Thursdays match was some of the worst conditions the regulars have ever fished in, snow on the ground, sub zero temperatures, biting easterly wind, the water was heavily coloured from melting snow and it was towing hard, yet the big fish still fed.Rob Garland made the best of the conditions to catch some bream and skimmers on a groundbait feeder...
I was really looking forward to this round, Gold Valley at this time of the year can be brilliant bloodworm fishing, and as nobody had used bloodworm and joker on the venue since last winter I decided to go and have a practice with Des on the wednesday before.We fish on the far bank of Syndicate lake, where you can...
The weather yesterday started off cold then turned wet, but it didnt put off the skimmers feeding in the final round of the evening series. The water was coloured and the wet and windy conditions made it difficult conditions for the anglers.Pete Ellis was top on the night with 17lb 10oz of bream and skimmers caught on the groundbait feeder...
Last Saturday was the first round of the Basingstoke Canal Winter League, I always look forward to fishing this league, its well run matches and the fishing is good, last years series I caught between 5 and 11lb in every match, this years league bloodworm and joker is banned which is a bit of a shame as I enjoy fishing...

The last match of the year, on the docks, looked like it was going to be a cracker, conditions were perfect and everyone was expecting to bag up. The colour was spot on, very mild with a gentle breeze yet it fished awefull.Top rod on the night was John Macey with 5lb 2oz of roach and skimmers caught on the...
Thursday evening match was a struggle for most, the anglers may have been full of festive spirit, but the fish certainly wern't. The colour from the recent heavy rain was starting to drop out and the water was a nice 'fishy' colour, there was very little tow or natural movement and the fish didn't seem to be in a feeding...
The annual Docks Xmas match was a sell out, as it always is, and the whole of the docks system was pegged, The anglers were well spread out and it fished ok for the time of the year. The day before the docks was clear and everyone was expecting the liquidised bread feeder to dominate but overnight the docks system...
I cant wait for this weather to sort itself out, this weekends fishing was one of the worst I can remember, with the lakes frozen for most of the week, from an icy blast, followed by a mild spell that caused a rapid thaw and then more rain. The poor fish didnt know what was going on, the Koi in...
