Johnny Brown: 1lb 12oz
Monolith: 1lb 10oz

Impressive show from the Fatneck catching more than the rest of us combined! A fine sight too in his Bob Nudd outfit...

When's the next one?

It was a bloody good day out! Really enjoyed it! :)

I stayed for an extra couple of hours and the fishing really picked up, shame it wasn't an evening match as I think we'd have all bagged some carp and barbel!

I reckon we try and squeeze another one in this summer!  :fishing:

I'd welcome the opportunity to kick all your asses again ;)

Seriously though, a great day out and good to see people I haven't seen for a while and to meet James!
I'd be well up for an evening match?

Loxley do a Wednesday evening open match, but it's a little far for you guys to travel.

If I was a really good boy and got into work early, I might be able to do a Weds Loxley evening if Huthers wanted to. Would prefer to be a little closer to home if possible but definitely feeling the psyche!

So we're potentially looking at another match, this time an evening affair on the 23rd July at Loxley. This would be an open match so not just UKBers but I'd expect the same level of banter  :boxing:

It was good to meet you all, I had a great day (though not on the weight I caught!)

It's my graduation on the 23rd so I can't make it to that match but I'll keep an eye out for future ones. Enjoy it!

Shame i missed it.

I am well up for and evening match but cant do the 23rd as on holiday. Are they running them all summer?

I did a fair few Wednesday matches there 2003-4 when Steve Adlam ran the place, you will catch a lot more fish. Three hour matches still used to throw up 30lb + winning weights. Guess you would all add a 0 to the weights you got last weekend.

Yeah the evenings are a lot more productive. After the match on Saturday I stayed for a couple of hours and started hitting the carp and barbel down the margins. My 3 biggest carp from the evening would have probably been 25lb+ alone! It's a shame we didn't bag up in the match but that's fishing I suppose.

I went again on Monday evening and the baliff said that they have stopped the Wednesday evening matches because they weren't busy enough. I think if we got a few people together they would let us have a match, I know a few Sheffield folk who might be keen.

Shame we never got the requisite tops off shot for The Reel Thing cover. Mind you, Atko did flash a bit of side cheb when assembling his lofty seating podium...

So Wackers and I were discussing when we could hold another match this year. I've had interest from gme and Millso. Could interested parties hit me with some weekend possibilities and we'll see what we can sort out?

Cheers...

I'm keen for this.

Shall we propose some dates and see if people are free? If we want a private match at Loxley then I think it will have to be a Sunday. Somebody will need to speak to them.

Is that an offer Will? ;)

But seriously, I'm happy to do the booking this year as you did it last year. Are people happy with Loxley again?

Also, I have booked a dates discussion with the FPO and will give dates this evening...

I quite fancy a Chub Barbel masterclass on the Don, but I guess a Loxley match would be easier to pin down.

So the FPO was straight back at me with the 11th July?

Also a bit of research showed this place as another option?

Anyone been?

28th June, 12th July, 19th July and 25th July. Look forward to hearing the verdict of others....

25th July would be too late for me, but I could do the others.
