2014 Sunday 21st September SOAR MASTERS FINAL

         A sunny clear day greeted the competitors after the regular draw at the Anchor Inn . For my troubles i plucked peg 46 and immediately thought okay its just to try and not finish last in an area where to get over 5lb in a match is a rarity . However the sections were a little bigger due to the amount in the final plus you always had a spare peg either side of you but it did draw in other noted pegs so to compete would be hard.
        The peg was the last part of the read beds , it was a wide area with boats opposite but its not the best of pegs but you never know an odd Tench and Big Stripey might pass my way  :)

         I set up 2 feeder rods for a 3/4 chuck. Also 3 pole rigs , one at depth , another just off depth and another to play around with up in the water plus a Perch rig using a Maurizio Reglo 1.25gr to Sensas match line 0.14 with a 14 Sensas hook


                                                                                                MARS Blu at 1.25 gr , 0.75 gr and 0.5 gr.



Also set up 2 whip rigs using SENSAS ALBORELLA 150 RECORD 4.5 and 5.5m

Great experience to be amongst so many fine anglers ……next is the Soar cup followed by the Winter league with some 90 people fishing ……come and join the call to return on the natural venues .

The River Soar is again changing as we see the river covered by thousands of small fish like Gudgeon , Bleak , Roach , Perch , Ruffe , Rudd , skimmers , hybrids , Bream ,Tench , Eels , Carp , Chublettes by the thousands ! In  a few years the catches could be Chub to a 1lb on sticky-mag / waggler , could also see catches of 5-9lb of gudgeon like the old days on the Normanton and Zangari lengths . Could also see 10lb catches of Bleak . The river if left untouched by pollution could realise some staggering weights , that is why i am so excited at the return of so many anglers to the 'Natural-side' . The methods of fishing could see whips to 9m and wagglers and stick floats ……it is so dam exciting , BRING IT ON !!
