Jack Gill returned to the bank following his magazine shoot with Match Fishing Magazine. He managed to fit in two matches and here is how he got on
💥 Match catch ups 💥
Last week went back to railway, drew couple pegs away from week before this time on 6 🥴
Struggled all day but found a few stockies in right edge on meat to end up with 34lb.
Usual peg 42 and angler Mr major won the match with 180lb with Justin 2nd on 2 with 80odd and barty 3rd on 4 with 54lb well done guys 👏🏽
💥 Barford open 💥
Today back to Barford over pleasure and top. Missed a lot of the summer fishing here due to other commitments but always jump to the chance for pleasure.
Draw left me on 5 pleasure which is one of my favoured pegs but wind was wrong for the Waggler but was blowing across me into the space so always a chance of a late edge arrival especially with 7 left out due to day tickets walking up and down the narrow causeway most of day.
Struggled most of the match, had an f1 on the Waggler which was a write off all match really which was my banker and a stockie on bomb and corn with a few skimmers.
No bites anywhere till last hour and a half I’ve had an arrival down the right edge under the rope on Pegno1 milled expander and Scopex 🌽 soaked in my usual Scopex liquid. Had 6 fish in 30 mins for 70lb then 3 last hour which seemed like a conveyor belt of people walking up and down past my edge 🤣
Still ended up having a nice day and winning the lake and second overall with 113lb 3oz which I think the rain and a cold day shut the lakes off.
Well done team mate Ben Smith winning the top lake and match from 6 with 113lb 15oz 👏🏽
Back out next week for choppies memorial match over all 3 lakes so looking forward to that!

We will start putting Jacks video's up from his magazine feature in the next few days which are full of tips so watch out for them.

Something very new from Peg no.1. This h**p is cooked and sealed in the jar, maintaining all attractive oils and flavors. It's an essential product to keep in your bag, whether you're fishing down the margins for carp, catching roach on a reservoir, or on a power river hoping for a barbel. Ideal for fisheries where tins are banned.

Bruno was out at the weekend with tactics that prove how warm the air and water temperature still is. Here's how he got on - 'Back to Rookery today on the tackle and Bates Open Match on Raven Lake! Like most people, I really wanted peg 5, 🤣 but I drew end peg 29! Always seem to be smaller stamp fish at that end of the lake, and it was no different today! 47 fish for 140lb, for 3rd on the lake; well done, Josh, winning, and sneaky Martyn Freeman, 2nd! I caught on peg No.1, 4/6mm pellets in 4ft at the bottom of the far shelf. Then, a couple late on, done the edge on meat over peg no.1 spiced meaty mix! '
Well done, Bruno.

Bruno was out at the weekend, enjoying the warm but very windy weather. He fished a very impressive match; here's how he got on:
'Rookery again today on the Tackle & Bates match on Jay Lake and I Drew peg 44. Started across on peg No. 1 pellets in 3ft for the first hour, catching around 30lb. Then I've gone 7m down my right margin on the edge of the reeds, tapping in 4mm and 6mm on the hook, and caught steady away for the rest of the match! Had 5 on a top kit last 15 minutes on meat to weigh 206lb and win the match.'
Well done, Bruno, top performance!

Team member Andy Downton has recently been fishing 'The annual Gillingham Festival' and here is how he got on-
The Gillingham Festival is always a highlight of my year, and this time I was fortunate to be paired with Guy Manton for the Chancey Pairs. Day one put me on the River Stour at Sowley on Peg 1—a flyer with bream potential. Having not fished a river in over seven years, I was eager to get going. The first hour went smoothly, but the weather soon turned foul. Heavy rain drenched my glasses, making it impossible to see, and thick duckw**d choked my peg. Despite constantly trying to clear it with the cupping kit, the w**d kept blowing back in. I spent more time out of the water than in it, limping to the scales with a miserable 4lb 12oz. It was my fifth terrible match in a row, leaving me fed up and ready to skip day two altogether.

Thankfully, I stuck with it for Day 2 at Lodden, drawing Peg 40. I targeted quality over quantity, cupping in groundbait and fishing a 4mm expander pellet on the 13m pole line. I built up a decent run of 2 to 3lb skimmers before losing a couple mid-match. A quick five-minute chuck on the method feeder produced a bonus skimmer, and back on the pole line, the elastic poured out as carp moved in. Switching to a soft 12-14 slik elastic allowed me to safely land two carp alongside a few final skimmers.

My net weighed in at 31lb 12oz, unexpectedly snatching both the section and the overall lake win in a razor-thin finish, edging second place by just 6oz. Best of all, Guy and I clinched the Chancey Pairs title with a combined 79lb 12oz, beating second place by a tiny 3oz margin. Going from pure frustration to walking away with £200 and our second pairs trophy in three years made it an unforgettable turnaround.

Well done Andy and guy great team effort and show every fish counts in these events.

James Atkins has been out on the bank with his camera again last week, filming the ups and downs of his fishing matches. It's a great over-the-shoulder POV, which gives you a real view of what it's like for a match angler fishing local club and open matches. Perfect if you're new to match fishing or just fed up on a rainy day, wishing you could get out on the bank. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giK5dHBfsSM
