Ive a morning match on the Arena pool this sunday, ive never fished the place before and any tips would be great. I didnt watch fisho either so im stuck., chees in advance

Monty... looked from the fisho that what you wanted was chop and caster. Fish at 13M+ and keep potting small amounts of chop and caster in a little crumb...

Also fish down the edge with chop and caster.

You could also try a small method feeder to the island.

Cheers Simon, thanks for the info. Im looking forward to fishing it. Its a big match for us we are fishing for 25 quid not 25 k lol

Well the best advice I can give you is to keep working your bait and lifting and dropping + dragging slowly side to side... dont go mad feeding too much, just feel your way into it and see how the fish respond.

how did you get on

I came third with 35-3-0 second was 35-10-0 and 40-0 won it, had a two pound chub jump out of my landing net lol which cost me second. fiished method to the island and chop worm at 13 metres, it was so windy it was really hard. Enjoyed the day though and its a cracking venue. was on peg 21
