it was good to have my usual travelling partner back again,(dean mr angry malin) i have missed the wind up as he is so easy. they say owners look like there pets , and he was saying that his kids are suggesting he buys a vietnamese pot bellied pig, i,ll say no more. back to the draw and martin alexander drew me peg 13 i was more than happy and really fancied it as i have caught there before letting a dibber run with the flow around the end of the island . so 4 rigs today , 4x12 impact 10 for in the flow , 4x10 impact 1 for on the island when the aerator goes off , the same float for the right hand margin with double corn and a 4x12 impact 6 for the left against the tree,s. at the start i potted in 6,s to the left at 13 mtrs , corn and caster 5mtrs to my right , and fired 6,s into the flow at 16 mtrs. beginning in the flow it soon became apparent that it wasnt going to work this time, and with the aerater timed to run till 3 which was 2 hours in my cunning plan looked like a non starter, and by the time the aerater stopped all i had to show was 3 chub and 1 small carp from under the tree,s to my left, it took about 15 minutes for the water to stop moving, and when it did i went to the corner of the island on hard pellet and started to get indications staight away, and began putting odd carp in the net. the problem with catching on the deck in shallow water is foulhooking, i like to have 1 x no11 shot down the line with rest of the shot under the float. by moving around the three swims i kept putting fish in the net, but the lost 2 hours at the start would probably cost me. the problem with peg 13 is that you cant see whats going on due to the island and bushes so apart from pete notton on peg 11 who was getting a few once the water jet had stopped and steve tanner on 15 who was catching well on paste towards the end.
walking round to do the scales it looked as though the up and coming young gun known to his friends as jamie dyke sorry i meant dyte (no i never ha ha)was going to win as he had caught 29 carp on the old solvite rig, and he did with a weight of 122.10 on peg 5 fishing over to the island 2nd was mark leader on peg 21 with 112.5 also on paste(and with only one rod)
i was third with 108.12 all caught properly lol
son and father act were 4 th and fifth luke tanner(son)100.1 peg 19 and steve tanner on 15 with 76 lb
then last in the frame was the past master t wittcomb(no i didnt forget the E)71.6 peg 1, 2 and 23(just 1really) silvers went to the gimp with 17.7 on peg 3 and he even used 14 mtrs of pole with casters
i dont know if jamie was telling the truth or not but he did claim to have had a couple on pellet but i think it was bullxxxt
gary glitter,s old paper boy and ever cheerful fishery owner mike duckett has now imposed an 80 lb max per net , mainly due to the fact that people take the P and dont seem to understand that these fish are very exspensive to replace , or they dont care! likewise viaduct has the same net limit , but if you overstep it there 3 times you will find yourself on a months ban
cant finish without a mention of fabs (phil harding)seems his girlfriend the lovely M dont like the budgie flapping cos it scares her, how does she manage manage with fabs cos i aint seen nothing flap as much as him when he is stressed lol
