MDs Midlands Match Rysons Sunday 14th April

[Northantslad]

Average stamp of Bream around 5lb I would say, used to be a tad bigger than that with very few skimmers showing, now more skimmers show and the Bream as I say not as big as they used to be, but get on a shoal and there are plenty to go around. If you are going this time of year loopknot then red maggot and worm all the way, tends to get a bit trickier after that for bait choice, usually around the 14th April they start changing their minds........................

Had a walk around the lake today while I was bypassing Thrapston took a couple of pic

Thanks again scribe, as previous, if anyone wishes to liaise with scribe on that and take on role no'5, reply in thread.

Happy to mark down the weights unfortunately not too much lifting for me with my back . Can also probably get hold off a second set of scales and weigh bucket as back up if needed.

[Whisker]

I have some weigh sheets, a clip board and pen, I think that qualifies me for Role No. 5

 

[Scribe]

Thanks Ian much appreciated. Although I have heard a rumour that your weigh sheets give you a 20 Lb start

 

[Whisker]

No probs. You heard wrong Kev, there's no headstarts on my sheets.
My maths and eyesight when it comes to weighing in others however... ?

 

[Scribe]

@Whisker just joshin mate - Personally I would handicap you at -20Lbs

 

[Whisker]

That's about 4 bream then, give it take Looking forward to this match Kev, can't beat a bit of silver bashing
