I\u2019ve drawn a nice peg 13 on Canal and weighed 82-12 for 5th and a section envelope, but less than a 1lb off 3rd, so very close weights. Phil Canning was a comfortable winner off New Pool though. Weather wasn\u2019t great and I was surprised how quickly it had turned into coldwater mode&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back there Wednesday for the MAP UK Pole Championship ran by Match Fishing and drew peg 13 on Club. Not the lake I wanted, but still a very good corner peg and a chance of framing if it fished hard. I\u2019ve fished this peg numerous times, but not since the lake was dredged a couple of years ago, so wasn\u2019t sure what to expect. A few fish on pellets across and a few deep down the side but I could tell it was fishing moody and a swap to maggots was in order. F1s were rolling all over the lake but no one was really catching them. Thankfully this lake holds some carp and that\u2019s what I managed to catch, mostly down the edge over Sonubaits Match Method Mix and F1 Original. I totalled 91lb which to my surprise was enough to win the match, a big trophy and a nice MAP 701 pole! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/MAP-uk-pole-champs-2024-1st-B.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"210\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/MAP-uk-pole-champs-2024-1st-B-300x210.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/MAP-uk-pole-champs-2024-1st-B-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/MAP-uk-pole-champs-2024-1st-B-768x537.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/MAP-uk-pole-champs-2024-1st-B.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Up late swapping gear over, prepping bombs and teabags for the UK Champs at Barston the next day and really felt that would be the best way to catch a few carp. With Barston being so shallow any sudden influx of cold water affects the fishing, so I expected a tough match. Well I drew 108 and never had a bite on the bag while they both caught on it either side! I ended up with just 19lb of skimmers which I think was 3rd on our weigh sheet. A massive well done to Steve Ringer winning the event and Adam Wakelin winning the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was hoping to be on the river today but my body says no. Soon be no leaves on the trees and time for the thermals\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just one match last weekend and I went to Tunnel Barn as I\u2019d not been for ages.
