Soderhamn - The Theatre of Breams (and Ide, Big Roach, Perch, Bjorkna, skimmers - forgetting the Bleak). Jesper , Fredrik and Marcus organised this Extra match after the recent high weight competition a few weeks back .
Metmask again supplied the best bait and delivered for the Swedens Best matchmen with a great standard of 'cared for bait ' . Also supplying the best equipment from the producers listed below
Friday night and best restaurant in town entertained us with their culinary delights . (and wines )
This time in Soderhamn we didn't have to call for an ambulance for Russ !!!!
The laughs and camaraderie flowed just like the beer and wine - super good night.
Back at the hotel basement car park and ever dependable Metmask delivered the bait , yet again

Leam filtered - joker powdered
3 whips and 3 top 4's for me
All ready ...... hope so !?
Match started with the usual pre-bait and i placed 5 balls leam/joker on 11m line . Then 3 ground bait balls at 5-7m . I didn't want to put too much in as wanted to build the peg up gradually as it was a 5 hour match .
Within a minute of the start most were catching Perch of size but eventually skimmer , roach and ide showed up . I had after one hour one good bream about 1.5 and two about 800-1000 size then the Ide started to plunder the free offerings of maggot i managed to throw in at 5m in a horrendous wind . I started to take the ide and roach with Perch at 5m hauling them in to hand on 0.18 straight through to a size 10 SENSAS 3065 hook using a three gram float . Most Ide i netted as they are crazy shaking their heads so much even the large roach (up to 1.75lb) were nutters ! .
I had a poor middle hour as the flow changed repeatedly but i finished strong catching another six Big Bream on 5m whip and and pole top 5 . The days wind got really strong close to the end of the match and ironically as the match finished then so di the wind .

No wind but very cold morning greeted all the competitors

EXNER 3gr and 4gr ILIASZ
Sun is getting up and soon to get a little warmer
Another great match however i lost it badly in the 3rd and 4th hour as Bleak moved in and i could not get past them so tried corn but so few fish on it. I persisted fishing at 11m on my Joker/Leam line and caught a nice stamp of 6 Bream backed up with some great skimmers . I could not get enough Ide in my peg to get more back up weights to compliment the Bream catch . But that is fishing but still enjoyed another Big weight day .
