EDAA Silverfish Open result from 22nd January, 2012. Goodiford Mill Match Lake, Cullompton, Devon | Number of anglers: 16Report: Sixteen Exeter members fished an open competition on the Match Lake at Goodiford Mill in Cullompton on Sunday the 22nd of January. With another club having booked pegs 1 through to 16 the match was fished from peg 18 through to 37 so everyone was curious to see how the second bay from 28 onwards would fish because it isn't normally used in competitions. During the match blustery winds made presentation and feeding hard again this week with the light quality very low seeing the bites was even more difficult.

Where Do All The Roach Go?
Match Fishing Staff  |  Jan 16, 2012  |  0 comments
This morning I had a lengthy chat with Wayne Swinscoe about his colossal 53lb of roach from the Town Welland and it got me thinking about the species in general. The lowest weight in his six peg section was 40lb – all roach and the average weight in the 38 peg match was 28lb. it was literally roach soup for the anglers on the match and was possibly the best roach match in this country ever. Interestingly though I asked Wayne whether the length had produced again this week, I was shocked when he said that all of the anglers had blanked! The venue had literally thousands of roach in it a week earlier and was devoid just seven days later.

The Silver Rule
Match Fishing Staff  |  Jan 13, 2012  |  0 comments
Middy's Craig Butterfield talks silver fish match rules, but are they more of a headache than a good way to stir up winter competition?Earlier this week I got into a discussion about the amount of anglers on the banks in winter. It’s pretty obvious that a vast majority of anglers are what I’d call ‘fair weather fisherman’ resulting in most matches on commercials this time of year having very poor attendances or in some cases stopping completely as they can’t even get anglers to turn up. Carp, very much like some match anglers, don’t like cold weather. It can make the fishing difficult and venues very peggy.
