a decent turn out of 28 today which goes to show that the venue is becomming more popular which has a lot to do with the hard work leigh and vic have put in over the last few years , its still got its doubters but i think it always will but thats there loss as its one of the fairest venues you can get with different pegs winning all the time.
back to the draw and ron hardiman drew for me and gave me peg 1, its a peg i have always wanted to draw but never had till today, another plus today was the fact that i was sheltered from the strong southerly wind which had begun to blow. i began with three pellet rigs today, one at 16mtrs in front and 2 for the right hand margin one on top of the shelf and one halfway down, all rigs on .18 with the usual b960 size 16,s on.at the start i cupped in some 6,s in front and some down the margin. starting in front i had 3 carp and a couple of decent skimmers in the first hour, then i began foulhooking, i tried changing the feeding by cupping ,by catapult by not feeding nothing really seemed to work except fot the not feeding, then i had no bites !!!!!!!!!!!! a qiuick look in the margins resulted in 3 more carp and a tench then that went quiet, so i put in half a cup of 6,s at 16 mtrs , i then had a chat with the dark lord and he advised me to set up a paste rig, so 2 1/2 hours in i duly complied and unfortunately i began adding to my total so by switching between the two lines i managed to end the match with 15 carp and some silvers.
i was first to weigh and my catch went 93.11 for first on the day
2nd went to steve skelton with 74.12 on peg 7
3rd phil(fabio)harding with 73.14
4th alan oram 51.12 peg 12
5th tom mangnall 50 lb peg 17
6th mat fisher 46.4 peg 30
silvers went to fish and field very own blip basher chris derrick with 14.12 of bits and bobs on caster shallow.
yet again dean malin entertained us with stories from his youth the best of the dunch today was about the time dean and a mate kidnapped his neighbours ginger tom and turned it into a mini tiger with the help of an indelible marker, i dont expect the owners were to happy
