Just introduce yourselves here if you are from the midlands and maybe we could organise a few get togethers

[keith]

I will start this off for you then Neil.

My name is Keith, I am 43 and generally fish matches on commercials. I have had reasonable success on a variety of waters, Makins, Rolf's, Alders etc. My highest match weight is 242lb from Rolf's and hopefully will better that in the near future. Although do not get the chance to fish each week due to shift work and family commitments.

I have met Neil, Eric and Royst on a couple of the Jinx Matches organised on Maggot drowning and can look forward to some of the TA matches you may organise.

[Tony]

Hi Keith

Any help on favoured pegs would be great, fished it once and got it totally wrong !!!, drew peg 4 so couldn't see a lot as to what was going on, which pellets do you favour of the ones Rolf sells ?

Regards ... Tony

[keith]

Tony,

Peg 4 is just off the corner on the small lake and there is a bar at around 13m where the depth starts to shallow up. The deepest part of the peg is at around 5 to 6m and plenty of fish are caught here. However if it is warm/hot then the longer line.

Pellet wise I go for either the squid/liver mixed with the chocolate/orange both 6mm as they make more noise when hitting the water. 4 bags will cover the match.

I always start off at distance and heavily feed a closer line on any peg, If i am catching long then will continue but if i do not have a bite for 10mins then will switch to the nearer line. Hopefully they will be there in numbers. Also worth trying is a margin swim just down the shelf.

[Tony]

Cheers Keith
