Good Evening all,
I had an idea for a bit of fun that we could all partake in and figured I would post it up and see how it got on.
The image below is a venue on Fishsim 2 - Bell Ponds - Depths here average between 7ft and 9ft throughout even in the margins. It contains a plethora of species including the following
Carp to 7lb 3oz
Crucian carp to 4lb+
Eels to 6lb
Goldfish to 5lb
Ide to 5lb
Roach and Rudd to 3lb
Tench to 7lb
How to play
The idea of this game is that those that wish to play along select the circled area they would like to fish, the tactics and bait they wish to use and how often they would like to loosefeed/recast during this time. I will fish for 10 minutes on the game using the tactics selected by each individual member in their designated fishing area and once the 10 minutes is over I will post the results for each individual angler below.
The rules
You may choose to fish the following methods
Waggler - a 3bb Waggler will be used as standard - please specify if you would like to fish on the deck or shallow. As standard I will set shallow rigs to 2ft deep.
Feeder - A choice of either a maggot feeder or groundbait feeder
Freelined bait - You can opt to freeline your bait with a bite indicator
The strength of line and hook choice is of your choosing. You can hair rig the bait if you so desire.
Bait
You are allowed to use one bait as hookbait during your 10 minute session, these are as follows
Maggot
Caster
Luncheon Meat
Sweetcorn
Worm (Dendrobaena)
Paste
6mm pellet
You can select the size/quantity of bait as well if you desire, I will use only single hookbaits as default unless you state otherwise however if you wish to use double maggot or double corn then please state this.
If using a ground bait feeder you can opt to use the following Groundbaits
Brown Crumb
White Crumb
Red Crumb
Feeding
Please select how often you would like to feed your desired swim, loose feed choice is the same as the hook bait choice above, you are allowed to feed a different bait to your hookbait if you wish.
To those using a feeder setup select how often you would like the bait to be re-cast during the 10 minute period.
An example
In the event the explanation of the game didn't make sense I will post below an example of what to ask for..
Area - Yellow Circle
Approach - Waggler
Mainline - 4lb
Hooklength - 3lb
Hook size - 16
Bait - Double maggot
Loosefeed - maggot
Groundbait - (Only if using feeder)
Feeding - every 20 seconds.
There will be no prizes unfortunately but there will be virtual pats on the back awarded for the following
Largest overall weight
Largest fish
Smallest fish
Most species
If you are interested in participating then please post below your desired setup and bait/feeding options. I will try get the fishing done at some point throughout the next few days/during the week and post the results as we go along.
