THE NEED FOR GREED IN FISHING

I REMEMBER a few years ago when after 3pm and the “all out” was signalled, a quick walk round the bank asking “done any good mate?” would be greeted by, “yes mate had about 30-40lb.”

Smiling faces and a very good chance of a brown envelope made match fishing quite a pleasant place, a very nice way to enjoy a Sunday morning.

Then only a few weeks ago, I presented the same question to my fellow angler in the next peg whom had been catching all day, and so had I, the answer was very different! “No Sh#t mate, probably 100lb-120lb not good enough though! NOT GOOD ENOUGH.”

This made my wee boil, but gave me inspiration for this blog. Where has it all gone wrong? If it has, and where are we going with commercial match fishing?

I suppose it’s the nature of the beast that as human beings we always want to go one better than our fellow man. We are competitive by our very nature and even more so when we add match fishing into the mix.

But are we really enjoying ourselves in our thirst for huge bulging bags of carp? What is it that is driving us to want to put more and more in our keepnets? Where will it end? 500lb… 600lb… a 1,000lb maybe, would you enjoy that?

I’ve had big bags of carp, but it’s not the most enjoyable form of fishing for me…far from it.

In the early days of match-fishing, when I say early I mean the 80s BF1 (before F1s), a 10lb carp in a match would be headline news and a 60-70lb net of fish would have almost definitely put a big brown envelope in your sky rocket.

I don’t know if it’s because I am getting old but the match-fishing world, whilst still very highly competitive, seemed a more enjoyable place. A day out was a day out, with 20lb you were always in with a shout.

Then came larger match size carp, or did we suss out how to catch them, whichever way you look at it, times were a changing.

My wake-up call came in the early 90s when I managed to fluke 288 lb 10o z in a match that was somewhat a talking point. It was colossal at the time, and I remember it like it was yesterday.

Every time I chucked my bagging waggler in, a fish was on, and I was knackered by the end of it. Having only one keepenet, as was the norm, the weigh in gathered quite a crowd, and there they were 55 carp, like peas in a pod.

After a few weighs they all went back, and instead of looking to the sky and marvelling in my own achievement, I suddenly thought: “I didn’t really enjoy that.” Don’t get me wrong I am not being big headed; it was just not why I go fishing.

You see like most of you, I love the process of working something out when fishing, seeing it all come together. The good feeling of tricking a few roach, tempting a tench or two on an inside line, not the robotic process of accumulating a big weight just because I can, and that’s what’s happening in my eyes. Commercial carp fishing has become a robotic weights and measures operation missing the biggest thing of all, enjoyment.

So where is it all going to end up? Should we be singing the praises of 300 lb plus weights, or championing a 20 lb skimmer catch? It’s different blokes for different strokes I suppose, but I think we are in danger of missing the FUN bit, as a win at all costs mentality creeps in.

This need for 100 lb-plus bags could be dangerous for angling, has the excitement or thought process gone out of it, or do we want more? I think we need to be careful what we wish for!

A gorgeous week again for many and a few venues have seen the resident carp looking for love and things other than a 4mm pellet. But a few hardy souls have ventured onto the natural waterways and one in particular fished well with great catches all round.

The competition needed more than 12lb to beat this week’s winner of the Anglers Mail performance of the week Gary Owen (good intent) who had 12-13-4; of caster fish. But he was helped by a real “beast” of around 8lb in the shape of a carp to see him take the honours on the Birmingham/Worcs Canal at Purdiswell, and lead the field by more than 3lb with a little help.

But nonetheless, a great performance and a great tale, take a bow Gary Owen, this week’s Anglers Mail performance of the week.

Big barbel are what everyone’s after this weekend, reckons Steve – seen here with a biggie.

IT’S NEARLY TIME!

WELL it’s been a long Close Season for me, a good one – I’m not knocking it. I decided to delve into the “darkside” and did a bit of carp fishing…

To be honest I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I can see myself edging towards that way in the near future, but overall I think it’s good to have a change, or a dabble in other sectors of our sport to keep the real “fire” going, the excitement of the unknown, not the thought of another 1 lb scabby carp! But hey I’ve already waxed lyrical about that, this week is all about the anticipation, the build-up, the excitement of June the 16th the glorious one.

It is the most exciting day of the year for the anglers whom like a bit of moving water, and after a few months of the rivers looking glorious, fish topping everywhere, and then like magic, the 16th is here and they all disappear. Or do they? It could be our presence on the bank that puts these fish on edge, as they are not like their fast food type cousins who inhabit a farmers gravel extracting hole. These are the real deal, it’s man against fish, mother nature, and endurance, real “mon” fishing.

I can honestly say there is not another angler in the country who will be more excited than me, I absolutely love it, and I shall probably be on my beloved river Severn or Trent at 11.59pm with rod in hand waiting… and back home by 9am moaning about the rivers!

But with all this excitement there is a serious side to it, my gear, lines need to be changed, reels checked, nets checked to see if rodents haven’t taken a liking to them.

And then my number one ambition, to lighten my gear. I seem to take more and more each year, yet use less and less as I get into the swing of methods, so I am aiming for less than 10kilos for pleasure fishing and 30kilos for matches.

My Rive has to go, and I shall purchase a much lighter box, I may even go for a retro blue Shakespeare box, as I will either be standing, or just perched with my head looking upwards. I don’t see the need for these Carlos Fandango contraptions on the river; a baitwaiter and a blue Shakepseare box, it’s the future. And you read it here first.

Take your litter home.

So if you’re heading down to a bit of running water this weekend, don’t forget: No litter, they have been fairly tidy for a few months, no tins, or groundbait bags. If you see litter mounting up after mid-June it’s only us to blame.

If you’re off onto the Severn don’t go mad with the feed for the first few days. And if your fishing the feeder, give yourself a longer tail, you may need to drop down a little in diameter in your line, and go a little more carefully.

And if you do catch a barbel or two, and this is only down to personal preference, if you’re going to use a keepnet at all, don’t have them in there all day. Make sure they are fit as fiddles and swim each one back individually.

On the match fishing front, the Tidal Trent shall be my main focus for the first few weeks, as the practice matches for the Winter League final should swell the attendances a little. And then I shall be on the Trent and Mersey for a few practice matches before the National starts.

I’ll not be going on any of the “en vogue “ river fest matches as I like to see a pay-out matrix before I pay my hard-earned, and I like to know where the excess goes, so I’ll vote with my foot as far as they go. But it is great to see the river matches back on the calendar again.

Nathan Watson nets performance of the week.

This week’s award has to go to one of the most consistent big money anglers out there, who despite having tons of big match successes, very rarely steals the limelight, or the big money sponsorships, as he is a “character” …

I hope he won’t mind me saying that, as I find him essential to match fishing, and unusually for me I like him! And apart from being a very good angler, and his work rate and effort to get to these big money affairs is second to none, I am of course talking about Nathan Watson.

He has yet again managed to qualify for the big Fish’O'Mania final, and deservedly so, with a 154 lb from Ghost 11 at Woodland View. He made it into the final for an incredible fifth time… remarkable. Nath, take a bow son – this week’s performance of the week.

SKY SPORTS TV are to follow up their exciting coverage of the big money Fish’O'Mania XX finals by recording coverage of the Match This finals.

The event, which attracts the cream of UK match anglers and has a jackpot prize of £50,000  was covered by the Tight Lines team last year.

This year is will have its own one hour long show broadcasting the highlights of the finals in the autumn.

The programme will be presented by Rob Hughes, who also presents the BCAC and UK Champs events and appears as a reporter at Fish’O'Mania for Sky.

Rob said ‘It’s great to see that Sky are supporting angling as they have for a number of years. These events showcase our sport at the highest level and what better place to see them than Sky Sports.’

Event organizer Phil Briscoe added: We’ve worked hard with the Match This concept which has become a major event in the angling calendar and we’re really pleased to see that Sky are covering it. It’s a big prize that all anglers want to win, and the fact that it will now be on television adds a further dimension for both competitors and spectators alike.’

The event takes place on the match lake at Maver Larford lakes on the 31^st August. Competing are some of the top names in the UK competition world including FishOMania XX winner Jamie Hughes, former Match This Champion Andy Power, and England and Preston Innovations star Tommy Pickering.

This year’s final will once again see 24 of angling’s best from up and down the country compete for the sport’s richest ever prize.

There will also be an equally prestigious team championship event taking place on Sunday 1^st September, which will see National representation from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland as well as International representation for the very first time from team Poland.

The Mega Match This weekend will pay out a total of £64,000 across both finals.

Members of the public are actively encouraged to come and view both events with food and drinks available on-site and activities for all the family. Toilets are also provided over the course of the weekend.
