Hi Shaun, I know you from fishing with fazely. Well ive been up tunnel barn a bit and bronze maggots sprayed with scopex is good, fish two lines about 4 metres out shallow. Also expander pellet and there feed pellets works well. Its stuffed with f1s and you will do well there. In the winter bloodworm and joker works well and swapping to sweetcorn when the f1s move in. You can also speak to pete rich in the shop if you are down there he is very helpfull. Not sure about heronbrook as ive only fished it once

hi monty thanks for your reply. sorry but whats your name?

thanks thats what i wanted to no, now that i know the fish are f1s i can base my approach for them. whats the chance of hooking a lump? and what size are they?

Hi mate, im Rob taylor i also fish with the winning post with dale and skip. My mate had a 4 lb ghostie out of the canal at tbf last week. I guess there are a few in there but in the summer you have more chance of bagging on the f1s.

hi mate. how you doing? how are dale and skip? whats the winning post fixture list looking like for 2008?

monty3597

We have got matches at riddings, makins lake 2, tunnel barn, barby banks, elmbridge, woodland view, earlswood, boddington, cudmore, holly farm, bonehill, meadowlands, curborough and west lodge lakes. You are welcome to come along if you want as a member or as a guest

Shaun, Don't forget to set-up a small method rig for the pole I've only fished house 1 and almost every time its been won with the method either on rod or pole. Start on the method then switch to your well fed close lines if they fail go back to the method!..

monty3597

ive never fished that method yet, its something i want to try this year, have you have much luck with it

shaunPearce

thanks itsme. what are they using round the method pellets or ground bait. thanks rob sound good. im just going to concentrate on the open scene again this year. how many do you have on an average turn out. its good to hear from you again any way. are you and dale still bagging all the money at the winning post?
