EDAA Goodiford Mill | 12/05/2012Number of pegs/anglers: 15Report:Fifteen anglers fished an open at Goodiford Mill on Sunday, with a welcome weekend of Sun and low wind forecast it seemed like spring had arrived at last so everyone was looking forward to a good days fishing.
Stan Piecha reflects on the opening round of the Drennan KO Cup. Clint Eastwood portraying Dirty Harry in the cult movie Magnum Force tells his boss: “A good man always has to know his limitations. ” Those words were going through my mind after fishing the opening round of the Drennan KO Cup. The arena for this splendid event was Woodlands View near Droitwich, Worcs, a venue I last fished around 15 years ago.
Top northern angler and Maver backed Matt Pillay reflects on the recent Maver Classic Final at the fantastic Maver Larford Lakes. Well it's that time of year again for the Maver classic final. it's a prestigious event which I've really enjoyed over the years as Larford is a terrific venue and when you get some of the country's top anglers attending it makes for a very special event. After a 3-hour drive (I might as well live on the moon) I got to the draw and managed to catch up with my old pals and patiently wait to draw which I don't mind admitting always gives me butterflies but I love it! The old hairy palm goes in the bucket and I pulled Peg 76 on Speci which is a good area that always holds lots of skimmers and plenty of carp so after a few reconnaissance conversations it came to light my peg had been second on the lake the day before with 36 kilos of carp on the method at 45 turns.
Consistency is something we all strive for as match anglers, everyone can draw a good peg and have the odd good result but getting consistently good results is much more difficult. This has been even more important in my fishing in recent weeks as I’ve been fishing the very popular Westwood Lakes teams of 3. Every year the match is a sell out and this year has been no different. With the weather being unsettled to say the least, the lakes have been fishing quite hard and a bit peggy.
