Text of the page (random words):
e of meat on the hook and the float never moved it wasn t looking good so i fed some maggot and hemp down there and went back out in the open water but it was lifeless i had been feeding a few maggots close in on both sides but no bites there either elsewhere matt taynton had snared a carp on the waggler with maggot and will had landed one but lost a couple of big fish at the net i did offer some kind words of sympathy to make him feel better as he looked a bit despondent back under the tree but with a couple of stunned maggots on the hook and the float went under but that battle was short lived as i got in a bit of trauma trying to break my pole down and everything went tits up and the fish was lost to rectify this problem i moved my roller further along the bank so that i could ship back without breaking down and this proved to be a good move as i managed to get the next four fish out of the jungle without drama although one of them beat me up under the platform another try out in open water resulted in a repeat performance from earlier and another lost carp so back under the tree for the rest of the match which wasn t long as will shouted the all out at 3 which was a bit odd as we were fishing til 4 but he hadn t altered the clock on his phone i managed another carp from under the tree in the last hour and my 4 carp and 2oz of silvers were enough to win on a very difficult day it turned out that the whole of the venue had fished hard the match on campbell was won with 17lb and cary was won with 33lbs i think full result steve burgess 73 30 5 matt taynton 71 26 3 keith ray 57 21 14 mark radford 66 19 11 steve o toole 56 11 7 derek lucas 59 9 1 will lee waller 53 70 8 8 ron hardiman 69 7 11 john bradford 62 7 8 and 2 dnw s silvers lee waller 70 8 8 john bradford 62 7 8 ironically while we were fishing liverpool managed to beat watford 6 1 which was a similar score to the carp v will match in peg 53 but i won t go on about it as it can happen to the best of us this sunday i am back at shiplate for team radford in the shiplate teams of 3 the psv b team alan healey left hook lionel matt taynton are up near the top and comfortably ahead of us but i will be on the main lake so a from matt culpin should be a certainty and one from alan will see me happy and finally psv are fishing with the regulars at acorn tomorrow so if anyone needs advice on robbing pensioners give tony rixon a ring x posted by bristol psv at 20 23 0 comments wednesday 2 november 2016 club news update t hanks to all who attended yesterday s meeting please note that all christmas match money needs to be paid at or before the december meeting tues 6th after that date the list will be closed so that we can organise the correct number of prizes no exceptions also as there won t be a january meeting will will be taking bookings for january s matches starting with sedges on 15th jan additionally our wonderful chairman treasurer mike wilson after many years of sterling work behind the scenes managing the club has decided after much thought to retire from duties as of next year s agm again so in the meantime if anyone fancies giving it a go feel free to volunteer and i would like to add on behalf of all the psv membership a big thanks to mike for all his hard work posted by bristol psv at 20 19 1 comments thursday 6 october 2016 shiplate main lake 02 october 2016 o nce the early morning mist had cleared we were treated to a last taste of summer not the best of conditions for fishing but i wasn t complaining as i doubt there will be many more t shirt days for a few months so i was happy to make the most of it and give the lucky legs thanks bela a final airing this was my second consecutive trip to shiplate as i have been roped into their teams of 3 series supporting ryan and mark radford last sunday i was on hawthorns 8 and did ok with 50lbs or so which put me around mid section but mark let the side down and we didn t do too well the b team consisting of alan healey matt taynton and lionel legge did a little better coming joint first on the day but beaten on weight saying that though it was hardly surprising having drawn 3 end pegs anyway back to today then and as ever the day started with breakfast at lilypool which came with a healthy tirade of abuse from just about everyone in there but mostly from a certain local celebrity who used to win a lot before trigger came good so now earns a meagre living from robbing pensioners at the acorn cost cutters down at the fishery more abuse but only nine of us fishing today as matt williams had shyed off to go see bridget jones at the cinema apparently the cinema round his way only shows chick flicks on sundays and it s a big thing for him brian shanks couldn t afford to go as ron wasn t booked in and somebody else had a pretty lame excuse but i ve forgotten draw done and lo and behold alan healey draws peg 15 and adam caswell draws 1 so that was the two fliers gone and i grabbed the last ticket which put me on 14 not the worst actually not bad at all but it meant i would have to listen to alan i ve only brought a tip rod and adam all day i had for once done a bit of preparation on saturday night which was good so i set up 4 top kits a margin rig for the bush on the left a shallow pellet rig and two rigs for on the deck at 13m one for skimmers and the other to take a banded pellet also a pellet wag which i wasn t putting much faith in as it was a bit bright and calm and a straight lead as i had bought a new 10 lead rod and wanted to christen it bait 6 s and 8 s micros and a pint of dead reds for the skimmers and down the edge and some for alan as they don t sell maggots round his way for company but all out of sight i had former silvers slayer lee waller on 13 lee williams on 11 also slaying silvers and the gimp on 9 no doubt slaying silvers i shouted the all in at 10 15 and potted a small ball of micros mags at 13m and fired out a few 8 s as far as they d go whilst listening to alan and adam debating where the boundaries of their respective pegs were and to be fair to adam he s pretty good at casting round corners please note that at this point self confessed venue expert alan only brought a tip rod healey was still pretty smug after drawing the best peg on the lake out on the skimmer rig with 2 dead reds on the hook and i started catching small 3 4oz skimmers straight away but i stuck with it in the hope that their bigger relatives would move in they didn t though and they weren t liking my 10 12 elastic very much so i swapped over to a lighter elastic and that change brought about my first carp which wasn t very big thankfully and came in without too much drama meanwhile the silvers slayer next door wasn t doing much slaying adam had landed a couple of carp from around the corner of his peg and alan was entertaining the ducks and muttering something about they re not always there to add to his cheer i hooked and landed a double on the maggot rig but it churned the peg up so i re fed it and had a go with the lead rod that only produced a few liners and knocks from small fish so i gave the pellet wag a go and as expected that never produced either despite the fact that i could see fish coming to the feed it seemed as though they were attracted to the noise of the pellets but weren t interested in feeding but just as i was about to knock it on the head i hooked a fish that came in like a wet sack and turned out to be a 12lb grass carp weighed and returned after showing alan what a 12lb fish looks like i gave the wag rod a miss and had a go with slapping a shallow rig around as there were a few fish cruising around on the pole line and that produced one small ish carp but it knackered the rig in the landing net so i spent another hour playing around with the mini skimmers in the hope of catching a decent weight of skimmers but it wasn t going to happen with fish of that size so i dumped a pot of pellet on the skimmer line and it started fizzing straight away by now we were into the last hour and the silvers slayer had stopped whining and started slaying pete uzzell had finally lost the lump he d snared on a silvers rig and been playing since 11 o clock chris szakacs had lost a 20lb fish at the net lee williams had started his blog and was writing about how he d have won the match twice over if he had have fished for carp and alan had eventually managed to get a few in his net i had managed a couple more carp on the ex skimmer line and then with 30 minutes to go i hooked a proper one that took me the rest of the match to land alan was first to weigh and his tip rod only approach had let him down badly 42lbs 6oz my 8lbs of mini skimmers pushed my total to 71 9 which secures my place in next years winners final adam took 2nd position with 57 7 and mark radford claimed 3rd place with 49 0 lee waller s late run of decent skimmers paid off securing the silvers pool with 15 12 mostly caught on worm in the last hour full result 1 steve burgess 14 71 9 2 adam caswell 1 57 7 3 mark radford 5 49 0 4 chris szakacs 7 47 15 5 lee williams 11 45 8 6 alan healey 15 42 6 7 pete uzzell 3 22 9 8 lee waller 13 15 12 9 john bradford 9 11 15 silvers 1 lee waller 15 12 so not a bad result for me and also a few lessons learned in advance of next sunday when i ll be back on the same lake wear shorts draw some good pegs and take more than just a tip rod posted by bristol psv at 02 44 0 comments monday 5 september 2016 stafford moor bank holiday weekender t his was the second year of this little outing arranged by silvers slayer lee waller and frodo dearlove i missed out last year due to being in mallorca so i was well up for it this year frodo had come up with a clever system of points payouts which paid out a section winner and a silvers section winner on a daily basis and overall top 3 and silvers for the series a little bit complicated but nowhere near as complicated as lee williams carp silvers combination series sorry lee oak lake friday 26 august oak lake is the newest match lake at stafford and was formerly a stock pond the main quarry are small carp up to 2lbs with odd bigger fish and plenty of skimmers crucians and small tench etc we were told to expect around 100lbs to win it and 70 would be a good weight so plenty of bites to be expected i drew peg 5 which looked nice as it was stuck out into the lake on a small spit and i was told it was a consistent peg ok a flyer that s my inconspicuous net in the picture for company today i had match organiser frodo dearlove to my left and one half of psv s new dynamic duo luke pester to my right neither though were in my section as my peg was in a separate section along with the corner and end pegs due mainly to lack of preparation and suitable rigs i opted for a simple approach pellet shallow out in front and corn down the edges plumbing up the margins were around a foot to 18 inches deep but i found a deeper area to my left which seemed inviting even if it meant setting up an extra rig frodo liked it too and set up about a foot away despite having an empty peg to his left but i m all for sharing and watching 2 floats is double the excitement most others had elected to fish on the deck further out which was a bit of a concern but never mind i won t go into too much detail i had a few shallow i never bothered with a deep rig and i caught reasonably well from my margins in the last few hours frodo enjoyed himself catching from most areas including the empty peg to his left and my peg luke had a very barren 4 hours before he dumped a load of pellet out long and fished paste over it for the last 2 hours he had one a chuck it was a pleasure to behold honest i ended up being teriyaki d which for the uneducated means lightly battered both sides i weighed 65 7 luke had 66 9 and frodo won his section with 67 15 the match was won by luke s other half keith bilder with 97 11 from corner peg 12 followed by mike wilson below with 93 6 from peg 9 also a corner which put me third in that section so not a great start points wise but an enjoyable days fishing nonetheless and i had a clean sweep of pound coins from pete and steve sledgehammer sewell helped by the fact they were both fishing for silvers the silvers was won by pete uzzell and didn t we know it with 16 4 from the other side of frodo s empty peg did i mention that will had an empty peg next to him tanners saturday 27 august at this point it might be worth mentioning that most of us were staying at the duke of york in some remote outpost about 10 minutes drive from the fishery and that they were hosting a beer festival over the bank holiday weekend along with live music barbeque etc and that some of us decided to make the most of the facilities on offer i went to bed early a few didn t anyways i drew peg 35 which is another good peg long walk 34 35 and 36 are very close together and the pegs are offset to the right presumably to make it easier to ship poles back as the speci carp lake is directly behind no pole for me today as i would be fishing the pellet wag lead with the assistance of a bit of breeze that was coming from behind and slightly left i was to be sharing this bit of water with keith bilder on 34 and pete uzzell was on 36 which is generally considered the best peg on the lake but pete was suffering slightly see note above the sections were a bit wierd again today i was in with pete frodo on 3 lionel left hook legge on 9 and keith ray on 13 so yes frodo had plenty of space the match started frustratingly for both myself and keith lots of missed bites and lost foulers with the odd fish landed on both lead and wag it never started at all for pete keith s other half luke had a decent start over in the far corner peg 1 but it wasn t to last keith had a midway change of tactics and switched to paste which produced some big fish and he was by now well clear of me i was having a bit of trouble with the wag so i took it off and employed the services of super wag an 8gr foot long bodied effort which pete found highly amusing despite the fact that it went under about 95 more often than his tip moved i ended the day with a fairly poor 53 13 but that wasn t quite as poor as pete s 18 5 the match was won by keith next door with 104 15 but luckily no chance of being chip shopped today silvers went to a very happy matt williams with 23 10 from peg 30 who was probably still laughing at his mate pete s dismal effort second place went to chris too smooth szakacs with 103 2 from peg 18 unfortunately chris was too smooth to get off his box and get another net out so the 10lb of skimmers he chucked back proved costly woodpecker sunday 28 august everybody got together at the duke of york to celebrate lee waller s birthday the celebrations weren t quite as intense as friday night s but at least i stayed up until nearly 11 and i even dressed up for the occasion this time round i drew peg 8 a very long chuck to the island but the margins looked inviting and a...
