landsend individual lge

my turn for lake 3 today and to be honest there are 3 proper fliers on it, 42,58 and 68 so i was more than happy to draw 42, its got a lot of features as you are on the end of an island with a small bush over the water just up to the left on the island, rigs today would be a 4x16 rig for caster at 6 mtrs with a 18 middy 6313 hook to .10 and 3 4x14 rigs , one for the left hand margin, one to fish by the bush on the island and one to fish in the deeper water off the front of the island, all rigs with an 18 808 to .12 with corn fished over soaked micro,s.
at the start i cupped in some casters at 6mtrs and micro,s by the bush , at the front of the island, at 10,oclock at 14 mtrs as its the same depth as the bush so i can use the same rig and some in the left hand margin.
staight in with caster at 6 mtrs and a 8 oz perch first drop, then a succesion of small roach, so i put on a piece of corn and i found myself attatched to a 10lb common, it took 10 mins to land on the light gear but it dont pay to hurry, i potted some more casters in with a couple of pieces of corn and by the 45 minute mark i had 3 carp in the net for about 25 lb then it went quiet and a strong left to right wind began to make presentation very hard. out to the 10 o,clock peg and a 7 pounder was number 4 in the net so i refed and went to the islandbut couldnt get a bite, and for the rest of the match i never had a bite by the island on the angle or down the edge , the only place was in front of the island but the side wind was making it very hard and i was missing some bites as i couldnt hold the rig still buty as no one seemed to be doing to well on the lake i decided to stick with it, the only threat was dave (beany)westcott on 68 who began getting a few carp to his left by the weed bed.but i had done enough as my catch went 69.10 and a lake win'
the match was won by des,s younger brother vince shipp with 91.1 on peg 13 which also included the top silver weight on the day with29.2 , all his fish being taken on soft pellet out by the aerator and over towards the island.
2nd the ever consistent rod wootten on 33 with 72.5 of banded 6mm hard pellet caught carp
3rd t rixon 69.10
4th nick(birthday boy)duckett 66.11 peg 16
5th mark popplewell 52 peg 21
6th dave westcott 46.8
silvers
vince shipp 29.2 peg 13
mike nicholls 26.12 peg 32
tim(it must have been solid)clark 19.12 peg 26
nick collier is still leading with a 3 point buffer over vince shipp
it was bad enough that i missed tim pallant falling in at viaduct a few weeks ago, now today mike nicholls went rushing into the bushes behind his peg as his roller fell over ,only to forget about the otter fence only to find himself being sent sprawling into a tree ha ha, and it became apparent as to why he doesnt like going to far for his fishing, he was spied in a lay bye on the a38 relieveing himself, that incontinence is a terrible thing but i think you can get man pads for it now mate
