Maggots End
Rods & Reels
This week’s match was the 10th match
in the winter championship series and
was held on the Rio Segura at the Eden
canal stretch.
This championship is a series of 11
matches with the best 8 to count the
last match to be held at the end of
March. The weather again this week,
took its toll on the fishing.
Firstly arriving at the river with
2 degrees showing on the car
thermometer. The river was running
through at pace and was up and
coloured. This was draw your peg and
find some slack water to fish.
Overall there were 6 blanks and
I was with several others nearly
increasing these numbers.
My first fish was just before
3 o’ clock (we started at 9). With a
second at 3.25, five minutes before the
finish.
Paul Baxter’s only fish came at 3.20.
“Oh the joys of fishing in Spain”, in saying that, at least we
have fished all through the winter, whereas in the UK, they
have either had to break the ice, or not fish at all.
Roll on the Summer.
Top rods on the day:
1st
John Winstanley fishing the feeder using corn with 3.74 kilos.
2nd
Harold ( H ) Clarke fishing the pole using corn with 3.72 kilos.
3rd
Derek Swann fishing the pole using maggot with 2.34 kilos.
Overall points status with no deductions:
1st Paul Baxter with 69 points.
2nd Dave Hoare with 71 points.
3rd Bill Reade with 89 points.
As stated above the last match is at the end of the month and
so it will be a close run thing for 1st and 2nd.
As has been stated before, the Embalse de Pedrera has been
filled up, with the road at the back of the broken bridge some
8-10 feet now underwater.
The picture has been taken from the road just before the
broken bridge. The bushes in the background was the point
that was used for matches. |
