his feeder gear!

1st Phil Whitmill 5lbs 12oz, 2nd Rob Calderon 3lbs 7oz 3rd Bill Beeston 2lbs 3oz. Photo is Phil with his good catch.
