Over 55’s 

Due to holidays and illness among the regulars, only two fished our over 55’s yesterday.  On a truly fabulous autumn day, Barry and Dennis fished the Canal at Slapton and had terrific nets of silver fish. Dennis had 6Lb 12Oz of mostly roach on bread punch and pinkies with some perch, rudd, gudgeon and hybrids in the mix. Barry had 10Lbs 13Oz of mainly skimmers including a big perch but lost a carp which took a pinkie about half an hour from the end!  Due to holidays and other engagements, they won’t be out ‪next Wednesday‬ but are scheduled to be at the Globe ‪on Wednesday 23rd Oct‬, so if you fancy joining them you would be most welcome. Meet at the Globe, draw ‪9am‬, fish 10 till 3 with £5.00 optional pools.  Non-members are welcome to join when day tickets are available at the waters being fished. 

Our good friend Rive UK General Manager Amer Jawad fished the GUC Grove Marina today for a feature with DHP magazines Steve Martin. A great bag and his largest perch ever and he's had them over 3lb before!.  Heres what he had to say on his page: 'Out today with Steve Martin from DHP magazines. The feature was on the Grand Union canal on the Luton Angling Club water, Grove lock.  As features go, this went to plan. 35lb plus of skimmers

and roach, and the biggest perch I’ve ever caught, decided to join the party!! 😮.  A deserved plug for a groundbait mix I am totally sold on now. After using the Rive Etang (Lake) and Rive Canal mixes during last weeks successful festival in Holland. I used it again today, it mixes and works a dream. 👌Fantastic day all round. 😊'
