DAVE'S RESULTS FROM SPAIN.

MAGGOTS END.


RODS AND REELS.

This weeks match was held on the Embalse de Argos, the first time this year
that the club has fished this venue. The match was the 5th in the summer
Championship series. The day was warm (for some of us), and very windy. For
those that know the venue, fishing on the left hand side of the point (the
sunny side) were bathed in sunshine. For those on the over side, the wind
blew a hooley from around 1 o'clock on. In saying that, the best weights came
from this side. Paul Baxter fishing paste was into fish from the off, and if
the wind had not blown up would have doubled his weight.

1ST. PAUL(POCO LOCO)BAXTER. FISHING THE POLE USING PASTE WITH 35.500 KILO'S.

2ND. LENNY(EX CULTURAL ATTACHEE)BOLTON. FISHING THE POLE USING PELLET, AND
PASTE WITH 23.720 KILO'S.

3RD. IAN(IRISH WIZARD)DALZELL. FISHING THE FEEDER USING PELLET WITH 16.400
KILO'S.

DAVE HOARE.

Cheers Dave  thanks for your result. Did'nt do to well yourself then, he he. Never mind
better luck next match mate.
As for myself , Tirley Court tomorrow. Looking forward to this one, as NORMALLY
this place is crammed from wall to wall with Carp. Probably the bloody things won't be in
my swim though, and you all know that will be down to bad luck, and not my fishing skills.
Okay now you have stopped laughing Sunday's match is at Elton Farm. There is a post on
here about this place when we fished it last time in the cold. Six of us fished. Two of us
weighed in ton plus bags, and two of us had no weigh's. ERM! i wonder which category
i fit into out of the ton plus, and the no weigher. I know you all think it was the ton plus
category,but i had bad luck (honest). he he. I will let you all know how i done  after i
have fished both matches, so see you soon.
All the best STEVE.

WATERSMEET 1ST AGGREGATE MATCH.

DATE. 16TH MAY.
VENUE. MYTHE POOL, NEAR TEWEKSBURY.
10 ANGLERS FISHED.

PRE-DRAW.

On the bottom of the last post, I said about 15lb would win this one.
I think i was being a bit optimistic on this one. As a club, we have fished
this place twice before, it was crap then, and it is crap now. Why the
organiser's pick this venue, is beyond me?. The problem with the place was
when they had the big floods in 2007, it took most of the fish with it. The
B.A.A. Who control the place won't re-stock it, just in case of future flooding.
Apparantly there is a big head of Bream in here, plus Carp, and tench. Well
a few odd fish have shown in our last couple of matches, but nothing to shout
about.

TIM PREPARING FOR THE DAY.

Sorry there was not much to read in this post, but if i've got to suffer, and
so have you lot, he he. Well i can sum this match up in one word, but i won't
as its a family blog, he he. Anyway the good news about this weekend, is
England beat Australia in the 20/20 Cricket World Cup, and the team did'nt
even break into a sweat. Well done boys you deserved it. So come on the
Footie team, win the Cup in South Africa.

Well got two matches this weekend. Saturday at Tirley, and the third aggregate
match on Sunday for Permali at Elton Farm. The Tirley match is an open, that
Steve Ford (Daiwa Gordon League) as arranged. Its a 22 pegger, so should be good.
As always i will let you know how i get on later. Who knows i might do okay in
these two matches. YEAH! i know, and pigs can fly. I can read your minds!.he he.
Well as always have a good time on the bank, see ya soon. STEVE.

p.s. If the winner of the £84 million is reading this. Sure! you can become my
best mate, you know i have always liked you. (wink).

p.p.s. Will upload Dave's result later in the week. (unless my new best mate takes
me on holiday of course). he he.

DAVE'S RESULTS FROM SPAIN.

MAGGOTS END.

RODS AND REELS.

This weeks match was the fourth in the summer Championship series. (9 matches with the best
6 results counting). The match was held on Rio Segura at Murcia. The river did'nt fish to its
potential on the day, due to a strong downstream wind, making fishing the pole very difficult.
In saying that all anglers caught. If you remember I lost my top 2 section here a fortnight
ago, and I did want to retrieve it. Stuart from the club, brought on the day a pair of chest
waders, so that after the match I thought I could wade out,and with a rake try to retrieve the
top section. Firstly the waders were a size 8, I take a size 9, and after somehow
managing to get them on with my toes near my ankles, decided to enter the river. The pole
section is some 13 metres out, and after getting out about 6-7 metres, and finding myself
slowly getting deeper in silt, common sense prevailed, and I managed just to get back out.
Don't try this at home. Anyway, the positive from this is do not fish with any heavy weights,
either float or feeder on the bottom as it will always sink into the silt very quickly. The
silt must be 9 inches + thick.

TOP RODS ON THE DAY.

1ST. HAROLD(H)CLARKE FISHING THE POLE USING CORN WITH 22.300 KILO'S.
2ND. LENNY(EX CULTURAL ATTACHEE)BOLTON FISHING THE POLE USING BREAD WITH 21.56 KILO'S.

DAVE HOARE.

Well done Dave for third. Shame you could'nt get your top section back, a photo of you trying would
have been good. he he. Thanks for your results mate,  will hear from you later in the week.

As for myself,  fishing tomorrow at mythe pool, so got to sort out my kit today. That should be fun.
Got to clear out my van, and reorganise everything, as i'm picking up Lewis tomorrow. Thats the
problem when you only have a small van. But can't complain, i know what its like having no transport
for a couple of weeks. I will let you know how i get on later, so for now you all have a good weekends
fishing (except the one's i'm fishing against he he). Keep the rods bent, see you soon STEVE.

PERMALI'S 2ND AGGREGATE MATCH.

DATE. 9TH MAY.
VENUE. RIDGEWAY(WHITE).
DRAW. 9.00AM.
FISH. 10.00AM - 4.00PM.


13 ANGLERS FISHED.


PRE-DRAW.

Yesterday there was an open match fished here, with some 100lb+ bags being caught. Personally i don't
enjoy fishing a place thats been hammered the day before. My biggest weight before from here was 70lb
odd, so a bit of that would do nicely. Mind you that was a few years ago, when the fish were immature.
They have grown well in the last few years thats for sure. When I started fishing this place many moons
ago, there was'nt many rules, but unfortunatley the rules list is now as long as your arm . Would'nt
these commercials be better off just telling you what you can do, instead of what you can't. Save a
fortune on paper, he he. One rule is, you have got to have 6 inches of line minimum between your pole tip,
and float. Whats all that about. Whats the difference if you have 2 inches or 2 foot, ain't going to
stress the fish any different is it?

Nice place to look at though. Its got the lot, cafe, toilets, chalets, bloody long walk if you draw the
far end. What more do you want, he he. Anyway a few lads had a breakfast, and a mug of tea before the
draw. Weather wise it was a tadge cold, wind was a bit blowy. If you drew the nearest to the car park
end, the wind was quite strong, and cold. The water was fairly choppy too. If you were on the far end to
the car park, it was a different world. No wind, and flat calm. I know which end i would like to draw?.
The wind was actually blowing from far end to the car park. So the wind was blowing into the lower pegs.
Good pegs to have if the weathers warm. But it being cold today you would have thought the other end
would be the place to be?.

All this writing above, you lot are probably thinking there excuses, if i have had a bad day. Well! you
would be right, i did have a bad day, and these are excuses. But lets be honest, if we did'nt have
excuses, we would take up a different sport would'nt we.

THE DRAW.

Tell you the truth, i was hoping for a high number, so i could be out of the wind, so when it was my
turn to draw, i stuck my mitt in the bag, and pulled out permanent peg 17. The last peg on the canal,
far end. A dream draw, when you get to this peg its like having your own lake to yourself. You have a
nice chuck to the corner of the island, which leads into the next canal in front of you. You have the
end of the canal to fish up against. You have a nice depth in front of you, and good looking margins.
The entrance to the canal behind me was only about 8 metres away, so i had all this to myself  as well.
You can understand why 100lb+ weights come off this area. To my left on permanent peg 16, was Andy
Salcombe, a very good angler.

PEG 1. DICK LEWIS.
PEG 2. D.MALPAS.
PEG 3. A.DAVIS.
PEG 4. S.BEE.
PEG 5. C.CHANG.
PEG 6. N.WILLIS.
PEG 7. J.TIMMS.
PEG 8. J.WELLINGTON.
PEG 9. S.EVANS.
PEG 10. B.DIX.
PEG 11. R.DAVIS.
PEG 12. A.SALCOMBE.
PEG 13. S.HAWKINS.

THE MATCH.

I set up my pellet feeder to fish to the Island. I set up one paste line at 6 metres,
both margins either side of me, and a pellet line at 11 metres to the end of the canal.
Fed one side of the margins with meat, and the other side with pellet, and corn. Fed
the 11 metre line also with meat. On the whistle i fed the margins by hand. Paste line,
and the 11 metre line with the cup. The plan was to start on the feeder, for the first
hour, see how it went, then going onto the paste line, take a few fish on this line, then
change to the 11 metre line. Alternating between the two lines, until the last two hours.
Then down the margins for the rest of the match. THAT WAS THE PLAN?.

Cast out the pellet feeder to the clip, tight to the Island. Put my rod in the rest, and
looked around to my left. One peg past Andy, and Roy Davis was into a carp straight away.
His gear could'nt have been in the water longer than thirty seconds. I thought that was a
good sign. So while waiting for my tip to shoot round, i heard Andy say something to Roy,
so i looked round, and Roy was into his second Carp already. C'MON CARP!. So Roy had landed
two Carp in about five minutes, and that was that for the next half hour. Then Andy hooked a
Carp on his feeder line, while watching him, my rod shot forward, and it was my turn to play
a Carp. Two minutes later i had a Carp in the net for about three pound. Then everything just
went dead. Maybe just an hour later while i was on the paste line, my float buried, and i
was into my second Carp, which i landed, he was about five pounds. So how it stood Roy had
two fish, Andy had two fish, and I had two fish. That ladies, and Gentlmen was that until
the last hour. The margins did not produce on either side of me. Mind you the one on the
left was destroyed by a poxy Swan, which was up ended, and enjoying all the freebies that
lay there. The last hour saw Roy land a Bream for about five pound, and a couple of small
Carp. Andy landed another three Carp, And myself having two more bites on the pellet line,
lost one, and missed the other. So there you go two poxy fish all day, great or what.
This is the first time in ages that i could not wait for the whistle to go. That is how
depressing it was. Especially after these pegs were sacked up yesterday in the open match.

Not many of us had a good day, with a couple of exceptions of course. Well done Dale for
blitzing the match. Jason's peg springing to life in the last hour to finish a close second.

Well i don't know how to sum this up really. A lot of the Anglers in this club are very good
anglers, and most struggled. Did the open match effect todays result. Well i think so.

Next week i have my first aggregate match for Watersmeet. It is being fished at Mythe pool, near
Tewkesbury. The biggest match weight i have heard of off here for the last couple of years
has'nt been pleasent reading. So probably 15lb will win it. Jesus, really looking forward to
this one. (not). I will let you know how painful this one is next week. Dave's results will be
uploaded sometime in the week. So its bye for now from not an amused angler. Hope you all
had a better weekend than me.

DAVE HOARES FISHING RESULTS.

MAGGOTS END.

RODS AND REELS.

This weeks match was the third in the summer championship series. This being 9 matches,
with the best 6 scores to count. The match was held at the Embalse de Ojos at Blanca.
The venue well noted for not producing big weights, and everybody having to work hard
to catch fish. Bleak are reasonably abundant in all pegs, however the majority of
anglers set their stall out for the big fish. For a change there was no drama on the
day. Only highlight being a young Spanish Lady turned up, and after a brief onr sided
conversation with one of our members (no names) sat a few yards from him as he was the
end peg, and proceeded to start fishing. Our member who had only caught Bleak at this
point watched, and learned as some 20 minutes later she hooked into, and landed a
Barbel. Well was he red faced or what!!!!. After she had gone our man who had thoroughly
noted how she caught the fish, to his credit managed to catch one Barbel, but lost two.

TOP ANGLERS ON THE DAY.

1ST. LENNY(EXCULTURAL ATTACHE)BOLTON. Fishing the feeder, using pellet maggot

DAVE HOARE.

Cheers Dave, joint second, so still in it.' Fair play to you. Any chance of sending
that Spanish bird over, so she can show me how to fish, could do with the help lately.
Plus if she's young,and pretty, i could do with an au pair. Can't see the misses
having a problem with that, can you? he he. Role on Sunday lets have some carp fishing.
After a winter of silverfish fishing it will make a change. There's an open on Ridgway
Saturday, and we fish it on Sunday, gawd i hope it don't affect the fishing that much.
Still its a nice place. You can have a nice Breakfast first, so all won't be lost.
I will let you all know how i do next week, so for now its bye bye.
See you soon STEVE.

PERMALI'S FINAL ROUND WINTERS LEAGUE.

DATE. MAY 2ND.
VENUE. DRUMMONDS DUBB.
DRAW. 9.00AM.
FISH. 10.00AM TO 4.00PM.


PRE-DRAW.

Well its the final round today, the series outcome will be decided
today. Top spot is between Andy Salcombe, and Jason Wellington. They
have been the front runners throughout the series. As for myself, i
was up for the wooden spoon, But considering Nick willis, and Barry
Matthews could'nt make it, the wooden spoon fell to Nick. Well done
Nick he he. So today we had 10 series anglers fishing, with 4 guests
invited to make up the numbers to 14 fishing. The guest anglers were
Dale Malpas (Singapore). Roy Davis, Mark Price, and Charlie Chang.
Why Dickie invited Charlie for, is beyond me, he was one of two who
knackered up the series from the start. But i suppose thats how
forgiving Dickie is. Anyway Charlie turned up paid is £20, and
went back home, with the flu. He's half Chinese, so i suppose it was
the Asian flu, he he. So now it left 13 anglers to fish. Fair play it
was a bit complicated for the draw, as the 4 guests had to be split.
Two in one section, and two in the other. The only good thing is the
draw was done before Charlie turned up, and said he was not fishing.
So there was a draw for the guests to see which section they were in.
Mark, and Roy drawing in section "A". Dale, and Charlie drawing in
section "B".

THE DRAW.

SECTION "A"

PEG 1. B.DIX.
PEG 2. T.REYBOULD.
PEG 3. J.WELLINGTON.
PEG 4. R.DAVIS (GUEST).
PEG 5. A.SALCOMBE.
PEG 6. D.LEWIS.
PEG 7. M.PRICE (GUEST).

SECTION "B"

PEG 8. C.CHANG (GUEST, DID NOT FISH).
PEG 9. S.HAWKINS (ME).
PEG 10. T.WARNER.
PEG 11. S.EVANS.
PEG 12. D.MALPAS (GUEST).
PEG 13. R.BOWD.
PEG 14. S.BEE.

Neither Jason nor Andy were over happy with there draws. The good thing
for the series were, they both drew in the same section, so that meant
it could only come down to points, and not weight. As for myself i could
only fish for some coin on the day, and considering Charlie buggered off
before the start. That meant i had an end peg. With my fishing skills, that
probably does'nt mean much, He he. The overall payouts on the series was
paying the top four, so there was still plenty at stake for the top seven
anglers. For the rest of us it was just about fishing for the match payout.
Which was 1st, and 2nd in the sections, plus a bit of pride.

THE MATCH.

The lake has had plenty of cold rain in the last couple of days, so no one
was expecting great weights. Todays weather seemed not to bad, it was raining
on the drive up here, but during setting up, and the match it never rained at
all. Bloody weather forcasters need shagging, they said it was going to rain
for most of the day, so muggings here forked out 25 quid for a new bloody brolly
yesterday. Well i suppose i've got one, just in case it rains in the future.
Now i don't know about you, but i hate fishing the pole with a brolly up. I
kinda get tangled up with it. Anyway back to today's conditions, the wind was
quite strong coming from the North, so if you were on the road side in
section "A" you had the wind in your face. But if you were on the far bank,
like myself it was coming from behind, and we had a nice hedge behind us, taking
the brunt of it. It was overcast, with a nice ripple on the water, so some fish
should be caught. I set the pole up, to fish at 7 metre's, as i had about 6 foot
of water. A nice depth, and a comfortable distance for the pole. Also set up a
feeder to fish at about 30 metre's.

The whistle for the all in sounded at 10.00am. I fed four balls of Groundbait, and
one cupful of 4mm pellets on the pole line. Then i filled the feeder with Groundbait,
and 4mm pellets, then cast out to the clip. Hook bait was a 4mm ringers expander
pellet, on a size 16's mustad wide gape hook. I waited 5 minutes then recast, i done
this three times before i had my first bite, which pulled the tip all the way around.
One minute later there was a small skimmer in the net. After the first hour i had
only four skimmers, and i was starting to think the pellets were'nt going to work.
But considering i ain't got much to fish for, i decided to stick with the pellet.
I tried the pole line, and had four more quick skimmers, before this line died.
Okay! i thought decision time, so out went eight balls of groundbait, and two pot-
fuls of pellet. It was either going to work, or it was'nt. Good bit of philosophy
that, he, he. Back out on the feeder, i had four more quick skimmers with the biggest
about 14ozs, and this started to slow. Tom on the next peg came up, and asked me how
i was doing, i told him i had about 12 skimmers. He must have thought i was fibbing,
as he said he was really struggling, and this was after two hours. Ten more minutes
went by without another bite, so i thought it was time for the pole. Out went the
pole, not expecting anything, and the float dissappeared, and another skimmer graced
the net. For the next two hours i caught steady catching another seventeen skimmers.
Then the pole line totally died. I had some maggot, and worm with me so i decided
to chop some worm, and pot it out just to see. Went back out on the feeder for half
an hour, without so much as a touch. Tried the pole line again, and put double red
maggot on the hook. My next four fish resulted in three small perch, and one small
roach, and that took about an hour. So i went back out on the feeder for the rest
of the match, and added two more skimmers I finished the match with 32 skimmers,
3 tiny perch, and 1 tiny roach for 14lbs plus. During the match Mark on peg 7, the
flier for most of the series packed up with a couple of hours to go, having no fish.
Dickie struggled on the other flier peg 6, crazy venue or what. This time of year on
this venue, and for the rest of the summer you really don't know where the winners
coming from. Thats what makes this place so good. Okay in the winter you know the
winners going to come from the deeps, but thats winter fishing for you. As for me
i came second in the section, and picked up £35. With Dale Malpas winning for £50.
Why the hell did they lift the Volcano ash threat over Britian for, because if they
did'nt Dale would still be stuck in Singapore, and i would have won the £50. (bitter,
and twisted, or what). Anyway the good news is, as Dale was a guest, that means he's
not in the points, so i did win the section in the series with one point. YEE AH!
lost my virginity at last? he he.

The battle of the big guns came first, and last in the section, so it was quite an
anti climax really. Well done Jason for winning the section. Unlucky Andy for
coming last in the section. Terry finishing third in section, and third overall.
Unlucky Tommy who was in my section blowing out on the last match, and having
fourth place took off him by Brian, who finished second in his section. All in
all it was a good match, with some guys happy, and some guys blowing out. But at
the end of the day thats what fishing is all about.

No one finished on the same points, which i thought is unusual.
But at least no one can blame there overall weight for letting them
down. It was a very good series, and everyone enjoyed it. Dickie as
said he intends to run it next year, and everyone as said they will
fish it. I think Dale, and Roy will fish it next year so we can get
it back to a 14 angler series.

Congratulations to Jason for fishing a superb series, and taking top
spot. Unlucky again Andy, who knows what would have happened if you
would have been in the other section. But as you know mate, thats fishing.

I won't put down the prize money for the top 4, just in case their wives
are reading this, and they ain't told them the truth about how much they've won.
Don't want to get the boys in trouble do we, he he. As for me i finished
10th overall, thats only because the bottom two did'nt fish this match.
Maybe thats got something to do with the laxitives i put in there tea's
last night, he he. So hopefully i can improve next year, and finish in the
top half.(dream on son).

The tables below are just some things i threw in, while doing the results.
Things like peg drawing, anglers weights, anglers points overall. Consistancy
of peg weights, and so on.

Hope the above useless information helps whoever fishes Drummonds Dubb in the future.
You can see what pegs have been the most consistant. So remember in the deeps in the
Winter, and any bloody where in the Summer. Dickie's organising five 20 pegger opens
on here through the Summer, so that should be fun.

Just a few pics of the weigh in.



Some skimmers in the net.



Dale ready  for the weigh in


Dale's weigh going over 16lb.


Some of the gang watching Dale's weigh in.


Richard the weigher


Poor old Tommy, this 6lb bag was'nt enough to
finish fourth overall.

Well thats it for this series, now we got the aggregate matches to look forward too.
Our next aggregate match is Sunday coming at Ridgeway (white) The Cotswold water park,
nr Cirencester. Its all Carp so the 1.7 bottoms, and no4 elastics are out on this one.
I will let you know how it goes next week. Dave Hoares results will be uploaded through
the week, so for now its bye, bye. STEVE.
