rnd 3 float only landsend

with 56 fishing the lge, all 4 lakes were in today with 14 on each lake, so most would get an empty peg on one side, i let mike west draw for me and i ended up on 93 on sydneys(lake 4).
for company i had none other than the mighty fabio on corner peg flyer 94, and with tim ford and fred roberts opposite on 71 and 72 there was always going to be a bit of mickey taking with fabio being on the end of most of it.
several rigs today, a 4x14 on .12 with a 16 6313 for 5mtrs and soft pellet, a 4x12 for the bottom of the far shelf with a 16 b960 on .16. a 4x8 bristle float for against the island and a 4x10 dibber for half depth against the island both rigs on .16 with a 18 b960 for banded hair rigged pellet. at the start i loose fed some soaked 4,s at 5mtrs and started feeding 6,s with a catty towards the island and to the left hand end of the island, straight in on maggot at 5 mtrs and after a couple of small roach it was on with a soft pellet and a run of 3oz skimmers and a couple of small carp, i think i had about 6 carp in the first 90 mins but it wasnt really happening so it was out with a banded 8 in 2 foot of water at the bottom of the island shelf, but apart from a couple of dips nothing happened , with some pellets overshooting and ending up against the island there were fish now showing against the mud on the island, so out with the 10 inch deep rig against the island and i had several quick fish in front and around the side of the island befor it went daft with the fish coming up in the water even in only 10 inches of water so the half depth rig was called into play and i began catching well but with the fish on the small side a framing weight was never going to happen so the section win was my only chance to pick up some coin so by rotating around my island swims i kept the odd fish coming right to the end. the only person in my section who had caught a few was rod wootten on 88. the scales started on tim fords peg, who had 32lb and he was top weight till the scales got rod who had 35 lb but thankfully my catch went 50 lb for top weight on the lake and a usefull section win to keep me in touch with the leaders. the match was won by craig(trigger)edmunds with 100.12 on peg 36 on the speci lake he had 3 early carp at 7 mtrs on soft pellet then he had the rest over against the far bank on banded pellet, and considering the state he was in due to alchohol abuse from the night befor he done well
