match 5 float only avalon

as martin rich always moans that i get flyers and he gets shit i let him draw for me and he pulled peg 3 on the speci lake. not to bad as its in the middle of the island and quite a good peg section wise. for company i had aton page who insists on singing along to his i pod which wouldnt be to bad if he had a better choice in music and not michael bubbley and take that and the other side was steve evans who helps run the league and makes my job a lot easier cos he is proper organised. back to the match and i set up the usual 4x14 rig for hard pellet on the deck , up in the dibber 4x12 and two wags one shallow and one deep. on the whistle and a quarter pot of 6,s at 16 mtr and a few 8,s to the island. i decided to start on the pole which in hindsight may have been i mistake as anton went straight on the wag and had one almost straight away. i persevered for a while longer on the pole but never had a bite while anton had another so i think i probably missed the boat for those early sucker fish,which may of cost me come the end.
unfortunately the venue isnt fishin as well as it can probably due to the heavy colour that seems to kick up from the bottom giving the water a very grey colour.judging by the shouting and moaning it was fishing really hard. i went on the wag shallow after 45 minutes but it still took me half an hour to get a fish but it was a decent fish over 10 lb, 30 minutes later i had another but anton had 3 by now . i tried the deep wag but i couldnt even get a liner on that. back on the pole and i missed a bite , a couple of minutes later and another bite which resulted in a 2lb skimmer in the tail then a liner and a fouled carp which didnt stick then nothing so back on the wag.its a good 40 mtr chuck here and it was one of those days when you had to throw it into the reeds to stand any chance of a bite, but you just got to keep going hoping for the odd bite . by the end i had had 4 carp and a skimmer unfortunately anton had had 6 so i gave him the quid before the weigh in. it had fished really hard and the match was won by paul(beaver)elmes on peg 23 with 61.2 on pellet shallow on the pole and paste in the margin. fromes finest andy lloyd was 2nd off peg 22 speci lake 52.01 on the pellet wag.
