<P>Bread Punch</P>

Punch is simply a piece of bread taken from a
sliced loaf and compressed With a
commercially available tool into a small pellet upon
the hook. For many years bread punch was
one of the favourite methods of roach fishing
on the northern canals. It was primarily a
method of catching numerous smaller fish but
it also accounted for its fair share of large
ones. Through the 1960s, during the maggot
revolution, bread punch fell out of fashion. In
the 1970s it began to re-emerge but only
recently has it become a winning method
again. This renewed interest is reflected in the
tackle shop where there are now several
excellent punch kits for sale.
Further punch literature is not available
but Coarse Fisherman magazine recently ran
an excellent series on punch fishing by the
well-known match angler John Wright. For
hooks John uses Gamakatsu 6315s in sizes 18
down to 22. These are his normal hooks but
if he were to use really large bread punch,
usually when afrer chub, he would switch
to a Drennan forged match hook which is just
that little bit more robust.
For bait, John says, 'You need two loaves
of Mother's Pride, one thin sliced, the other
medium. If the match was being fished on a
prolific venue where the roach are of a good
stamp, then I would get one medium sliced
and one thick. Take a few slices out of each
bag for hook bait.'
The rest of the loaves -- the vast majority
are used to make up the liquidized feed. John
contInues':'The rest of the two loaves go into the
liquidizer, afrer you have removed all the crusts.
Once it has been in the Whizzer, run it through
a maggot riddle and then through a
squatt/pinky riddle. Put the residue back into
the liquidizer and repeat the process. Now
freeze it -- I do mine the day before a match.
Last thing at night, take it out of the freezer
and defrost it! Yes, I know you've only just
frozen the stuff but you see, by freezing
liquidized bread, it seems to separate it and make
it slighhy powdery, unlike freshly liquidized
bread which is very cloggy. By doing all this the
day before a match, the end product still retains
its original fresh, bready smell that roach love.
If you leave it in the freezer for any length of
time it tends to lose its aroma and pulling
power. It's only a small point but lots of lithe
points can add up to a big score and, in the
world of match fishing, that's what makes the
difference between a Winner and the also rans.'
John is certainly a perfectionist and to each
match he also takes his own home-made very
fine brown crumb to use as feed with the
punch method. He describes in detail the way
that he makes his own crumb:
'I am often asked about the method I use to
make my own groundbait so I thought some
may benefit from me explaining this. Believe
me, it's well worth all the time and trouble
spent doing it, as you Will never be able to buy
the like over the shop counter. Stage one.
Firstly, any stale, or left-over bread you
acquire should be dried out naturally. I dry
mine on a shelf in the kitchen, next to the
airing cupboard. I leave mine until it is
completely dried out and is like crisp bread. The
bread that I use varies from sliced bread to
french bread, rolls, brown bread, uncut
loaves, in fact anything so long as it's bread.
When it is dried out, I bung it in a carrier bag.
When I've filled up two or three bags stage
two begins. This is the equipment you'll
need, one oven, one tray, one pair of tongs,
one liquidizer, one large bowl, one flour sieve
afld a couple of bags.
Right, put the oven on to full blast, then
fill it with loaves of bread, placed on the
shelves. When the bread has turned golden
brown, take it out of the oven, using the
tongs (because it gets hot) and place it on the

tray to cool down. Throw away any bread that
gets burnt or black around the edges. Burnt
bread tastes bitter and is no good for our
crumb. When it has cooled down a bit, break
..
it up into small pieces and half fill the
liquidizer. Give it a really good spin and then run
it through the flour sieve into the bowl.
Anything left in the sieve simply goes back into
the liquidizer -- no waste. Repeat the process
until you have finished the whole
consignment. YOu will now have a bowl full of fresh,
pure, extra fine brown crumb. Give the
contents a good stir round and bag it up.'
These feeds John introduces into the swim by
means of a pole cup, the amount depending
on the swim and the conditions. There is far
more to the punch method than I have
included but at least these are the baits
involved. It is interesting to note that what
John says has relevance far beyond match
fishing alone. Recenhy I found some very large
clear river roach that were very wary of any
bait put to them in the normal manner. It was
only when I introduced liquidized bread to
them that they began to show any eagerness
to feed. A large piece of punch drined
through the cloud after one hour of sparing
feeding then did the trick in the shape of a 2lb
loz fish. All this goes to show just how
versatile and successful a bait bread is, and the
angler who uses his loaf thoroughly is bound
to succeed in the end.</P>

于有

今夜，灯花半剪，烛影摇曳。倒一杯菊花茶，伫立窗前，晶莹的菊花瓣，舒展着绵延流长的故事。
　　今夜，我将要收起淡淡的忧伤，我想在梦里，在梦里与我的情人相依相偎，共赴一场风花雪月的约会，用我那浅浅的微笑、用我淡定的优雅、用我如雪的心情，用我飘然的秀发，用我如歌的心语，与你——我的情人，共享一次激情的拥抱。让那春暖花开的心情，在梦里尽情地绽放。
　　今夜，静望夜空，繁星点点，如我寂寞的眼。花瓣轻吐着芳香，传达着无声的低语，有一种想念，丝丝缕缕，缠绕着我无语的心事。你的影子慢慢慢慢浮出我心的水面，想起了你我屏前相守的日子，那种热情、那种专注、那种简单的快乐、那种付出后的感动，就如夏日的阳光，灿烂着，明媚着。遥望远方，你的夜空里是否也挂着一轮明月？
　　你是我的情人，你的每一个细节牵着我的神经，在你的幸福花园里，我贪婪地吮吸着你的甜蜜、聆听着你的呓语，每一个清晨与黄昏，我就像一只扑动着双翅的蝴蝶，用自己最美丽的舞姿，飞舞在我们的心灵花园，舞动着华美的一幕。
　　今夜，月色朦胧。远方悠扬的琴韵，拂动了我凌乱的心弦。夜色中你翩然而止，如一阵轻风，若隐若现、若有若无。总是想起，那个晚上，你用诗一般的文字敲开了我寂寞的心门。一声叹息，轻轻地划过我的心底，杯中的菊花也开得忧伤。
　　你是我的情人，你的每一声呼唤，都令我欲罢不能。不能一天不见你，不能一天不想你。虽然，你不会说那动听的甜言蜜语、你不会唱那缠绵的恋曲情歌，可你，却会用你那绝顶聪明的大脑，想出一些让我欢喜的招术，让我为你写诗，为你歌唱、为你夜不成寐，为你时刻牵念。无论快乐与忧伤，都希望和你一起分享，若是你也能感受我的悲喜，喜欢那些美丽，那便是我的幸福。
　　今夜，天幕深深。回首我们一起牵手走过的日子，那些若即若离的低语，那些暖暖的惦记，那些淡淡的问候，还有那些欢喜的闹腾，都给我平凡的生活增添了梦一样的色彩，像陈年的酒，愈久弥香。
　　我常想，当有一天我们老了，当我们青春不再、当皱纹爬满我们的脸颊，再回到这里，看着这些深深浅浅的情愫，想着一起牵手走过的风风雨雨，又会泛涌起怎样幸福的感觉。很想念你，忽然之间。
