Woodhouse Grange - Kennel 17 - Open Match

Just because you have done a great weight off of a certain peg before, it is easy to become side tracked into thinking it will automatically happen again. That's the thing with Woodhouse Grange, no two days are ever the the same with regards to methods and baits. This can make you go from hero to zero, this definitely happened to me on this match. Learned a lot though to take on my next visit.

Excellent video Greg, showing matches when it doesn't go quite right is a pure, honest approach. We all learn from the not so good days, it makes us better anglers, Keep it up mate 🙂👍

[@GregProffittAngling]

Thank you Paul, there seems to be a lot of matches where it's not going right just lately 😂👍

[@stegrundy4014]

Every day a sko day 😝 Well done Greg another good vid 👍👍

[@GregProffittAngling]

It certainly is Ste 😂

[@OneDaveAtaTime]

You should make this a 3 part trilogy. Same peg 3rd time lucky. Good watch and more to come I hope 👍

[@GregProffittAngling]

That's a great idea. Probably won't ever draw it again 😂👍

[@dannymartin5675]

The best bit about getting it wrong is you new why we all have bad days you’ll be between off for it all the best

[@GregProffittAngling]

Hi Danny, Yes, it certainly makes you try harder. Thanks for your comment. Cheers, Greg

Hard lines Greg ,I fished a match two week ago and fished OK for first 2hrs and then got my edge wrong ,Drew end peg 35 ish and thought the proper edge fish would come so fished 9mtrs down bank ,massive bollocking dropped only caught small fish and then you've blown it cos you can't afford to give rest of anglers a bad spell cos you can't catch up .I was down s bit but went following Tuesday and won ,so good days and bad ,its all about decisions. Enjoyed vid pal ,I'm sure you'll come good again.cheers.

[@GregProffittAngling]

Hi Albert, That's what I like to hear. You came out top in the end. Yes, you make decisions that you end up regretting, but that's fishing. I hope I can bounce back. Thank you for your very kind comment. Much appreciated, Greg

[@alanthompson4840]

Don’t beat yourself up Greg, like you said it’s a learning curve you’ve had some sport and learnt for the next outing, upwards and onwards mate💪💪

[@GregProffittAngling]

Cheers Alan. I know I shouldn't beat myself up, but I just can't help it 👍

[@nigelmiddleton2727]

Love your videos mate because you fish the same venues our clubs fish, it's interesting to see how you tackle pegs I have actually drawn. I just can't get my head round that Kennel 😢 those regulars who get those massive weights off there amaze me. I never do anything on there until the winter months then I can hold my own , in the summer I just get battered 😅 never mind keep up the great content.

[@GregProffittAngling]

Hi Nigel, yes I agree those boys are something else. They punish your every mistake, but thats what makes you a better angler. I am still trying to get my head around it. I think it will take me some time 😂. Thank you for commenting. Greg

[@LouisMarshallFishing]

Unlucky Greg, can only get better 👍🏼

[@GregProffittAngling]

Hey Louis, been today and it's not got much better 😂

[@davep6286]

With these weights coming out in this changeable weather.You’ll need to ptfe a number 3 and sidepuller a n4 to bring um in.

[@GregProffittAngling]

Hi Dave, yes it seems to be going that way. Although just lately everywhere is fishing poor at the minute with the rubbish weather. Roll on some warm weather 😎

[@southy1989]

[@russmarvin6931]

Hi Greg what days are these open matches and do you have to book on

[@GregProffittAngling]

Hi Russ, these matches are on Thursday's every week. I cam only make them in the school holidays due to work. If you search Woodhouse grange lakes on Facebook, they post the weekly board with all the match and pleasure pegs on. You just simply comment if you want to book on. Draw is 08.45, fish 10 till 4 and its £21 all in. Greg

What elastic do you use I’ve noticed you don’t mention what you use

[@GregProffittAngling]

Hi, I've mentioned them on videos before, so I don't want to bore people 😂 For my margin I use the MAP hybrid elastic in 18 to 20. And for my shirt pole work I use the same elastic but in the 12 to 14 rating. Cheers Greg

[@Lfc-kd2kr]

@@GregProffittAngling I’ve watched a few but I must have missed them ones lol keep up the good work videos are awesome to watch

[@GregProffittAngling]

Cheers buddy 👍

[@MrNeilb37]

at 0945.. the fish was on top of the surface and very close in so why use a pole when you could just scooped him out with the long landing net and put it in your keep net

[@GregProffittAngling]

Hi Neil, Unfortunately, it's not within the rules. All fish must be hooked by hook and line. Thank you for getting in touch. Much appreciated, Greg
