I was on peg 5 on Siblings A and half fancied it for a few as I&#8217;ve done well on the peg before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thought it&#8217;d be a simple match of sacking up shallow and short, but it turned out to be a really tricky day, getting snagged up, sheared off and trashing rigs left right and centre! The fish wouldn&#8217;t leave the clumps of reeds and I couldn&#8217;t catch anything off the deck, so I had to go in the rushes after them. Every fish I hooked fought like a demon! Might&#8217;ve swore once or twice too&#8230; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ended up with 45lb, almost everything on maggots over a bit of Sonubaits Supercrush Expander, F1 and Supercrush Green. Thankfully enough to qualify for the Final and surprisingly enough to win the lake. Phew! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the other lakes fished much much better and very well done to Matrix star Aidan Mansfield on the match win with 184lb from peg 15 on Little Gearys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/FI-pole-champs.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/FI-pole-champs.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/FI-pole-champs-300x142.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/FI-pole-champs-520x245.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I fished the UK Pole Championship qualifier run by Match Fishing magazine and Preston Innovations today at Packington Fishery.
