INTO THE 10K FINAL!
March 2026
Headed to Elsecar reservoir today for a 10k Guru Feeder Cup qualifier and with a very cold wind blowing into us it’s fished even harder than expected!
I’ve plugged away at 15m and 30m with the 11ft Ultra Pro Slims, F1 Green, 16’s Finesse Feeder to 0.12 Soft Steel hooklengths for 20 skimbobs for 5lb 2oz which has won the match and secured a place in the 10k final at Ulley Reservoir!
Great to see some of the lads again and thanks for running such a good event so close to home :)
Dad’s ordered an extra LARGE fish cake!
Hope you have a great weekend baggers!
50LB FINISH!
March 2026
Today's been the final round of the Drennan Lindholme Leisure Lakes Bomb & Feeder League but with a cold wind blowing and a drop in temperatures we were hoping for the best!
I've drawn Benny's 48 in the back-bowl which can be a bit feast-or-famine but thankfully I've found a few fish to avoid a blowout. I've caught mainly at 6m and down my right hand margin with an open method feeder with micro Bandum wafters over F1 corn and whilst I haven't had any real runs of fish I've managed 19 F1's which has added 50lb to my tally and has won the section.
That's put me on a total of 236lb which has been enough to finish 4th in the league! It's been a really interesting league again with slight changes in bait, feeding and timings making a huge difference but that's made it even more enjoyable
Dad's been in the Anglers Arms Lindholme Lakes all day loving life and the awesome hospitality and a massive thanks to Alex Dockerty Angling page for the running the league and to Chicken and Aaron Clarke Grantham for weighing in AND all the free food after each match!
Massive congratulations to Mr Bexon on the league win and all the framers
Enjoy your Saturday evening baggers!
FESTIVAL WIN!
February 2026
Final day of the Larford Silver Fish Festival and the fishing has been VERY different in our section at the top end of the Burr!
I’ve fished exactly the same as yesterday and most bites were in the first 30 seconds but today I’ve had to really bore-them-on...
I’ve ducked and dived for 4.4kg to win the section and win the festival!
Feeding wise every day has been different but I’ve kept it simple and fished with Match Method Dark, the 3.3m Ultra Slim rods and fished 15m and 30m every day.
The live match film will be on YouTube over the next few days and I’d like to say a huge well done to Ian Giddins for not only winning the final day but for running yet another flawless festival well done mate!
It’s been a great 4 nights away with dad and I’m sure he’ll be sleeping all the way home :)
Thanks again for all the great messages everyone!
