landsend open sunday

we had the use of speci and johns water(lake3)today so i wasnt to sure where i wanted to draw so i let ray bazeley draw for me and gave me 38 on the speci , not a peg i would have chosen but hey ho you just make the best of what youve got and get on with it. i set up a 4x14 rig with an 18 6313 on .10 to fish caster straight out at 13 mtrs, and soft pellet at 14 mtrs at 2 and 10 o,clock, it was the same dpth on all 3 lines so it was acase of 1 rig does all. i set up a 4x10 rig on .14 with an 18 xedion for corn and caster up the shelf against the island, but i wont mention that rig again as it only produced 2 roach during the day.
at the start i cupped some soaked micro,s at 2 and 10 and a healthy pot of casters at 13 hoping for some perch. starting at 10 o,clock i had to wait 20 mins for my first fish which was a 10oz skimmer on a 4mm soft pellet, which was followed by 3 more up to 2lb and a carp in the next hour, i did keep trying the 2 o,clock angle but for some reason i never had a bite there, the caster line at 13 mtrs was a bite a chuck from roach between 1oz and 6oz but i did get one of a pound but that was a one off, i hooked one perch of about a pound but the line was wrapped around its fins as i was trying to net it and as the line pinged off it fell off, that was the only perch i hooked, obviously when nick c was on it a couple of weeks ago he must have spooked them by losing loads lol(was that ok matty).
my most popular area was definately the 10 o,clock line where i ended up with 6 good skimmers up to 2 1/2lb and 7 carp to 12lb ,4 on soft pellet and 3 on corn for what i thought would go about 55lb(wrong). my silver net went 17lb and the carp went about 52 giving me a total of 69.12 which was good enough for 2nd on the day, results as follows.
1st bob gullick 73.8 peg 61 johns water , carp on corn at the bottom of the far shelf
2nd t rixon 69.12 peg 38
3rd eddie wynne 64.2 peg 31
4th les williams 55.8 peg 45
5th steve seagar 47.10 peg 33
6th mike west 44.3 peg 68
silvers
stu foale on 41 with 18.10
every peg has its day even 38 especially as they have fins so fish can turn up anywhere making bad good and good bad, mind you if i had blown you would have heard me moaning with the best
