Again this week we have had no catch reports, We do have the results of the Wednesday Match Groups outing to the Canal at the Globe.
Match Report, Wednesday 22nd February 2023 GUC The Globe
With prior parking permission from the Globe pub, 14 anglers met in the car park on morning that was drizzling rain and colder than of late, the temperature was around 8C with a chilly breeze which strengthened later. As we moved off to our pegs the drizzle abated and finally stopped altogether and it was dry for the rest of the day.
The canal water temperature was slightly warmer than of late at 8C, but still very clear and holding the cold green tinge it’s had of late. We didn’t have a lot of boats to worry us this week, but one of the Wide Beams that did pass went straight down the far bank and messed up a lot of peoples lines. Tony Hickmott drew the short straw, thinking he had a lovely peg, but after an hour or so two fitters arrived to fit solar panels to a boat moored to his right!
Most anglers had a good first hour and caught well, but then as the wind strengthened making life difficult for some, and it appeared to get colder the fish seemed to disappear, and the middle of the match for most was fairly barren.
The wind seemed to drop, and some sun appeared during the last hour and the fish then seemed to return to the feed, anglers starting to catch again.
However, Bart Bonito and Chris Howard managed to catch steadily all day. Bart was fishing a long pole at 16 Metres, fishing chopped worm and pinkies to take a good mixed bag at 13lb 2oz, including a brace of lovely perch, which were weighed individually at 3lb1oz and 2lb 1oz. Chris Howard fished his favourite bait, bread punch and again took a mixed bag including some nice bream for second place with 11lb 11oz.
