Bilston Angling Centre open- Monday 1st May
HanKat AS waters-Walsall Canal Ocker Hill,Tipton

1st Simon Nickless (Saints) 7-15-8
2nd Ernie Thomas (HanKat) 7-13-0
3rd Bill Davies (Bilston Angling Centre) 6-0-0

Despite torrential overnight rain,which knocked the expected roach sport on the head,the canal still fished reasonably well for small skimmers and rudd,but it was old red eyes that the difference with all the top three including small tench in their mixed nets.
Simon managed to find 4 on caster to go with with his squatt based net of skimmers and rudd to just pip Ernie who also managed 4 but just failed to catch enough small fish..

Still a decent result mate.

What pegs where the framers on Lee?

[woodhouse]

Simon was on 78,
Ernie 69 and bill was on 70.

[gonk]

Simon has done well from that peg. Not the best on the stretch.
I am hoping for a good draw there one day.

[woodhouse]

Its a good draw when the roach dont want to play.


How often do you fish it Gonk?

[gonk]

Not very often because the fishery owner is a miserable git

Have to agree with you there Gonk......


Towpath2...there was only 15 there.....

[gonk]

I also fished a few matches and got lost because the match organiser did not supply any maps to find the venue.
He also gives Jimmy Hines the same peg every week LOL

[woodhouse]

Had the same problems with him myself Gonk....allegedly he is in shares with Jim....thats why he fixes the draw....

What I find amazing on these matches is how the organiser always draws the flyer. Baffles me that does.

[towpath2]

woodhouse, have you ever tried wolves aa matches at cross keys ?

[woodhouse]

Towpath2...i used to fish Bills matches every week,the only reason i stopped fishing them was because Chub started winning every match.
