with the ice finally gone i could leave the breakers at home(good). the water was still going to cold as there was still some ice on the lake the day before. the draw was kind to me and gary wall handed me 15, which is a peg with a lot of options. four rigs, two 4x12 with a 20 808 to .12 one for down the edge to my right by a bush and 1 for 13 mtrs straight out. a 4X14 WITH AN 18 808 iether side 10 and 2 o,clock for pellet and a 4x14 to a 16 for down the edge to 14(empty).
at the start i cupped in caster at 13 mtr and down by 14 aswell as loosefeeding a few by the bush to my right.even though i tried the pellet lines several times during the day, i never had a bite on pellet so thats the last i,ll say about it.
starting at 13 mtr i was suprised when the float went under first put in , but i struck in to thin air, liners me thinks, as it happened several times in the first 30 mins, then i landed a 4 pounder shame it was hooked in the tail though, so i slipped it straight back(yea right any port in a storm)
i lost a couple more foulers shortly after so i started shallowing up, when igot to about 2 feet off the bottom i caught a tench!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, then lost another fouler ,then no bites so back to the bottom and got one in the mouth. a look by the bush and 1 perch later and no more bites again. a look to peg 14 and no indications so back on the 13 mtr line . i landed 4 more on this line 2 in the mouth and two in the fin, so i ended up with 5 carp and afew silvers for about 30 lb. all in all i lost 9 carp , 8 of which were definately fouled so at least the fish are having a bit of a mooch and with temps getting better this weekend i think the fish might have a bit of a pop, apart from tim clarks peg that is.
my 5 carp and silvers went 31.14 for first
2nd was john (the gimp)bradford 26.6 peg 11 and his catch included top silver weight with 17.12 which included 4 tench , 1 bream, 2 ide and some perch
