AT Division Two Championship - Luton Coach Myles Tommy comes individual 9th.
On Saturday 11th September 400 anglers took part in the AT Division 2 Championship match held on the mighty Gloucester Canal, the Canal that runs alongside the River Severn from Sharpness to Gloucester docks.
When built 200 years ago it was the largest Canal in Europe. The Canal is truly awesome at 25 metres or more across and 16 feet deep. The picture of a ship that passed during the match gives an impression of the size of vessel that use the waterway, bit bigger than on the GUC!
Myles was part of the CRT Yellow coaching team with the ten members drawn from Coaches from Clubs in Luton, Reading, Milton Keynes and Northampton. We had two ladies in the squad again this year. Overall the Team came 33rd out of 40.
Myles drew peg 1 on G section at Splatt Bridge, and he hoped that G1 would mean a short walk, but found the section was pegged highest number at the bridge so he was in for a long walk to his peg! When he started, he found bream on the 11-metre pole line.
Using a 2 Gram float and a size 16 hook baited with corn and red maggot he took 15 bream to make his weight. At the end Myles weighed in 15Kilos 750 Grams. He lost another two fish and commented they don’t half fight on a pole!
The picture is of one of his fish in the net. Holding the Pole got more difficult as the match progressed and the wind picked up, the canal is famed for being a large wind tunnel being almost straight.
Wednesday Match Report 8th Spetember 2021
With regular match organiser Dennis preparing for the Division 2 National on Saturday, it was up to Richard Gibbs to run the match on the Ouse at Wyboston and submit the report.
Although meteorological autumn, the weathermen promised a hot day, and it did turn out to be, with temperatures approaching 30 degrees so most of the 10 anglers were grateful for some dappled shade among the trees.
The river had a slight tinge of colour with a slow steady flow midstream. The gusting strong wind made float presentation very difficult and changed direction many times during the day.
We welcomed three newcomers to the midweek outing with two of them ending up in the the top three places!
The expected roach on hemp and tare failed to show and it was an all Perch net that made up the top weight which was taken by newcomer Dave Edwards who was float fishing maggot and worm for 5 - 7- 0 with some individual fish over a pound.
Second place went to Richard Gibbs with a net of a few Roach and Perch but with only an hour to go he managed to put over 50 Bleak in the net for 4 - 8 - 0
In third place was newcomer Colin Macbeth with mostly Perch and a few Roach for 2 - 14 - 0.
Next weeks match will see a return to the Canal at Three Locks, Stoke Hammond.
Richard would like to thank Colin Macbeth and Dave Britton for assisting with the weigh in.
