Looks like maggots

As you know, we have a match at a new venue on Sunday 14th March.... Lower Ridge farm, Saughall.
It's a bit of an unknown, so six of us decided upon a fact finding knock-up on Wednesday. Here are the results of the mission, so you can start to formulate a plan for the club match.
Everyone caught a few fish.....a few being very true in my case! I fished like a gnome-mark, stubbornly using pellet for the whole match. I ended up with a tench and 10 small ide for about 2lb (DNW).
All the others chopped and changed, and one by one they ended up fishing on maggots. John Heald, after an unsuccessful start on the tip, caught steadily on pole-fished maggot for a mix of quality ide, small carp & F1s, and finished a worthy winner with 16lb 8oz. He's got a future in fishing has that lad!
Gary Chambers was 2nd with a similar mix weighing 10lb 4oz, and Dave Gentile was 3rd with a net of ide, skimmers, F1s and a goldfish for 10lb.
Norman 'the nugget' Smith, had 9lb 12oz of mostly small roach, unlucky for him that it's weight that counts, not numbers.
Hope this will be of use and/or interest to you, see you at the match,and fingers crossed we have a good day out.
P.S. we're having another knock-up next Weds (10th), on Milton Green 3, everyone is welcome.
