Match Fishing catches up with MAP-backed star Tony Curd for a lesson in tackling the sometimes avoided, but fish-filled areas of a swim – the silt traps. We have all been there – that fizzing cauldron of wasted match time and effort trying to catch from what can only be described as a Jacuzzi, which gives the illusion of being black with fish but often delivers so little. As our commercial fisheries mature all of them have areas in each lake where silt settles; whether it is in open water or down the track on a snake-style lake it’s a common area that many avoid due to foul hooking, the Jacuzzi effect or just simply because you cannot catch despite the deceiving signs of fish present. Up until recently I joined this train of thought and almost wrote it off as a bad job, only utilising these areas as a shallow line during the warmer months.

On Saturday, it was second and final day of our venture to Alders Farm Fishery and this time it was on The Match Lake "Ash". After speaking to Trevor Price, the Fishery manager and local expert, he informed me that the fishing would be alot better than the previous day, he wasn't wrong! The Open Match was sponsored by Marukyu with lots of prizes, for the winners. At the draw I drew peg 7, with the wind blowing the other end of the lake and lots of carp spawning, I started the match negative, just in case the fishing was hard. After catching a few on the long pole shallow early the previous day, I started on this line again, 6mm Marukyu Focus Pellet flavoured with Scopex Amino on the hook, pinging 6mm fishery pellets again flavoured with Amino Scopex.

With temperatures leading up to the match during the week before sky rocketing to over 30°C, the resident carp were uninterested in anglers baits and were, instead, making the most of the weather fully focused on spawning. Unfortunately, sport on the day as a result, was very hard with weights recorded on the day only going to emphasise this. Most anglers resorted to pellet waggler tactics to catch odd fish with a relatively low weight winning the day.

Once again, the venue attracted the maximum number of anglers, with some truly phenomenal sport being enjoyed from all over the complex with a total of thirty three (33) weights over one hundred pounds being offered to the scales. Conditions on the day were pleasant with plenty of sunshine seeing a continuation of a great spell of weather. Anglers targeted the resident carp mainly with pellet waggler or shallow on the pole with some big edge fish being caught late on. Making his way through to his fourth Mega Match This final was Maver's own, Simon Skelton.

We caught up with Wayne Swinscoe at Meadowlands Fishery for a lesson in catching winning weights of silvers on deep venues. MF: What’s the difference between tackling large and deep venues like this one here at Meadowlands, compared to your average 5ft to 6ft deep commercial pond? WAYNE SWINSCOE: I think the main thing is the fact that you are much more exposed to the elements on venues like this. Larger bodies of water are affected much more by the wind. That means they can really tow at times.

Digital Subscription–Print Subscription Pellet Masterclass Finding fish in winter can be difficult, catching them even more so. One angler who can most others can't is Mark Pollard, and he has a simpleapproach to help put more fish in your nets this winter It may sound obviousbut in winter finding the fish is the secret to success. The mistake I see a lot of anglers make though is not approaching a swim with an open mind" Punching With Perch River master Joe Oakes visits the River Soar to demonstrate how to put together a match-winning weight of perch. Perch are abundant in natural venues and regularly take part in the weighing-in ceremony, sometimes in the starring role or maybe a bit part in a well-rehearsed silvers’ onslaught, but on some days they can be the saviour of a very difficult day.
