2009 Södertälje canal - Sunday December 6th - Part1

Sodertalje is my home town and about 10 minutes from my appartment we have my favourite place on the canal on the opposite side to the Astra Zenica factory. Today i have invited fellow matchmen Fredrik Andersson and Johan Tikkanen for a days fishing. You will remember Johan from a previous article when he fished the Bolo rod. Fredrik you will have seen on previous Whiteacres articles.

Okay !.....this article contains a little satire as i have used Barnsley Black anglers Alan Scotthorne and Tommy Pickering as equivalents to Stockholms club called Constellation (Constellation Blacks). The anglers from the club are :
Alan Anderthorne formerley known as Fredrik Andersson and Tommy Pikkanen formerley known as Johan Tikkanen.




Our cars parked at the back of us .......its better than fishing a commercial




Start of the day





Fish hitting the surface everywhere







Still a little dark but no problem setting up. I will fish with a 7m Triana FX whip at 4 metres deep using a 2gram Tamas walter thro bodied 2.5 gram float on 0.17 line with 0.12 bottom connected to a VMC 14s longshank thin gauge. My groundbait mix is a little strange as my seasons supply of Sensas groundbaits has expended.
    It was 2kg of Sonu-Baits Green crush with 1kg of Sonu-Baits P competition with third of a bag of Terre le riviere......added some 2mm FIN-perfect pellets and dead maggots.


Typical stamp of roach










Olivette 10cm dropper 10cm dropper then 25cm of bottom line ..........simple







Nice to catch the odd skimmer ......had some of his big cousins in August (see article)








Alan to my left









Tommy to my right ......clowns to the left of me ......sorry ....breaking out into the STEALERS WHEEL SONG. !
