Burton Joyce Road Stretch: Macmillan Charity Match - Saturday 25th June

[Scribe]

Depending on which Weather forecast you look at the view is for sunny spells in the morning to from 0% to 100% chance of rain. Wind from the SSW which is good. I am hoping for a peg in the teens and to hit a shoal of bream.

Weather forecast has altered again now (from yesterday) lol just sunny intervals all day but a cooler 19 degrees.

@jononcb Nooooo ! Don't say that, right chaps there is only one thing for it there will be mass singing at the draw in the hope that it brings the clouds on.

I’m getting quite excited about this get-together. I will tie some hooks up later this afternoon. Haven’t fished or even looked at the river yet.

Can you do some for me, pretty please.

Been out today (not the match stretch) and you'll be pleased your old faithful Tares have worked @ravey. Maybe not enough roach on road stretchy yet but Sawley has a few.

Hope I'm wrong lol but I think it will be more Dace and Perch on Saturday unfortunately.

So.... reminder for Saturday:

• Draw - 9am (river users car park opposite the Ferry Boat pub - NG14 5HX or sardine.typed.paths)
• Still to pay £10
• Fish 10.30-3.30

Key Match rules:

• No barbel over 5lb in keepnet - I will give you my mobile number if you think you have one and come and weigh there and then.
• No more than 50lb in one net - it is possible if you hit the bream, particularly the big ones.
• Pike will not count in the match - if you happen to get one, get it safely back.

Assuming all are there, my plan for payout is £50 for 1st, £30 2nd and £20 for 3rd.

[Yuccaman]

I hadn't planned on it, but if people are up for it, we could?

 

[Fugley-fisher]

Think there is a raffle book floating about the house, will ask swimbo. Not found so sorry.

 

[rd115]

I've got stuff to bring if there's a raffle. Several reels and even a couple of rods.


Off top of my head:

Korum Axis 3000 (unboxed)
Daiwa Emcast BR LT 5000 (might have spare spool if i can find it, also Quick Drag modified)
KastKing Sharky 3 5000 (boxed, Quick Drag mod)
Drennan Red Range float reel (boxed)

Greys Prodigy TXL Specimen 11ft 1lb (no bag)
Korum Allrounder 12ft 1.25lb (no bag)

Couple of Dinsmore landing net heads which are fantastically strong for the money. Match size / pan nets with speed mesh / easy flow.


If there ends up not being a raffle these are all free to anyone who wants them or knows of a club to donate to the youngsters etc.

 

[Scribe]

Happy to bring the following to raffle

Korum River Tripod
Daiwa Matchman 6 Tube Holdall Brand New came with new pole unused.
NGT 50 Inch Landing Net with dual flotation system new unused.

 

[Yuccaman]

Ok - sounds like we’re having a raffle then guys! I’ll sort tickets. I’ll throw in 2x guest tickets with me on an Ashfield water of your choice. They’re 24hr so can be overnight or all day, whatever. Happy with £5 for a strip of tickets?

 

[Yuccaman]

Thank you so much for the offer of raffle prizes - I thought I had some tickets, I do.

Looks like some good things being generously donated, so £5 a strip seems a bargain! We’ll draw at the end of the match.

 

[IanG1]

Nice 15mph southerly downgate wind forecast for Saturday, typical Trent conditions when you want to put a stick through LOL

 

[ravey]

It’ll be down and off your back on the road stretch.

 

[ulladubulla]

I’ve got a Browning Sphere Pole Roller bag (brand new)

Various bits of clothing and caps (brand new)

Prob loads of other bits
