Jacko's Birthday
Match Fishing Staff  |  May 17, 2013  |  0 comments
Historic Spring festival celebrates 30th Anniversary.

The event was originally run by venue owners Mike & Josie Bozward, who founded Docklow Pools back in 1972! As Mike reflects on the Docklow website, back in those days the charge for rent in the Farmhouse was just £1 a night!For the last 25 years Dave “Jacko” Jack & Phil Hoad from Essex have taken over the running of the festival,and created quite a following.

James explained: "I drew Peg 55 on Maple Pool, which is a corner peg with a big overhanging tree to fish up to, and although it isn't really a noted peg, it is one that can hold a lot of fish when the wind is right! Fortunately, today was one of those days, and I managed to catch the odd fish all the way through the match. I alternated between fishing shallow on the pole, and throwing a small Method feeder to keep fish coming right through the day.
