MAS News

On Friday James Clarke (Sensas/Starbaits) and myself went to visit Graham Cridland who runs WSSAA. You may remember my post on our Facebook page on October 30th about Graham and WSSAA as they had lots of equipment stolen which stopped them from running the angling courses and helping disadvantaged kids and other people who would benefit from spending time with Graham and his team fishing.

John is the newest member of Team MAS and has an excellent match record with his club Greenhill AC winning many matches over the last few years. John has been a member of Greenhill AC for many years and was part of the junior section and was coached by MAS Managing Director Phil Ackerley when he was younger.

The Saturday before the 2nd round of Winter league on the Sunday seen myself at the Waterside Pub side practising with my Greenhill AC piscatorial, John Kilby who has been fishing very successfully local Leicestershire commercial pools but he fancied a change. He expressed a great interest in fishing canals and rivers and expanding his skill set, he certainly did as Top Wigston Rod Joe Oakes gave John an hour of his time …… massive learning curve for John as Joe soon had him bagging.

The River Soar Winter League started and myself and recruit to Midlands angling supplies John Kilby took time to study and observe several sections of the days competition. We started at the Navigation section on the pub side and later visited the 1860 length.
