with the match lake fishing hard it was decided we would be better off on lake 3(john,s water) as the previous few matches had shown this lake to be fishing the best with bites all round it. my usual drawbag person (gary wall)drew 42 for me, the last time i drew this peg i won with 130 lb on pellet shallow , but i cant see this working today.
2 rigs one .50 grm with a 20 808 to .10 for caster at 6 mtr and a 4x12 rig with an 18 808 to .12 for corn and soft pellet against the island and 14 mtrs at 10 o,clock as it was the same depth, about three and a half feet.
at the start i started feeding caster at 6 mtrs and cupped some dampened micro,s by the island and on the angle at 14 mtrs.
starting on the caster line i had a bite first drop but missed it never mind there should be plenty of roach there, wrong i never had another bite there , so 30 mins later and i was putting a piece of corn on and shipping the island rig out, first drop and the float went under and the first f1 was on its way to the net, then i had a 5 lb carp then it went quiet so a few more micro,s then out on the angle and another f1 and a carp , so fed that line again and back to the island and another carp and f1. about 2 hours from the end i plumbed up with the caster rig off the front of the island and fed some micro,s there, and by rotating around the three swims i had a nice days fishing apart from the rain which fell all day , but at least it was mild.
mike turned up with the scales at the end, he didnt fish as he tripped over a pile of buckets in the nursery and put his back out. i had a total of 53.13 which included the top silvers weight of 21.15
all the fish being taken on corn over micro,s apart from 1 roach on maggot
2nd alan oram 52.4 peg 51 ,8 carp on maggot and corn
3rd pete sivell 49.13 peg 61 9 carp on maggot
4th gary wall 45.10 peg 66
5th vince brown 35.12 peg 41
6th john bradford 30.00 peg 70
all in all a good close match with any of the top 4 needing 1 fish to win and with most people losing a few it could have gone any way
