A Fabulous Silverfish Match

Had a fantastic day on the Leamington AA match at Snitterfield Resy on Saturday. I really love this venue as it’s full of quality silvers and you never know what the next fish will be. I’ve drawn peg 19 and had a memorable day, winning with 55lb, including a dozen tench, lots of small chub, some chunky roach, quality skimmers and a bonus 6lb bream (a known resident they call Stumpy as it has no tail!). Only surprise was not hooking a single crucian carp as there’s loads in there!

Caught best on the short pole with casters and maggots over a little bit of chopped worm and Sonubaits F1 and Supercrush Green groundbait. Used the new X2 hooks in a size 16 as well.

I don’t get to fish many LAA matches but it was a lovely day at a special venue with a really warm and welcoming group of anglers.
