MATTHEW POWELL REPORT :

Sorry it's a bit late boys but this is what happened on Sunday ☺️
Drew 171 on the canal and didn't really no what to expect as that part of the canal can throw up some tench and skimmers but they only shown on the end two pegs :/ anyway,
I've fish two lines down the far shelf with squat over GB :)
Started off in the fish hour alternating between these two lines and put 46 fish in the net, until it dried up so I put another ball on each and went on my worm and caster line right across with no bites


Luckily I had a track line with worm and caster but that only produced three small perch so went back down the far shelf and I've had about 18 fish between the two lines for 2lb 3oz 6grms, which was second in my 7 men,
Fed too much down the far shelf :/ lesson learnt can't wait for the next time I'm on it 👍🏻

2016 - GREENHILL ANGLING CLUB sponsored by Midlands Angling Supplies - Ashpole , Cosby 15th May

Had not been out pole fishing since the WAC match on the GUC Glen Parva for the Ivan Marks memorial match . Decided to meet up with MAS anglers John Kilby and Andy Porter for a mornings fishing. The morning was cold which has been fairly typical in recent weeks however the sun was promised and it did deliver. The late afternoon brought more cloud cover and the fishing was better.

Peg 26 was my choice as i have experienced some great weights on a 100b from the peg before.








Sunday lunch for the fishes











I started to catch small roach/rudd from the off and loads of Perch but the constant changing sun in and out kept the fish wanting to not feed.



The days finest fish amounted to 4 Chub and 5 Tench which amounted to about 20lb+ with the silvers it got close to 25lb. Not a brilliant catch by Ashpole standards but its getting there , we just need consistent warm weather .



Two chublettes




 Tinca tincas


 The big one must have been close to 5lb


Quality Roach to 1lb










Caught at all depths to amass a reasonable weight .......it can only get better !
