HI Guys,
The latest installment of the pool.
The matches are really popular and we are getting really good turnouts everytime we have one.
On the last 3 matches the total weight record has been broken and it is only a matter of time before the pool individual weight goes,the match yesterday was won with 32lb and a total weight of 162lb odd we only had 8 lads fishing due to work and holidays but we had 5 weights over 20lbs with an average of 20lbs per man, the funny thing is that sport drops off in the middle of the match and then comes on again at the end, if we could sort this out then we would be getting well over 200lbs in a match.
This is our target especially when you consider that we have been to commercial venues and had a lot less than that

.

Our last match on a commercial was 2 weeks ago and the total weight was only 120lbs and I won the match with 43lbs, this was with 15 anglers and it really reinforces what we said at the outset that you know what is happening on your own water whereas on a commercial you get the " should have been here last week it was fishing its head off and you need a ton to win on here and then you find out that you need to have the local method and yes you need a ton but the back up weights are nothing.

I know we have made the right choice deciding to take on our own water and I am now being asked why do we have matches on these other waters as they are not as good as ours.
The good thing is that we now have the choice and we don't have to go when the good venues can fit us in we go when we want to go.
RANT OVER.
Until next time when we could have some interesting news.
