my turn on the match lake today and i must admit i nearly ran to my peg when pete nurse drew 19 out of the hat for me, its a proper flier carp peg nearly all year long so i was confident of catching a few. i set up a caster rig for 5 mtrs a .3g with a 18 6313 on .10 for that, a couple of 4x12 impact 6 floats again with a 18 6313 on .12 for soft pellet straight out at 13 mtrs and each side at 10 and 2 at 14 mtrs, i didnt bother with a up the shelf rig as i didnt think the fish would be on top of the shelf as the lake had been frozen up until last week so i assumed it was still to cold, for company i had adrian jeffery on 17 and dale howsen on 21. at the start i fed some casters at 5 mtrs and some micro,s on the 3 long pole lines, starting on soft pellet at 13 mtrs i missed 2 bites in the first 10 mins then i couldnt get a sign, so 30 mins in i was onto the 14 mtr lines but i was biteless there aswell and 90 mins in i was still blanking, adrian had fouled a carp and landed it plus some nice skimmers on the soft pellet but what was annoying was that dale had 4 or 5 carp up the shelf so i got off my box and made a 4x10 rig to fish caster on top of the shelf, i went back on the 5 mtr line with caster and managed a couple of small roach so i saved the blank, after feeding the far side i gave the long pole lines a try again but i couldnt get any indications which was strange as the peg normally has loads of carp in it giving the angler sat there liners but today there were no signs so i think they wanted to be somewhere else today, well i,m going to stick with that excuse. over onto the caster line and first drop i had a good perch then some roach and lifes most annoying fish SMALL RUDD so i refed and tried the 5 mtr line again and had some more roach with one going nearly a pound plus a tench so things were starting to look up, i went out onto the 10 o,clock pellet line and did manage one carp but that was all i got so i decided to re feed a couple of lines at 16 mtrs towards the gap in the island and by swappind between the far shelf the 16 mtr lines and the 5 mtr caster line i kept adding odd fish right to the end ending with 4 carp plus f1,s skimmers ide and bits and bobs and i hoped i would end up with 30lb plus . i must say i was suprised to put 21.10 of silvers and 4 carp for 18.4 for a 39.14 total and a third on lake
first on the sday went to dale howsen o 21 with 13 carp for 63lb all caught on top of the shelf by the island, got that wrong didnt i !
