WHO IS BETTER: NORTH OR SOUTH?

I REMEMBER a few years ago, when the West Midlands was the mecca of commercial fishing in the UK.  Attendances would be huge at places like Moorlands Farm, and Woodland View.

It was a real who’s who of modern match angling that saw some of today’s best learning their trade as modern fishing took a very important turn and carp started to dominate. 100lb bags were the holy grail and I remember T-shirts and jumpers being produced for 50lb plus weights, a weight that wouldn’t see you in the top 10 in modern times.

Anglers such as Kieron Rich and Simon Christian dominated, whilst river stalwarts dipped their toes into modern carp match fishing. The likes of Dave Harrell, Ken Giles, Colin Bennett, all decided that this was the way it was going to be. The sheer weight of an ASI box was enough to kill any man on a River Severn match, the park behind your peg and catch a ton became very appealing.

With these 50 lb bags, 100 lb mega catches becoming more commonplace, anglers started to flock to the Worcestershire Meccas. We witnessed the siege of the “northerners” and southerners” try and get in on the act, in what seemed at time like the Wembley of fishing.

The locals were getting restless, as new methods were coming into play, meat and corn were no longer the key, the likes of Barry Gannon, and Vinnie Smith used to arrive laden with half a ton of worms each, enough to scare the bejeepers out of anyone within 10 miles of Moorlands.

These mysterious white sacks were behind every northerner’s peg , in reality there was nothing special in the bags, it was just worm, kilos of it, and it was a ground-breaking method at the time. So it seemed the Northerners were the ones to be fearedon the match circuit, with their fine lines and affection towards bagging 30lb of silvers in between, they were the bees knees.

Meanwhile, when the Queen Vic was closed , a new breed of angler had emerged from the old smoke. The canal towpaths had been breeding the likes of Dave Vincent, Sir Bob Nudd, the Stevie Gardeners, Steve Sanders, and the unstoppable Mr Raison, all taking their fair allocation in the international squads. To this day the sheer dominance of a Southern side such as Dorking, is enough to see nerves go at the drawbag.

But it still beggars the question, who is the best? Or in fact is there a best?

You see nowadays I feel there has never been a better time for anglers and teams to glean information. It is so freely available, in ye olden times, if we had a match on the Trent we couldn’t log on and Google “what’s the great Jan Porter doing today.”

If we didn’t have the phone number of someone who was in the river at the time we were stuffed, now I can pretty much find out what colour maggots they have on their side trays on the Bristol Avon, via a few keystrokes. I am not sure whether or not it has made us better anglers.

It’s certainly closed down a north/south divide, as I am pretty sure a Dorking side could go to Barnsley and finish in the frame, and vice versa.

What it does mean, that in the modern match world you have to be either at the very top of your game and immerse yourself completely in one discipline or the other, or have a lot of time on your hands and become a venue expert. Sadly neither of those are options we are all lucky enough to have or do.

The sun has definitely had its hat on this weekend, and I can imagine a lot of anglers’ tans will be on show, looking like we have gone to work wearing red socks on our arms.

Most fisheries around the country would have been dominated by shallow tactics as the fish start to move around a bit more.  The fish definitely moved around for this week’s winner, who managed to top a field of 130 quality Fish O’Mani hopefuls  to put himself in line for a 30k prize at Larford lakes.

That man of course is Gary Hick of Oswestry, who made the relatively short journey down to Stourport and probably went back with a big smile on his face as 136 lb later from peg 43 he has reserved a seat on the big money final.

A great result and well worthy of this week’s Angler’s Mail performance of the week. Mr Gary Hick take a bow.

IT’S BAGGING TIME – FOLLOW THE EXPERTS’ TIPS…

I DON’T think we have ever had fishing so good if you’re into amassing huge nets of carp. And this is the time to do it, as all around the country match results are soaring into the three -figure marks but there is a skill to it, and you have to be prepared.

I’m in the very fortunate position to be able to sit behind anglers whilst they are doing there best to fill as many nets as possible and break that ton, and more commonly the double ton!

And to do this there is no real secrets, just a lot of preparation, and I managed to glean a few tips of the very best to give you the chance of breaking the 100 lb barrier this summer.

1. Preparation

Simple as this may seem, the way you prepare your gear for a session could be THE difference between winning or losing. Make no mistake, the Les Thompsons, Des Shipps, and other greats all prepare to win, and nothing is left to chance.

The night before, make everything tidy, don’t just throw your stuff in the carryall. Get a situation going where you know where everything is, bait boxes nicely stacked, pellet pumps where they are supposed to be, and everything tidy, so when you get to your peg, there is less time messing and more time assessing!

2. Double up

Again this may seem simple to most, but having duplicates or more of everything really helps your rhythm, as there is nothing worse than seeing lumps down the inside, and discovering that you have tangled your margin rig 2 hours earlier whilst trying something daft! Get it sorted have one or more tied up exactly the same, it doesn’t take much effort.

I have lost count of the number of times I have seen anglers ruin a margin swim, by having to stand up and mess around in there boxes looking for stuff to Heath Robinson a rig together in the last hour.

Next time you tie a rig, tie two, when you buy a catapult, get another, but make sure you always have a spare.

3. KISS

This is something I see all the best do: Keep It Simple, Stupid.

When I do a feature with a top flight angler you will notice on his side tray, very little, the bare essentials. His bait will be kept simple, and everything is to hand.

Now when I am doing a feature with a club level angler. His side tray will look like Steptoe’s back yard, it will be a mess guaranteed, too many baits, too many different types of floats and too much crap!

Next time you see an Action Replay in the Angler’s Mail, pay attention to the side trays of the greats and have a look…. it will be as tidy as Gok Wan’s sock draw.

4. Don’t tire a swim out

When you’re catching from a particular area of your peg, it’s very easy to keep flogging it to death. We have all done it, and caught until the area dies out, or sometimes we are very lucky and it doesn’t.

But again one thing I have learned from the stars is that even if they are having a bite-a-chuck in a particular area, they will still give it a rest and try another part of their swim. This maybe even better that the bite-a-chuck area, producing bigger fish sometimes. It’s hard to do, and takes discipline but it’s worthwhile.

5. At arm’s length

If there is one thing I have taken away from doing features with great anglers is that they always have an area of the swim they can feed by hand, and in particular with real regularity.

The bait keeps going in little and often, but it never stops raining bait, it may be only two or three casters, one cube of meat, but whatever it is, they never stop doing it.

I have seen 40lb to 50lb put in the net in the last few minutes of a match on this line. So throw a few casters as far as you can and get into a rhythm of doing it, then fish it out.

All of these lessons I have managed to learn, they are not my tips – I am crap – but if you could just put one them into practise this weekend on your club match it might just make the difference.

It’s getting harder and harder to sort out a worthy winner of this award each week, as I have been hearing about some spectacular performances this weekend, but I have to pick one…

This week the Angler’s Mail performance of the week award goes to the North East of the country where a mammoth 159 pegger took place at Lindholme Fisheries. And it was John Barningham who took the honours with a 109lb 9oz bag, at the Big Bash charity match, from peg 69 on Laurels, beating young Frankie G into second place.

Take a bow John. It’s always nice to win a huge match, even better when it’s for a good cause.
