2023 - November 11th Sodertalje canal - small match amongst friends

Sodertalje canal Slider/feeder match organised by Mats Larsson and just the five decided to join the meeting but they are all of the finest anglers ( myself excluded )😂

Mats proceeded to place 5 of the pegs that actually have been used a lot this year by myself and locals. 






Important for me and my fellow countrymen and all the allies of the world is ...........






Peg 1 is Tom Ostland (Just sorting his distances near his car)



Peg 2 Mats Larsson (organiser of the day's event )



Peg 3 is myself (Looking good but will i do well ?)




Peg 4 is HÃ¥kan (Great to have a top feeder guy on the event )




Peg 5 is Borko ( Very well liked and respected Serbian guy ) 



The guys conferring before the start 




What a lovely day - hope the fishing is just as good ?



Mats and Tom to my left doing rather well



Hakan and Borko doing equally well







Borko hardly caught in first 2 hours then last 2 hours bagged up for 2950



HÃ¥kan the Days winner with 4646




Mats with 2nd place and 3795




TomÖ with 3489 and showing his specimen Bream



Match over it was good to talk with the guys and also the way it fished using feeder gave hope that we could run a 2 day feeder competition there as the venue was okay for parking and a concrete walkway for any trolley movement . However at least 10 pegs would be okay to walk the gear too and the rest have a short walk by trolley (100 metres at most)
Having spoken with HÃ¥kan and TomÖ and Mats then it could be really good to include this fixture in next years planning . 
Further discussion about the 2024 fixtures would be so good to have (maybe a TEAMS meeting ?) so that all fixtures whether it be qualifiers , Opens , DM's, SM'S can be helped to have the best attendance without duplicating on some days where possible thus allowing the Swedish Tackle trade to respond and plan for ? Just my suggestion , let me know your thoughts ?

SLIDER FISHING (at 7-8m deep and 30-35m out) - HELP , thoughts required ????

I had a tangle a few times yet i thought i was casting high with a smooth action and i was never sure if to sink line first with bailarm on then open it and allow the line to go out . OR , just sink the line and allow the float to settle ? Not sure what was best however i did tangle a few times and after the match i found out that Tom and Mats had the occasional trouble. I just wonder if choice of float size could be the problem plus the depth we fished in ? I use EXNER Carbon Magic Slider 16gr (2+14gr) and i know that Tom and Mats had similar . So i wonder why so many tangles as all three of us are quite reasonable slider anglers ? Now i noticed that Mats and Toms weights consisted of a single ball weight with 4 small locking shot just after then a small bulk of dropper shot about a metre later so similar to what i had .But i had double ball weight locked either side by line stops , was that correct ? 









Now some BAD NEWS ...........Litter ! .............😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

This canal is my local and i enjoy the friendship of the local people who pass by and often talk with me so i kind of think it as my stretch of canal and i take pride in its appearance , However, there have been many mornings that i find the local scum have abused the scenery with their litter and today it was the case again...........dam scum people !
