Qualification to the WORLD CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP is what the 11 Teams for this weekends SM competition are looking to win . It is only one team that will go through and Belgium next year is the destination.
My team , TROSA SFK will participate and the team is made up of Jimmy Kungsman , Johan Kindlundh and Matts Larsson with myself . We had two meetings online prior to the weekend to sort out Bait , accomadation , tactics etc ..... My journey started on the Friday and 3.5 hours later i was at the town of the venue.
Constellation SM winners - Belgium bound
Håkan trying to put his fingers up Marcus nostrils 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
On arrival i decided to view my allocated section D and it did look rather ugly brown river water .
The Top step is where we are to fish from as any resemblance of bottom step was not wide and safe enough for any angler plus you would have pole issues . Some pegs did not have the benefit of a smooth faced peg with large concrete blocks in the water hindering a good drop on the keep net , but we will manage .
Eventually we met up at the KAMPOCAMPING site a kilometre from the venue and it was suggested based on Jimmy's recommendations to eat at the 'BEST OF INDIA' restaurant as he had tasted the delights of the eating house earlier in the year.
Saturday morning came fast and we met at the major car park supporting A and B sections .
SATURDAY 27TH - DAY 1
Peg 4 for me and on arrival i could see a keep net gap however the net could not avoid a bottom step so i was hopeful that any fish caught i could guide safely down the net with minimal discomfort to the fish.
My Ground bait mix was ;
My rigs for the day are ;
TOP 5 EXNER DELTA 10gr
TOP 5 EXNER DELTA 8gr
TOP 5 MAURIZIO SCHIEPATTI SIRIO 3gr
SENSAS 4.5 and 6.0m whips using EXNER FRIDA 0.75gr and 1.5gr
I started by placing 10 balls laced with 0.25 ltr Joker / Dead maggot / Chop worm . Match started and for at least 30 minutes the pole and feeder were used by the whole match length and nothing was caught so many were on short whips chasing the Bleak . It was about half way in the match that on peg 7 Fredrik Blom had a Bream .Then the match changes as almost everyone went out on the pole to try for them and it was not long before i had my first Bream on Peg 4 quickly followed by another. I decided to feed mini-balls of chop every 15 minutes and another three Bream came but also Fredrik had three and by the end of the match i think i knew he had beaten me as he had two slightly larger fish than me .
PEG 1 - Thomas Soderlund - Constellation 1485
Peg 2 - Jan Svensson - BSMK 1580
HAIL ! .........KING CHARLES
Peg 3 - Charles 'Kung' Fasth - Lidköping 5430 (all on the whip)
Magnificent angler and a gentleman and what a whip fisherman he is , he is a 'machine' !
Great catch from the D section winner
Peg 9 - Jorgen Storm - FK Match 2020
After the first day Lidköping had an incredible score of just 13 points with SWEA on 15 points and Tibro with 17 points . Constellation were holding 4th with 21points and SPLASH were back in 7th place with 27 points . Can Constellation and SPLASH pull it back ?????
Look at Andreas Sandberg for SPLASH , last in section ! , it must have been bad fishing where he was , what will he do on Sunday ???
SUNDAY 26TH - DAY 2
The all in was declared after the initial feed time of ten minutes . I decided to pot in 7 balls of gb/leam/chop worm/caster and no Joker as i thought from previous day the bream wanted the larger bait - how wrong i was !
After 15 minutes i had two Bream in the net before anybody else , my tactic working , so i thought ? However over the next hour Shaun to my left and Thomas to my right started to take regular Bream . I struggled after as obviously the fish were drugged on the Joker , i was angry with myself as making a bold statement that Joker was not needed .........dohhhhhh !
First Bream after 10 minutes on Peg 7 - I AM SURELY GOING TO GET A NET FULL ?
Peg 6 - Thomas Soderland - Constellation 15420 - Brilliant display of class worm/joker fishing . Pleased for him having had a poor Saturday .
Peg 8 - Shaun - Splash 13320 - Another great display of joker fishing and unlucky not to win the section as lost a large Bream at the net and also another later. Pleased for him after a poor Saturday .
RESULTS ON THE BOARDS FOR DAY 2
Massive well done to Constellation to get 29 points , just 8 points on the Sunday , what great fishing!
Splash unlucky and came good with 7 points on Sunday to finish on 32 points .
Well done Constellation - You are going Belgium !!
Congratulations to Andreas Sandberg of SPLASH
Saturday last in section and he looked sick as a parrot when completing the live draw on Facebook Saturday evening . What a difference a day makes as Sunday he wins the section with the highest weight of the whole weekend with 18600
Massive well done and richly deserved accolades to Andreas organisation skills as he made a great weekends competition run superbly .
Also a great organised competition deserves great fishing tackle companies to support this great event.
BIG THANKS to Metmask and Metbutiken for their prizes and not forgetting all that quality bait
DONT FORGET SWEDISH ANGLERS - PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR SWEDISH TACKLE TRADE
