Has anyone got any advice on tunnel barn farm, the club pool? know the match last weekend was won on the worm and joker

Hi canal king if your going to fish worm and joker I would fish it on two lines one in the deeper water and one in the shallows feed joker in damp leam and add red joker fix from sensas floats ive used down there are preston pb14 for the shallow water and a blue diamond shape preston classic for the deeper water, when i fished it ifound that you get quite steady patern to your bites and if this slowes down or bites suddenly go iffy dont automaticly refead as ive found that bigger fish move in all i did was put a rig in with a grain of corn on and you usually have straight away and then go back to the worm , you can also catch on maggots over the joker hope this helps

Cheers , that helps a lot. Won`t be fishing the joker this time but may do on our next league match there in jan. Next match is on the canal pool. Did toy with fishing worm and joker but wanted to see how things went without it first, I`ve only fished the venue once before and that was on Bottom pool. The light float approach sounds right up my street so I`ll stick to my strengths and keep your advice in my head

I would start with 4 lines - try and make them all the same depth so you can use the same rig on all of them.... say 6M at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock and then then 13M either side - put a ball of neat joker on each at the start and ping 3-4 maggots on each steadily, just keep rotating your lines - try not to take more than 2 fish off each line at a visit, it will keep you busy but this will keep the fish coming steady and don't get too greedy trying to catch too many off one line. Have a depth rig and a 2/3 depth rig... light rigs and maggot. Let us know how you get on.

Sounds good to me. over-fishing a specific line does definitely kill it off, i`ve learned that from my canal days. like you said, a couple from one line, a couple from another line. it keeps you busy and makes you think. I`ll keep you informed, no doubt sumo,curtains and leigh66 will too as they`ll all be there too

Hi simon i agree wiyh your aproach on some venues but not on a venue like tunnel barn there are that many fish in the venue you gain no advantage by spliting the shoal up this is exactly the same as when we fish the canals down here with worm and joker all the positive anglers feeding only one or two lines come back with the results ive seen 15pound of roach come from one line , as for feeding raw joker the venue has huge amounts of small roach in it and you wil only atract them to your peg not good when you are trying to catch f1s

Hello mate. Yeah as long as I catch more than you two then things will be good.

I fished worm and joker on new 13 on sat, and got beat to my left by pellet.
I had too many 1/2 ounce roach, i kept thinking they would soon be fed off, but they were there all match, i only had 10lb at the death. (8 carp) Pellet would of caught a lot more, 6 micros each put, with a 4mm expander or soft pellet on the hook.
I had fished worm the week before on house, and drew Pete Rice next peg, and Doubled his weight, so i was confident in it, now i am not so sure, and will be fishing two lines next week, one of each bait.
