I fish a place called in Garforth Nr Leeds called Lindhome on a Friday night after work. I am usually picked up by mate Gary Watson around 3.30pm and we set of to cross Leeds which at this time is a feat itself.
We usually get to "Gaping Goose" public house and met a couple of the lads fishing and have a chat over a pint or two.
The draw is usually around 5 ish and we fish 6-9 and weights can exceed 60lb, i have had a few 2nd places this year but as yet have to win one. My last time there i had 40lb and was doing well on Pineapple flavoured meat (turns the meat yellow) fish to the side of a bush in peg 9. Tackle for this is as follows as this place has seen many many poles broken, due to snags and how well the fish fight.
Pole .... Abu ambassadeur elite.
Line.....Stroft 0.18.
Hook Colmic 501 size 14.
Float MW diamond .3.
Elastic Vespe hollow Orange.
I was catching well by the side of the tree on pineapple flavoured meat, getting the odd lump. This place isn't what you would call a commercial fishery so bites can be at a premium. Coming into the last hour i thought i was i doing ok and fancied a decent weight until slices of bread and floating pellets came floating past my swim and up came the fish (don't you just hat that). I didn't have any floaters with me and the lad at the side of me began to catch well on the floating pole at 13mts. I by now was winding myself up about floaters and the floating pole and ended up third beaten by the floating pole 1st and floaters 2nd. Would be interested in your comments on the floaters and the floating pole, should it be allowed in matches????
I think 50lb won it and 46lb second and i had 41lb, one hell of a frustrating match for me.
I am still fishing the opens at Oak tree leisure at Huby but to be honest i am struggling getting to grips with the place at the minute but i will gety my head round it eventually, i hope.
I have a club match this weekend at Birkin nr Selby. About time i had a good result or a good draw.
Thanks for all your comments i appreciate the feedback and nice to know someone reads about me rambling on.
