Div 2

[TF_LolB]

Just been informed by my capt that last weeks match at Littleport had 20 blanks on it. 2 fish won, god what where the back up weights like. could there be a worse river to hold a national on, should have have put it on the Thames or is a ploy by angling trust cos they didn’t get way over having div2 on a carp puddle ?

[TF_AlibongoParticipant]

Nearly every river fished hard last sunday, I know the Tidal Trent was rock hard!

[TF_joffmiester]

it will get better i just think the rivers are a month behind after the horrendous winter and spring we had
yep i was on the tidal last week and you wouldn’t of said there was a fish in the place !hardly a bite off dace ,roach or bleak and the big fish you could count on one hand 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁
but thats nature fishing
too many anglers want to catch 100s of pounds of fish :rolleyes: it ain’t going to happen unless its a red letter day 😎 😉 😀 🙂

[TF_joffmiester]

littleport has some of the best roach fishing on its day trust me they will be there 😉 😉

[TF_LolB]

i hope so 🙂

[TF_LolB]

hope so

[TF_BanjoParticipant]

I’d like to know where you got your information from LIOB? 20 blanks!? only 16 fished so how does that equate??

Anyway out of the 16, 6 did blank or DNW.

Top 4 all had a solitary Bream + bits. 5th & 6th place had 1-13-0 each of bits. The remainder had ozs.

Fish are still spawning, I know this because 3 Bream were caught on the pole line at 11-13m! and that is a rarity. The fish shoals were moving about but not interested in feeding.

We have a match on there tomorrow (Sat. 22nd) I reckon it could be the same? I’ll give it another week, unless they have now stopped their ‘carrying on’ in which case it could fish its tits off!

please read my post m8 answer to your question is in the text

Tuesday afternoon my mate fished pymoor stretch in afternoon, had 30 skimmers few perch and an eel.
All on tip

This is a typical post by someone who knows nothing. The reason Div 2 is on the great Ouse (not just littleport) is that the controlling clubs and the AT eastern region were bothered to put it forward as a venue. It is easy to say after the event has been planned ‘it should have been on the Thames’ why did you not arrange it then? This was just the same with the RiverFest matches. Dave Harrell and the AT asked for clubs to put forward venues and surprise surprise the pro active ones did and then Dave was criticised for having the wrong venues for some people. I would guess that these people who shout loudest and criticise most are people who do nothing!
For once let’s give some support to clubs and members who actually do things instead of just spend their time criticising others. If you cannot get to grips with the recent cold and unsettled weather which anyone with any watercraft or knowledge would know will make this a late season , I would suggest that you fill your bath with some carp and fish for them because natural venues require a little more skill.
Tight lines to all you river anglers out there. You all know why we do it!

FYI.

Todays match @ Littleport, sections D & E.

Pegs fished 60 back to 48 (Section E)
13 fished.

Top 5
Peg 51. 15-0-0 (3x Bream)
Peg 48. 10-11-0 (Bream, Tench, skimmer)
Peg 50. 7-6-8 (Bream x2)
Peg 52. 4-7-0 (Bream + skimmer)
Peg 58. 3-13-0 (3x Rudd)

Fish still not settled after spawning. Slightly better than last weekend though (for some).

Next match on Sunday 30th June.

Brilliant post this. Says it all really.

[TF_LolB]

If you had read my text fully. you would have seen that it said i was informed by capt that it fished badly.I fished these venues through out the 60s and the 70s. And had some great fishing,but the results so far speak for themselves and only 13 fished wow just fished an 80 peggar today on the canal in Leighten buzzard and why do people on here resort to personnel attacks on angling ability. I would have put the thames forward if i had known you could live and learn.

[TF_karen dox]

Ok then Lol.
The Angling Trust will need avenue for the 2014 nationals, I trust you will be putting forward the Thames for one of them and organising it, when you have I will concede that you do not just have good hindsight.
You posted an inaccurate report of the result of a match, but hey your mate told you so why not just post it on here without finding out the truth first?
You seem to have ignored the main problem I had with your post, this was the stupid comment about the Angling Trust deliberately putting a national on a venue which is not up to your standards. I have fished nationals for many years, I have won a team gold, and had 6th overall so I am not just saying this, and to be honest I don’t think there has ever been a venue everyone is happy with, it’s either to Peggy, to far to walk or in the wrong area for people. It is not possible to please everyone. Next time phone Sandra Drew at the Angling Trust and I’m sure she will give you a fair hearing of your issues.

[TF_LolB]

Karen. I agree i posted without getting confirmation, and i am man enough to say sorry to the angling trust and the guys putting the time and effort for the forthcoming national. Like you i also have team golds, i must say that the last national on the on the steak and kidney was good fishing no long walks and well planned. But hope the fishing is good cos if it’s a poor national fish wise with lots of blanks who knows were it could lead us.

[TF_joffmiester]

come on lads nationals are the roots of match angling back in the days no one moaned about venues no one moaned about close pegging 1000 peggers pegs 10 yards apart i’m just glad trhey are still on a natural venue .lets face it nowhere is fishing any good and when i say any good i mean consistant weights at the moment are coming from areas where as others are fishless unfortantly thats fishing .
we need to get behind the ATs or you could loose the lot 😉
i did put the river soar forward in both national and river feast didn’t get either 😡 so i can have a go if i wanted
a few years ago we split the national half on the river and half on the canal this worked brilliantly but ive never sean the trust do it since for some reason 😉 😉

cheers tim i just heard todays match was canceled only 4 names down
still it will pick up towards the day

[TF_BanjoParticipant]

In order of keeping the info on this post real here are the weights from the match at Littleport (Sections D & E) today (30.06.2013);

1st (Peg 37) 14-0-0 (3x Bream on feeder)
2nd (Peg 38) 4-7-0 (Bream on feeder)
3rd (Peg 36) 3-10-0 (Bream on feeder)
4th (Peg 35) 2-7-0 (Perch & eels)
5th (Peg 34) 2-6-8 (Bream ‘skimmer’ on feeder)

The rest of the field struggled to be honest. 18 fished. Pegs used 31 up to 49.

Very clear water conditions not helping at all. Not many small fishing being caught, its either Bream or bust at the moment.

Yes, the KLAA match planned for Ten Mile Bank on Saturday (29.06.2013) was cancelled due to only 4 or 5 booking on (and these were regulars) TMB is not fishing very well at the moment either, odd pleasure catch of note here and there.

Still a month or so before the Div 2 national so things may well improve?

Next match is Saturday (06.07.2013) and we plan to use the early numbers up to the 20’s depending on turnout.

Tightlines to all.

Banjo.

[TF_joffmiester]

CHEERS BANJO 😉 what with the winter league final we have very little time to practice for the national so this helps .we will be coming down over the next few weeks but we also have evesham

[TF_BanjoParticipant]

We had a match on the Littleport section of the Gt Ouse today, Saturday 6th July and here are the results;

1st (peg 9) section A, 10lbs 7oz – 2x big Bream on feeder
2nd (peg 14) section A, 6lbs 14oz – 2x Bream on feeder
3rd (peg 28) section B, 5lbs 13oz – 1x big Bream + bits on feeder
4th (peg 11) section A, 5lbs 12oz – 2x Bream on feeder
Section A (peg 8/ winner by default) had 4lbs 2oz (Bream)
Section B (peg 26/ winner by default) winner had 5lbs 1oz (Bream & bits)
All on feeder although an angler in peg 25 had 1lbs 7oz made up of 3 Roach + small skimmer caught on pole! So there is hope.

21 fished, and a few blanked, even those on pegs that usually produce something. We used pegs 8 tp to 28, so section D in the Div 2 national.

Until the Roach arrive its a Bream or bust contest and even these are not feeding as normal (yet) so its still all a bit hit and miss although the Bream have now finished spawning.

Where are the Tench? well these must still be spawning as they are a late spawning species by their very nature, maybe this year we’ll see them later on (along with the Roach).

Our next match is planned for Sunday 14th July and results shall be posted on here.

Tightlines.

[TF_joffmiester]

CHEERS AGAIN Banjokeep it up i’l posted them on simplematchfishing 😉

[TF_joffmiester]

i think the lads will be booking on this weekend i take it you book through steve or gary 😉

[TF_BanjoParticipant]

Hi Joff,

Yes book on for the Littleport matches through Steve and the KLAA matches through Gary (Chud).

We (Littleport) have two more matches between now and the Div 2 National. This Sunday 14th July and Sunday 28th July. No matches on Sat/ Sun 20/21st July due to Riverfest qualifier.

Br,

Banjo

[TF_joffmiester]

any news just back off my holidays 😉

[TF_BanjoParticipant]

Hi Joff,

Recent results have not exactly lit the world of match fishing alight but it is what it is.

The match fished on 14th July was as follows;
1st. (peg 24) 3-03-08
2nd. (peg 18) 1-15-08
3rd. (peg 10) 1-13-0
4th. (peg 15) 1-08-08

25 fished.

Since then we also hosted the Riverfest qualifier on Sunday 21st July.

1st. (peg 33) 5-10-0 (Tench + small fish)
2nd. (peg 50) 5-09-0 (Bream + small fish)
3rd. (peg 58) 4-14-08 (skimmers)
4th. (peg 23) 4-08-0 (skimmer + small fish)
5th. (peg 19) 3-14-0 (small fish)
6th. (peg 27) 3-13-0 (small fish)

60 fished.

We have a match on Littleport tomorrow (28th July) so I’ll post up results once known.

Seems that the smaller fish are now feeding in some areas whereas the bigger fish now seem to have gone off the boil. We’ve had a bit of rain this week so it could be all different come the national next weekend.

[TF_joffmiester]

Result from yesterdays match at Littleport on the River Gt. Ouse, 28th July 2013.

1st. Peg 50. 11-10-0 (Bream & skimmers + small fish)
2nd. Peg 34. 3-8-0 (eels & small fish)
3rd. Peg 33. 3-5-8 (eels & small fish)
4th. Peg 35. 2-7-8 (small fish)
5th. Peg 49. 2-3-0 (small fish)
6th. Peg 46. 2-2-0 (small fish)

20 fished.

Please note all results posted on here are from the Permanent Pegs no’s 2 -75 at Littleport.

So D1 will be permanent peg 2 up to D35 (peg 36), E1 probably peg 37 up to E35 which will be in the early 70’s (72?)

Big thanks to all teams/ anglers who have fished with us in our club open matches in the lead up to the national and we hope we’ve done you ok despite the crap fishing on occassions, which is all out of our control.

I’ll be stewarding at the Littleport sections D&E on Saturday and will be at the draw, come over say hello and if you draw a good ‘un I’ll let you know 😉

They’ll be some top Littleport anglers on the bank Saturday so don’t forget to ask their advise on the peg(s) as a little inside info could be the difference between chucking your net up the bank at 4 o’clock or tipping a few bits on the scales for the team.

Tightlines.
