Sunday 31st May 2015 - Stannah

Well 5th match of the Blackpool Federation League today and when we got there at 7:30 we were again met by rain and windy conditions and looking at the weather forecast we were not expecting it to get any better :(

Match was fished 8:30 to 11:30 with high water at 10:25.

All anglers were using peeler crab and most bluey or mackerel for tipping. 

I fished just up from the pylons opposite where the old Wardle's Creek pub used to be. Started off OK with a flounder on second cast and then odd fish continued throughout the match with a decent eel just before high water. Finished the match with 4 flounders and an eel for 168cm (75 points on conversions we use). 

One of the lads further up from me was going well even though he was complaining at the start of the match he ended up catching 15 flounders (10 in size) for 303cm (134 pts) fishing small pieces of crab with larger pieces of bluey. 

Winner of the match came from further up river on the bend 10 flounders for 329cm (179 points).

The lads fishing the creek end did not catch in the first hour with fish coming on just before high water.

The good news was that the high winds and the heavy rain that was forecast did not arrive so we only got slightly damp :)

Sunday 24th May 2015 - Fleetwood Channel

Brisk cold breeze and light rain welcomed use to the fourth match of the season, when oh when will spring arrive?

Match was fished 8:30 to 11:30 fishing the last 2 hours of the ebb and an hour after low.

Rumours persisted that codling were still showing and this proved to be correct.


Fish from the first catch with 2 anglers landing codling straight away,, while yours truly managed an undersized codling of 30cm.

Fishing reverted to normal after that with flounders and eels forming the main catches, with another codling showing just before low water.
