bullocks fry,s series standin

we went to bullocks for brekkie, but it wasnt any where as good as shipham, live and learn.
into the draw bag and out came 26, pete sivell,s favourite peg and certainly a possible match winning peg. its got a weed bed on the right, an island in front at 12 mtrs and some open water to target the fantails and crucians aswell. 3 rigs all 4x10 impact 6 floats, one with an 18 6313 to .10 for the silvers, the other 2 were on .16 with an 18 xedion hook to fish by the weed bed and to the island. on the whistle i cupped in dusty green g bait at 8 mtrs in the open water then some soaked micro,s and corn by the weeds and to the island.
out with a 4mm jelly pellet at 8 mtr over the g bait and the first fantail was soon in the net, soon to be followed by a second, then a couple of missed bites saw me reachinc for the corn, sorting out the small pieces and slightly squashing it several more followed i also started putting some of the soaked micro,s on and that was good for a while but as expected tha bites slowly slowed right up , then phil,s stocking of "quality"roach turned up so about 2 hours in it was time to check the weed bed , so on with a piece of corn and i lowered it in next to the weeds, oops first fouler gone,the weed bed was solid with fish , i could see tails and backs in the weeds sunbathing, i was getting lots of liners , but they didnt seem to want to settle yet, i did manage a couple of small carp about 2 lb but i lost a good fish which i foulhooked and played for several minutes in 25 and 24 pegs before i finally lost round to my left in some snags underwater(that dont normally happen at bullocks does it).about 4 hours in the fish began to show a bit more interest and the peg was getting better but i was still loseing nearly as many as i was landing, but they were on the small side, unlike john macey on 24 who was now catching on paste at 13 mtrs , and they were big fish aswell, certainly up to 10 lb, the word on the bank was that it wasnt fishing to well, and the fancied pegs on north pool werent producing so i got my head down and by the end had about 12 carp and some silvers.
my sivers went 11.4 which turned out to be top silvers on the day and the carp went 31.5 for a total of 42.9, but it was only good enough for 2nd overall as john macey,s fish went 54.5 and a comfortable win.
3rd was venue regular kieth firks on north pool 6 with 30.8
4th steve preece 29.12 peg 24 north pool, if any one gets the chance ask him for his take that impression he sounds and dances just like gary barlow
5th martin rich 29.12 peg 8
6 th marvelous merv sivell 20.1 on north pool 8
2nd in the silvers was dean malin with 9.10 on 18 match lake
i really ought to go to bullocks more often as i never seem to get a bad peg there
