Old Hough Fishery

Boulders - 13th April 2013

The lads were down at Old Hough Fishery in Middlewich this week. Unfortunately due to a bereavement and family duties I had to give this a miss.  However I got the low down off Paul & Phil after the match and it seems it was pretty hard going on the day.

Although temperatures weren't too bad, the dreaded high winds put in an appearance which caused a lot of the field to struggle with presentation and hold their rigs still.  Were anglers could keep the rig stable for a few minutes, this resulted in bites and fish in the net.  The anglers that could not, simply couldn't get the fish to respond.

Baitwise, most anglers opted for Red Maggot and it ws maggot that dominated all the winning weights.  John Ruddy won the match with 25lb, followed by Alex with 16lb and Denis completing the podium with a 10lb net.  Most anglers did put at least something in the net and bites were aplenty from most pegs to be honest.  Had the wind dropped I think the weights would have been certainly better across the whole of the field. 

I would have loved to have been there, even with the wind, especially as I have set myself a target to fish the majority of this seasons matches!

Next up (which I will DEFINATELY be fishing) is Blake Hall Fishery, or BLEAK Hall as one or two have described it as...(sounds ominous!)

Tactics will be Marukyu EFG150 Groundbaits, Krilled Maggots and Bagem Super Spicy flavoured Sweetcorn!  All with the cage feeders and bomb.  Any tips? Please comment below! haha..
