2026 - AUGUST 29TH+30TH - BORÅS

Since my accident and feeling better to get out and fish matches i decided to fish the Litzell-Family invitation match somewhere past Jönköping on the way to Borås !?

I travelled Friday night and went straight to my lodgings . Saturday morning it only took 10 minutes to this exclusive private venue


Litzell Family a credit to Swedish fishing




Henrik and Ludvig showed me around the venue , this is Peg 5 and guess what , i drew it !





Great friend Per-Erik and for first time to meet Sandor from Denmark. Also nice to see Charles and Clas again as not seen them for a few years.




Gathering for the draw



My office for the day





Peg 5 ...... i was advised to fish 11m out plus margins and possible 'long-line' to the pads



It started well as i had three carp in first 30 minutes and lost one on the paste. The wind came and spoilt presentation so i decided on starting a 3+2 then a 2+2 on paste which yielded a further 10 carp however there were long blank spells in the ever increasing rain. I probably missed several bites and lost just the two fish . I located no fish in margins or even the long line to the Pads.

I fished MATRIX Margin , Paste and F1 floats on mostly 0.18 MATRIX line to GURU S MWG Barbless size 12 and 14's barbless.

Used my new MATRIX XTR500 with 5 top 2's using MATRIX 10-12 , 12-14 , 14-16's elastic.

Bait was SONUBAITS MUSSEL for the paste and SONUBAITS Feed 2mm pellets in a flavour (shhhh)

Enjoyed the fishing as it was my first time on a Swedish Carp venue and i had not fished paste for years since being on English commercials.


Weigh in time and young Ludvig the No1 on the day from peg 1



Per-Erik also good weight from the right hand pool




Good friend Rikard with a few 







I think Joakim was first to catch within 5 minutes of the match start with this big-one



Sandor from Denmark only fished method all day and had a commendable catch 



Emil also started with a big carp but like most on the left hand pool it was tough at times




Henrik with a few



Jonathan with a 2nd place weight also on the right hand pool 



Huge thank you to Henrik and Ludvig for helping carry my gear back as my left knee is not good . After the match as i started to walk back with my hands full of gear to the car and my left knee just gave away and i fell to the ground on my left shoulder !!! .....i managed to get up but clearly my left knee is not right. When i got back to the hotel i noticed the swelling was up . 

Sunday morning and my knee is not the best of condition and its uncomfortable when i walk as i cannot get the knee joint moving as normal . I decided to contact Henrik and inform him i shall go home. Tomorrow i must make an appointment to have the knee looked at as i want to get fixed before going to Gotland.






Sunday result and final aggregate :
