It has been a few years since I last fished the Gloucester Canal, so I was looking forward to today\u2019s Feedermasters qualifier. I had a lovely match, winkling out small skimmers and one little eel for a hard-earned 12lb 3oz catch from peg 251. Just needed some bigger skimmers or a bonus bream or two, as 15lb won the section and 18lb won the zone, both having those all-important bonuses in their catches. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Refreshingly simple tactics, just setting up two identical 11ft Ethos XR-S Light Feeder rods and catching on dead maggots and pinkies early, then worm later. Groundbait was Sonubaits Sweet Skimmer, Lake and brown crumb. Smelled good enough to eat!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am definitely on a bit of a feeder theme lately as I\u2019ve just uploaded a live match from Boddington Resy<\/a> in my Channel Members area, plus a River Avon film<\/a>\u2019s gone up on my main channel as well! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day off Sunday. Have a good one! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
