2011 - Sodertalje kanal and a practice day with Mats

Met with fellow MAU man , Mats down at the Sodertalje kanal opposite the Astra Zenica. We were both looking for some good catches of roach and bream and both of us wanted to fish Bolo and slider plus whip and pole.






Mats was into the Mondial mix of Kanal Gardon and grilled hemp

This year all MAU members are taking pictures of our Groundbait mixes for future record.



I was setting up my slider rig on the trusty 14' Carbon active rod using a Dino 8+2gram slider.

My bait for the day : Left over maggots from Norrkoping with hemp from Mats plus pellets 2 and 4 mm (SONU). Had worms also ready for the bream to show.



I had 2 mixes today ; 1st was the sider mix which consisted of MONDIAL SUPERMIX GROS GARDONS - 2KILO with a bag of MONDIAL KANAL BLACK - 1KILO plus TRAPPER BLACK RIVER LEAM - I KILO.
2nd mix was GEERS GAMMA FEEDER MIX - 0.5 KILO with MONDIAL KANAL BLACK - 1 KILO with half a bag of TRAPPER PIDGEON SHIT for the whip and pole line.




Mats stopped for 4 hours and had 3.65 kilos after a very slow start in both our pegs. Mats had quite a few good roach on the Bolo but scored better on the 6m whip later. ( See Mats Blogg for full report).
I stayed 2 hours longer and eventually caught alot better at only 5m at about 2 metres deep using a MILO TEXIER 2gram to a 0.13 bottom and a TUBERTINI 1T Series size 15.

Had over a 100 roach and estimate a weight of 7 kilos plus. The fishing just got better and better later as the wind ceased and presentation got better.

My slider rig for the earlier part of the day and i only took 6 fish in the first hour on the slider.

2011 - June 11th Norrkoping a small match amongst friends

6 of us got together for a 5 hour bash on the prolific Norrkoping venue . We were all hopeful of big weights considering that most waters had seen the bream complete their breeding cycle and now the yare expected to feed !? ......but did they ?
Start of the match and it was 10 minutes of pre-bait time ....some feeder and some pole line.



Stefan to my left on peg24 firing a few balls out for the feeder line.



Christer to my right on peg26 also firing a few balls out.










End of the match and Kristian Wallin on peg 21 first to weigh with 20 kilos

On peg 22 was Jenny (Kristians lady) ,she is a a top Swedish ladies angler (The Emma Pickering of Sweden)



Jenny had a respectable 12 kilos





Kent Adell  on peg 23 starts his weigh in ....it took 3 weigh ins and the venue master took the best weight with 32 kilos .



Pick of the catch



Kent broke his 11m joint on his brand new Garbolino top of the range pole , the previous week his 13m joint broke  !.....unheard of 2 'base' joints breaking ?.....its normally no4's that go first ?








Stefan to my left on peg 24 eased past me in the last 2 hours with 24 kilos

Pick of his catch




Christer to my right on peg 26 had a quiet time for 9 kilos. The previous match here over 2 days had followed form today with the fishing poor too my right . My peg25 (3 times in 3 macthes i drew this ) fishing really well at the start then fading !!

IT WAS STILL A GREAT MATCH ON A GREAT VENUE AND EVEN THOUGH THE VENUE HAS NOT PRODUCED THE 70-110 KILO WEIGHTS LIKE 3 - 5 YEARS AGO ITS ALWAYS A VENUE TO RETURN TO PLUS IT WAS GREAT COMPANY ON THE DAY !

BIG THANKS TO LASSE FOR SUPPLYING THE BAIT ON THE DAY VIA KRISTIAN AND JENNY.
BIG THANKS TO JOCKE PALMER FOR SUPPLYING ME WITH MY GEAR VIA KRISTIAN AND JENNY.
