Boddington 2021?

[Steve King]

Is anyone interested in a casual fish-in at Boddington in late August or early September?

Which of the following is ok for you? 28 or 29 August, 4 or 5 September?

Let me check holiday dates, I am sure my partner is booking a long weekend and midweek around the north west.

Ditto. Just pray to the rain Gods this year.

Any day is fine, and hope the weather is as well.

I plan to be in France by the end of august for a month even flying from Gatwick. Those plans could go awry however if covid restrictions worsen.

 

[wetthrough]

Yes, I'm up for it.

 

[Steve King]

OK guys, shall we go for 4 September then?

 

[Ray Roberts]

Fine by me.

Last 2 years a waggler and maggot/casters was all that was needed for some quality roach. No keepnet needed. The roach were not tackle shy.
If the water is up the top it will be deep close in. I would consider a pole but PC can advise better on that.
There are lots of carp for the match anglers in there. From what I have read its all method for them . Most FM ers seem to take the advantage of the quality roach.
There was a biblical wind and rain last year and float fishing was just about impossible. I caught roach on a light maggot feeder/picker rod .

Howl ! Brother Boris permitting I shall be in Keffalonia on 4 Sept. Have a good day lads.

Rain is guaranteed as Simon's going. He is the new Windy.

Its mostly concrete steps so I'd say seatbox...Simon will know.

Kefalonia?! I’m jealous!! I was about to book a holiday there before the first lockdown!

As regards seating, I don’t own a seat box but had no problem with my Chub chair.

Me too! Spent a few very pleasant holidays staying at Nine Muses in Skala back in the day.

I found a seatbox OK if the front legs are on the lower step and the back on the one behind if that makes sense. I dont have a platform on the front of it.
At first sight its rather daunting. A huge water with a rocky bank but every 15 yds or so there are anglers steps. Every now and again down the steps is a concrete platform. There are holes next to the platform to enable an umbrella......................... but............... when windy ones brolly will take off and float away like a coracle with angler chasing it. Ask Simon! I wish my camera was ready .

Efrosini Village at Katelious, just down the road from Skala is where we stayed the first time - lovely resort!

We'll be further North near Sami and Agia Effimia. I plan to spend a lot of time messing about with a travel rod in Sami harbour. Lovely island.
