viaduct weds open

with 45 booked in ,cambell, cary and lodge were to be used and luckily i drew on cambell peg 121 which is on the cary bank with an empty peg iether side. just goes to show i draw good pegs for myself aswell. rigs today were a solvite rig at 5 mtrs , pellet rigs for 14 mtrs 1 x up(dibber) and 1 for on the deck 4 x 12 bristle 16 hooks on each for hair rigged pellet and a 4 x 10 rig for the empty pallets iether side. at the start i potted in about a quarter of a large drennan cup at 5 mtrs and to the empty pallets each side and half a pot at 14 mtrs. starting at 5 mtrs on the paste i had 3 carp for about 16 lb in the first hour then nothing even the fizzing stopped even though i kept feeding, i think they just bugger off cos you got to play them on top of where you are cathing and i dont think they like it.but as the 14 mtr line had plenty of bubbles i thought it wpould be solid. it was but you couldnt nail them down as to where they were feeding. i was getting what i thought were liners so iwent shallow. no bites, went deep and sread the shot, had a couple and lost some foulers. all this time and the only people i could see catch were lee wheret on 123 catching on paste ,terry bruton on 119 on the wag paul hurn on 126 lead and pellet and steve jackson on 126 pellet deep on the wag.i did have the occasional look to the empty swims each side but apart from 2 tench and 3 lost carp which took me round the legs of the platforms small roach kept dinking the pellets which annoys me tremendously. with about an hour and a half to go i decided to concentrate on the 14 mtr line, going out on the deck i had a couple then had a swirl when i fed so out on the shallow rig and started to get the odd fish so i stuck with it, it was a bit strange though as the fish didnt seem that happy as you would get one then you would have to feed for what seemed like ages to get another bite. looking around the only people that seemed to be catching were jacko and tom thick on 115 who was also getting a few shallow which didnt bode well for the quid i had with him. on the whistle it turned out that cart and lodge had fished pooh and the top 6 all were on cambell, and they are as follows

steve jackson 113.3 peg127 wag and pellet
