Phil Allton won at Highfield last Sunday: fishing peg 37 on Oak lake on the method feeder, he had 111lb of mainly carp.
Not to be outdone, Graham Carter won his match on Beech lake at Highfield on Thursday. He had 94lb, again mainly carp, from peg 19.
We were having a bit of a tidy up and came across some old hooks that had been found in a long-forgotten drawer here at the shop some months ago, and we though readers of the blog might be interested.
As you can see in the picture, there were quite a few old boxes of hooks, from Edgar Sealey, Mustad and Ayrbro.
Chod ManiaChod rigs have been one of the major developments in carp fishing over the last couple of years, and this week saw a couple of new products arrive.
First off we had Korda’s new Mouth Trap Chod Filament – developed by Korda to be easier to use when tying the rig, and work better when tied, keeping a nice curve and forming the perfect hooking angle.
Round two was again on the Shropshire Union Canal this time at Wardle near Nantwich. The weather for todays round was considerably different to the last match with strong winds blowing down the cut, making the fishing difficult in some sections.
The lads today had plenty of time on their pegs to get ready! Ian drew and brought back only one flier, needless to say it was Andy sat on “another” end peg.
Ian had drawn a peg with some big fish form, this would later come back to haunt him.
