Tunnel barn

Hi All

This is my first entry too my blog, a memoir of a few of my fishing trips, pleasure and match.

At the beggining of september i had a day at tunnel barn farm , canal pool. It had been a coldish night, with heavy rain and i knew this would make it hard.

Me and john dale fished the north side of the lake , i think i was on peg 23 and john 22.

John fished long to the far bank , having perfected the art of holding the pole and catapulting bait at his float, this is a skill i have not yet mastered , its harder than you think, well i think it is.

I started long and had a few , but it was slow, john on the other hand was having a few on soft pellet and was beggining to bag, i decided to give the paste ago close in and feed sloppy pellet over the top. After a while this began to work but i was foulhooking a load of fish.

All in all i lost about 15 fish but still ended up with a reasonable 34lb , john beat this with a great 46lb, well done john. It was the shallow approach which worked on the day and given the cold wet conditions , was a job well done
