landsend individual league rnd 5

poor mat tomes he had 2 perch at landsend saturday for 12 lb but due to a strict no publicity thingy at the fishery he will never be able to claim the record, he really ought to go to specsavers and change his gok wans for glasses slightly less powerful than the hubble telescope. also just got to mention bob blackmore the pylle marsh pensioner, he came into the shop and was gazing at the groundbait on the shelf, asking me to let him know what sort i had been using as no where on the shelves could he find a make called g bait, i hope i never get old.
back to landsend and today being match 5 means it was a random draw , so into the bucket and out with 33 on speci lake , its a corner peg and always good for some fish. next door was bela bakos on 34 which has been the boss peg for weeks, so i was looking at 2 nd in section as bela is always capable of getting a few. opposite on 32 was anton page so i would be trying to get my quid back from weds. only 2 rigs today, both impact 6 floats 4x14 the left hand margin was with .16 to a 18 xedion hook , and the open water peg towards the aerater in front and on the angle at about 1.30. at the start i cupped in some 3mm pellets and some corn on all 3 lines. first drop in by the aerater and a fouler which came off , next drop , another fouler but landed it , 7 lb mirror in the wing , onto the angle and a fouler landed tail first then another lost one , end of the first hour and 2 foulers landed and 3 lost, and bela had only had some small roach, so me thinks they may have moved , even anton opposite was struggling with only a few sivers in the net, i stuck to the usual feeding pattern , every time i caught one i would feed that spot and go to the other, with all my fish coming from in front of the bubbler or on the angle all with corn on the hook, the left margin only produced 1 hooked carp which came off and it was a right snagpit so i didnt spend to much time there, i dont know if my age or what but it seems to be getting harder and harder to wave 16 and 17 mtrs about, my shoulders really ache after fishing now, it wont be long till i,m like the gimp and only taking 4 mtrs to a match .
by the end i had caught 15 carp to about 16 lb which went 133.9 and first
2nd dale howson 59.2 peg16 and soft pellet
3rd anton page 53.5 peg 32 and corn(and got my quid back)
4th vince shipp 46.10 peg 86
5th larry burns 46.8 peg 21
6th pete noton 43.7 peg 54
silvers tom thick 17.00 on peg 22 , skimmers and f1,s on soft pellet
2nd ken rayner 13.8 on peg36
and how did bela get on , 3 carp for 25 lb just goes to show they do mve sometimes, he didnt do anything wrong , they just didnt want to be there today.
