GUC Tring last Thursday on a wide section. Fished waggler and maggot and had bites all day. Roach, skimbobs, gudgeon and perch for almost 20lb...
Today on another section of the GUC had an interclub match with a very good turnout. It fished hard and breadpunch was the bait needed for the roach and skimmers. First half hour was a bite a chuck on maggot on the bottom of the far shelf. 1 good perch and lots of roach until it died. Then it was punch or nothing for the rest of the match. Trashed three delicate rigs hard across @11m on hanging branches which was aggravating as I was catching some nice roach. Ended up with 3lb:0:8 for nowhere.
7lb:12 won and 7lb:11 second.
19 fished...
How did you get on?
