Re: canal
Hi rod, there is 2 parts to the canal pegs 1-9 (but pegs 1,2,3, and 8 hardly get fished in the match) on matterlan side then a disused railway that's runs right across the canal, and there is an under water tunnel in between pegs 9 and 10. 10-34 down one side of the canal and then you have pegs 35-39 on the opposite side on a bend. Pegs 1-9 is about 13-14 meters across until peg 9 which is on a slight angle and can range from 11 meters onwards, peg 10 is the same as peg 9 only that on peg 9 there is some pipes so you can not get to the wall, pegs 16- 28 is around 16 meters across then 29-32 shallows off to about 13 meters, then peg 33 can just about get across at 15-16 meters but your fishing to a bend and peg 34 your fishing straight out along some over hanging bushes on your left peg 35 is about 18-20 meters across and pegs 36-39 are about 16 meters give or take abit, bait on there is maggot, corn, pellet and paste, also pegs 35-39 are known as the shallows with a depth ranging from 1.5ft to 6 inches up against the far bank.

Re: canal
Hi mate viv is spot on there. Alls i ever take is 3-4 paints of maggots. And the odd bit of ground bait sometimes.
