[Graham Whatmore]

It is illegal to fish two rods at the same time but how do you work out Graham was fishing two rods? One was a marker float which he removed before he started fishing.

 

[Morespiders]

He was being devious anyway, he told me on the way down, sweetcorn wasnt allowed, so he said give me it, I will eat it instead of it going to waste.

Can't be trusted

 

[GrahamM]

Shrek only fly fishes so what do you expect?

And Spiders is Spiders, nuff said

 

[Morespiders]

Always got an answer hav'nt you!!, and those 25mm boiles you told me to fish with were crap

I didn't ignore it I just never expected it to get any stronger than it did when we started. More fool me/forum/smilies/confused_smiley.gif

I won't mention the peanuts you used then, and the two hooks, which you used even though I told you they were banned.

And that's a FACT/forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif

I knew about the two hooks plan....which is why I bet the house on a Spiders win!

(He made me swear not to tell...or he'd publish the video of me fly-casting at Press Manor...he's been offered a lot of money for it by some bald bloke called Hill)

Fortunately I came across a little red headed pixie called Hazel who had a property she wanted shot of quick.

Poshers M.P.

 

[Dicky (Angling Trust PAC)]

I took my marker rod with a view to doing exactly the same as Graham, but changed my mind at the last and clipped off two rods to the same distance before even looking at the peg.

I caught fish because it was easier to be accurate but if I had stuck with plan A, I am sure I would have done better.

I used maize for hookbait because it's more durable, but equally it's not as brightly coloured as corn and I do find bright baits at their best in early summer.

Clattercote is an ever unfolding puzzle... and a great laugh to boot!

I have no worries using method feeders with a good sticky mix of Vitalin or pellets for carp and barbel, it's when it's just groundbait on those little flat feeders I worry it's all clouded off on the way down.

I did consider a small pellet on the method approach after seeing it in some magazines but decided against it being as the method masters of Clattercote /forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif always use groundbait.

Maybe I'll give it a go next year.

 

[Paul H]

16th with 1oz!

One roach with a boggly eye caught from under the tree next to my peg /forum/smilies/nerd_smiley.gif

 

[Morespiders]

Ohhh ,I would of loved a bogglie eyed roach

 

[Paul H]

You should have said something, I'd have kept him in my flask for you.

I vaguely remember in the dim and distant past, reading and article in Anglers Mail, when Dave Whatshisname was practising on the cut for a match and used his pole to ship out his waggler set up on a rod (with the bale arm open) so he could fish VERY tight into the far bank. He said at the time that if he did this in the match he would be disqualified.

I would have thought what Mr "cast like a woman" Marsden did would have been akin to the same thing.

"Mr "cast like a woman" Marsden"

[Cakey]
