MAGGOTS END

RODS and REELS



This week´s match was an open and was held on the Embalse de Ojos at Blanca.
This venue is not well liked by many people, but I think it is a proper fishing venue
where you do have to work hard for fish. Again though, the venue did not let us down with some blanks.
In saying that, the winning weight was not too shabby.
The day started cold, 6+ degree´s but come midday, people were shedding their fleece´s.
The warmer climes of course brings out the small flies, horrid little things that crawl up your nose
in your eyes and ears. However, enough of the highlights of the day.
The normal good pegs produced, however, the winner did exceptionally well from his peg.
Top places as follows.


1st Terry ( Swing E´m ) Screen fishing the feeder using maggot with 11.220 kilo´s.

2nd Lenny ( Excultural Attachee ) Bolton fishing the pole using paste and pellet with 8.940 kilo´s.

3rd Doug ( Welsh Goldminer ) Hornblow fishing the pole using pellet with 5.980 kilo´s.

PLEASE NOTE

The membership for the club is now closed for this season.

ANGLERS TOGETHER.

Hondon Trucha.

9 Members visited Hondon for an afternoon session, but due to the Trout spawning
 they seemed reluctant to take the fly or bait as readily as usual. 
We managed to catch a few though. 
One consolation was that it was a hot sunny afternoon with no wind making fly fishing a joy. 
Everyone enjoyed the mince pies and coffee and are looking forward to their next visit in 
January or February (but with no mince pies). 
Thanks to Jan for his help in making it a successful afternoon.

 
Anglers Together continues to grow as a club with firm friendships being formed over
 the last 2/3 years.  Many members fish regularly and report they are pleased to rejoin a sport they followed in their youth.  We have the occasional organized outing but the aim mainly is to introduce members to find fishing companions, and to assist in finding the venues.

The joining fee is €10 for new members and €5 for renewing members. 
If you are interested in joining or finding out more about Anglers Together, 
then either come along to one of the meetings or contact Alan below. 

Reminder: No meetings are held in January. Next meetings are February 5th and 6th - further details coming.

Silverfish match only.


Sunday 13th December.
Venue. Watersmeet.
Club. Watersmeet.
Breakfast, and Draw. 8.00am.
Fish. 9.30am - 2.30pm.
8 Anglers fished.


We started the day with Breakfast, in the restaurant of the Watersmeet pub.
The Breakfast cost £5.50, and when you look at the photograph, after the match report,
you will see it was worth every penny.The plates are that big, you could use it, as a platform,
for your tackle box.

Took a few photos today, but had to discard most of them, as they were all blury. The camera is
my spare one,as my best one i dropped in a puddle a few weeks ago.Hopefully i will get a new one
for Christmas.
I have over one thousand people read my blog,and i have only had 22 click's on the Google ads.
So i have earnt £4.50 in two months, not going to buy me a camera at this rate. I have put the Camera on my
Christmas list, but with the recession, i ain't going to hold my breath.So i need to rely on you guys too
click the ad's.


The draw.

Everybody wanted peg 6, as this as won for the last three years on the trot.
You only need an half decent angler on this peg to win the match, so when you get an out, and out silver
fish angler draw it, you know you are fishing for second.
For some reason i did'nt get to draw a number, as i was last on the list, and had what was left.
Can't work that one out, as i was the first to turn up at the Venue. Anyway i had peg 7, one away
from the flyer. Does'nt sound to far away does it. But considering peg 6 is a corner peg on the carpark side.
and peg 7 was half way up the bank, on the far bank, it was a long way away. With the weather being cold,
and frosty these last couple of nights, we thought we were in for an hard day.




The Match.

The all in went at 9-30am. The water was coloured, which was quite a shock for this time of year,so the
liquidised bread, and punch stayed in the bag. Fished the pole at 12.5 metres in 5 foot of water.
My bait was, Groundbait, 50-50 supercup, and secret, red Squatt for feed, and flourescent pinkies for
the hook. Cupped one small ball of Groundbait, and about 20 Squatt's into my swim. Used double pinkie on the hook.
First bite came after only five minutes, and a nice skimmer of about 5oz's was staring at me from the bottom
of my landing net.I don't know who was more suprised, him or me.I decided not to re-feed, and see if there was another fish there. Waited for ten minutes, and nothing, so i re-fed with a handful of Squatts through
the toss pot. Peg 6 was starting to perform, with Barry on the Feeder.I was watching from across the lake as he was landing a decent sized skimmer. Looked back at my float, and it was'nt there, so i lifted to a nice clunk, and my number 4 elastic stretching out. A nice bream for about 2, and a half pound came to the net.
Trevor to my left on peg 8 started to catch as well. As he was setting up, he again fell over, that's three
weeks on the trot now. I suggested, probably to loudly, that we should all chip in, and buy him a zimmer frame.
That was met with a lot of laughter, except from trevor, who for some reason said he was going to throw me in. So being the Gentleman i'am, i went and gave him a hand up.(senial old sod).
But give him is due he got is own back, finishing second overall. Myself, and trevor where the only two on this side of the lake.We had  a big hedge behind us, which was about 4 to 5 feet away from are tackle boxes, a nightmare for pole fishing. The other down side to this hedge, was the Sun was behind it all day, so we were cold, while the anglers on the other bank had it shining on them for most of the match.
My match went quite steady throughout with a few decent skimmers coming to the net.
For this time of year, every one had a good day, with everybody weighing in.
Did peg 6 come through again. Bet your sweet arse it did. Just take a look at the result.
Well done Barry, 38lb-14oz's an exceptional silverfish weight  for this time of year.
(well for are standard anyway).

Watersmeet Pub.
 As its own Website, so if your looking for good fishing, and good food this is the place.
Its private fishing only. For residents who stay at the pub. The owner kindly gives us permission to fish here
once a year, so we fish it this time of year, when there are not many residents.
The watersmeet as 3 lakes. The bigger being the one we fished. It is solid with Skimmers, and bream, it also
as a good head of carp. The second lake is mainly Tench, with a smattering of other species.
The front lake, as i can remember from fishing it years ago, is mainly carp. So there is something for eveyone.
About 3 or 4 miles away is the famous Tirley Court, where the carp crawl up your rods, to introduce themselves.
So if your looking for a week or two's fishing holiday, check out there website.

Well thats it for now, i think its are Christmas match, for Permali next week, Dickie is going to phone me
through the week, to let me know. So when i Know, i will let you know.
Thanks, and a Merry Christmas to you all.
