ST HELENS AA CANAL MATCH RESULTS 2,1,08

A very chilly start today for the 14 anglers who turned out for the first match of the year, there was a cold and bitter wind blowing in the opposite direction from the norm which left Matalan side very choppy which is unusual, and the water level was down considerably .

So first hour in and Mark Addy peg 32 ,Mike Elder peg 29, Lee Addy Peg 20 all had a few silvers , while Alan Lever peg 22 had a small carp and a few roach, Ste Hammy peg 16 was getting a few skimmers and Dave Allsop peg 7 was also getting silvers.

A couple of hours later Dave Rigby on peg 39 had 2 carp around 6lb each , Ste Hammy had a carp around 3lb plus a few more silvers, Alan Lever had another small carp, Ian Sullivan peg 37 had a small carp and a few bits, Mark Addy , Mike Elder, Dave Allsop, Lee Addy, Alan Lever, Dean Barlow peg 24 and Mark Tyrer were getting silverfish action, some more consistently than others!

Last couple of hours and Ian Sullivan had a small carp, Dave Rigby had another carp and some quality silverfish, Ste Hammy Had a carp around 5lb and some nice silvers, Alan Lever, Dean Barlow, Lee Addy were still doing well with silverfish and Dean Barlow bagged another carp just has all out was called.

I was wondering where they was this week lol. roll on wednesday! just praying for a good draw lol

does anyone know were i can get a good fishing box from

if you are after a new one james try liegh tackle and bait there is a link down the left hand side of the board they have a good range of boxes and cheapest around by miles, if your after a used 1 keep an eye on local papers and the for sale section of the board . sure to find a bargain this time of year.

thanks mate just started getting some stuff for fishing and just need the box and that really. is it good fishing at rainford?

i believe its great for sillvers but i have never fished it myself, ste hammy and his dad ste hammy snr are the probably the best to advice you on rainford.

Yep its good fishing if you like catching skimmers roach and tench mate. Its quite deep and the skimmers love pellet and the roach and that love the maggot and caster. The pegs which have been catching are like 15-14-10-26-27-43-1
