              Are you two talking about fishing the P.S.U.K NATIONAL by any chance ?

                Woody,
                Indeed I am sir. Come on spill the beans, how is it fishing? We need all the help we can get. It better not be fishery pellets only as we have just done a deal with GOT Baits for our pellets. Ray Best what a guy!!

                    Hi waveydavey..Sorry mate,but i know naff all about it..Only asked cos i’m fishing the same match representing Warwickshire.

                    I’m also looking for information,not for me,but for my team mates as i’ll actually be fishing the Oaks at Sessay.

                    Who you representing ?

                      spoke to the organiser yesterday he said fishery pellets only from 1st Sept spoke to fishery today they said some time in the future so who knows the organiser also said the limit is up to 5 pints plus 2 of pellet not 1 1/2

                        i fish there regular and was told last week that from sept. yr allowed 3 pints but must be fishery own pellet, mind it wasn’t tackle shop at venue but another angler so he may have gettin amount wrong. as far as fishin goes pellet up in water is better than meat up in water it seems but 1.5 pints aint much bait for 5 hrs solid. lake wise prey for partridge or skylark with end where wind been blowin favoured. also paste fishin well at 6 and 13m

                            Mart4666,
                            Thanks for the Update.
                            The National we are fishing is Thursday 13th September.
                            Surely the organisers of this national cannot change the amount of bait we are allowed to use at this late stage. Certainly we haven’t been informed of any changes.
                            Really looking forward to it. Carp fishing will be pretty new to us as we come from Northern Ireland. Woody999 I think you know more than you are letting on!!! Hopefully we can meet up for a beer. Cheers. DG

                                Woody, We are staying in Carlton Miniott to be near the venue this year. Yes we do enjoy it and look forward to it months in advance. We did well last year coming third. A very proud moment in our short history of competing in the nationals. I will try and find you somehow. Send me an-mail with your details. Cheers. DG

                                        This is typical of this match no one will know whats happening till a couple of days before ! And believe me waveyd the organisers will change things they did last time it was here. E mail me with details of where you are staying as we are in Carlton Miniott from the Sunday before

                                          Waveydavey,i’ll send e-mail sometime soon..Thats a good idea you and whatsaroach staying in Carlton Miniott as you’ll only be minutes away from the venue..Were stopping at York university which means we’ll have a 50 mile drive to the venue from our digs on the day of the match,could do without that !..Mind you i’m looking forward to the presentation and dinner at the Ebor Suite at York racecourse on thursday evening,hopefully the nosh will be good and plenty of it..We always sneak a couple of bottles of port in to have with the cheese and biscuits afterwards (naughty but nice).

                                                    Unfortunatly we move to the uni on the Wednesday so we will have a long drive too but i’m told that if the directions given by the organisers are ignored there is a better route. Last time if you remember it fished very hard on the day, we had been up there practicing for the week and had bagged up on carp but on the day the carp had done a runner so much so that i was 1st equal in the section with less that 30lb We later found that for some unknown reason ( due to slight deoxegenation we were told ) cold water had been pumped through the lakes. Now this of course may be pure coincidence but after 30 yrs i’m so suspicious ! i also know other bits and pieces but im not even going there !

                                                      Wasn’t aware of that whatsaroach cos i drew the Oaks last time round so am totaly oblivious as to what went off at Woodlands,i only remember that the winner came from there with about 70 lb i think..If cold water was pumped through the day before then i’m not surprised it fished cack.
                                                      last time round the Oaks didnt fish very well either,if i remember correctly,i had about 28 lb for 5th on the lake.

                                                      Hopefully it’ll be better this time round and it also sounds like the Oaks will compete with Woodlands this time !

                                                              Do you know how many teams are taking part this year ?..I think that will be a determining factor wether all of the individuals come from Woodlands or not as i’ve been told that if there aren’t that many spare pegs it will fish harder than usuall as you need a bit of room for it to fish well.

I have found the crack to be mighty, but also hard work practising for a week. The Thursday night’s I have found to be superb. There is also some good guys on the PSUK conmmittee, who to be honest it has been a pleasure to meet. We ran a small compettion in NI this year which was a great success, we even invited the Garda but they ran scared!! Hioefully we will see you all over here in the future.

                                                                                      Find a couple of local establishments that serve real ale and sample a few of their delights,move onto witherspoons where we stay for the rest of the evening and slowly get out of our trees..Then at chucking out time follow our noses which draw us to the nearest decent indian restaurant for a good curry and a couple of pints of cobra ale,order taxi back to digs and then fall into bed,wake up in the morning,take a few paracetamols,go for breakfast and then load the kit up ready for battle to commence ! ave it.

Finding a venue big enough does present us with some problems. We may have to split it over different venues, ie lakes rivers etc, but we are actively looking at it. Look forward to seeing you. Who do you fish for?
