Forgotten Venues: Holme Pierrepont

[@jasonlaverty76]

Could listen to Bob for hours. Such a credit to the sport.

[@matthewbrown5677]

I was there Bob.... have some pic, s of you fishing..... travelled up there all the way from Kent. What I will never forget is your feeding.... it was windy but you nailed it every time. No 1.............👍

[@beb1234pchw]

I fished a match in1989 at holme pierpoint and Bob was directly opposite, I actually wish I'd packed up and gone and watched him ! Absolute legend

[@kevintams8689]

so good to hear bob nudd talk could listen to his stories all day long

[@DJ-uk5mm]

What genuine enthusiasm :-)

[@tonyholdsworth1125]

I was there Bob wishing your float went under what a day all the best mate

[@shitehawk1969]

Remember it like it was yesterday,the feeding with the balls of groundbait was megga..watched Bob on the sunday and was striking for him it will stay with me forever ..Thanks Bob.

Hi Bob, brillant Story, i can remembered. First day, i must win, had lost so many perches. because of the false Hook type, Serie 1T, was too fine for the hard mouth of these predatators. Day 2 i won my section. 3 Bites = 3 perches with stronger Hook Kamasan B532 in 24. A lot of spectators on the venue. Bob deservedly won! MS

[@DannysAnglingBlog]

Could listen to bob all day!!, Forgotten venues, amazing how a world championship venue can mirror the same decline we see in our own towns and cities, local ponds and canals once lined with kids and anglers now empty. The only difference is fishing is allowed on these waters and the fish are still there, its the anglers that have left.

[@mauriceburnett5730]

A true gentleman . Thanks Catch More Media .

[@jonathansutcliffe-bland4655]

I met Bob at Holme Pierrepont the day before the match. A true gent. I'd been fishing the nearby Grantham canal and decided to pop in for a look with my brother who lived in Nottingham at the time. He now lives in Barrow upon Soar. Such a pity he doesn't fish.

[@tomwinterfishing9065]

That was lovely. I remember it well. I was a budding junior match angler back then.

[@deanrogers8210]

Used to be a great bream water aswell. Was there that day, well done Bob

[@graemeaitken1018]

I think it was the 1989 World Club Championship. A French fella had 60lbs of bream in 3hours!!

[@marcfoy6277]

Nice video. Its important that these moments are not forgotten.

[@iantitchard1098]

Nice to go down memory lane ...... cheers sir bob 👏

[@davidmaggs6217]

I watched the European super cup there in 1991 and 1992 the venue was solid with fish, it’s amazing how much it had changed in 3 years. One of the Belgian teams Managers told me their bait bill for the Two Days in 1991 was over £1200, for 4 anglers!.

[@flatsix666]

I was there too, superb weekend !

[@philhunt2031]

class act bob......wow great video.....why on earth do we close such a venue for fishing...and not host a world championship event....surely short sighted....come on angling trust act on this and earn your money

[@britishbluetess]

A true angling legend, not aged a bit!

[@neilcoulson4402]

Remember being there watching

[@smitbar11]

I'm pretty sure the Gladding Masters was fished there in 1975 or 76. both blazing hot Summers. Ian Heaps was there, probably Ivan Marks and Kevin Ashurst as well. I was there with my schoolmate Toby Catchpole, he is an Archaeologist now

[@stevenash6685]

Hello Baz, yes the gladding masters was in 1976, lovely hot day, I sat behind Billy lane and Ian heaps, they blanked that day unfortunately, the likiey lads were there Ivan and Roy Marlow, and one of my favourite pole anglers Ray Mumford, remember Terry Thomas from the TV series being there at presentation, someone shouted where's the trout and salmon thomas, everyone laughed, wot a great day out though, will never forget it.

[@michaelbellamy]

That's right. Joe Brennan won it. But with a couple of Pike!

[@danieltaylor3611]

I bet if bob asked they would let him have a session on there, would make a great video to show how he fished it on the day

[@philhunt2031]

and well done TOM great content......

[@toms65]

I'm astonished that bob isn't sure that its the Cormorants that are emptying the place, i had a walk round yesterday, dozens of them buzzing around, also egrets , herons, grebes - the fish haven't got a chance

[@SimonLloydGuitar]

I used to live near there and take my dog around the entire site for years. It's gone downhill in recent years. Cameras everywhere, stupid parking (it used to be free), rubbish dumped, constantly flooded, crap fishing, constant algae in the water. So glad I moved away.

[@majmat]

Lost many of feeder on those chains when i use to fish it,always pretty hard going.

[@mickbrooks8114]

Shame we can't get this venue back

[@daniellloyd7557]

Mr T of fishing gotta luv bob

[@fredjpearce5962]

Nice recollection fella. Legend.

[@MarkCarp]

a sad end for such an important venue.

[@paulducker2936]

Good result for England And for bob. Kev..give him advice .Lol. Top team

[@daniellyne7891]

1994 he said the venue fished rubbish the river Trent started its decline around that time as well ......Gary lyne

[@Westhamskin]

I live not far from here, shame you cant fish it . Good on yea bob.

[@geraldoudenallen3453]

Nice story bob like too hear more

[@1669Python]

I was there that day!

[@buddykeville686]

Legend!

[@JohnSmith-uc1kf]

I remember the Octoplus platform s the size of dinner table s that yr ,😀 I wonder if England will stage a World Championship again anytime soon?

[@mickbrooks8114]

We should push for this venue to be made for fishing once again

[@lucashopkinson9416]

go to the fishing lakes up at the top

[@trevoror8668]

Seems a shame this water cannot be fished sign of the times i guess. On the bright side less than a month and we're back on the rivers and broads

[@GUMBOOTS9]

Fishing is banned on here??! Wtf? Seriously who let that happen what a joke. Great water and the perfect venue for a world championship.

[@pmay222]

Bob looks a bit 'chelsea pensioner' esque wi them medals on..... great insight.... maybee they shud have sent a few speedboats up and down for a while and stopped them 5 mins before start of match... the fish in these venues are used to boats it doesnt phase them..... oh well... hindsight maybee... the worlds are ALWAYS deeplt disappointing catch wise.. they peg em too tight

[@scottessery100]

it was a terrible advert for the uk in the worlds
