another good turnout, we had 22 which must show the weather is on the up, but not today as we had rain to start to be followed by an increasing westerly gale, after sunday i fancied a bit of a peg with some shelter cos i,m still suffering from the man flu (no sympathy please), i let mike duckett draw for me about halfway through the draw and lucky for me he found the ticket with 2 staples in it(thats a joke by the way mr anon) so i ended up on peg 11 in some flat water, i had fabio opposite on 13 so at least i had some one to talk to,lots of options today so i set up a 4x14 for caster at 7 section, a 4x12 for corn to my left to the empty pallet which was a waste of shot and line as i never had a bite there, a .3g for soft pellet over micro,s to my left at 16 mtrs down the middle and at the front of the island, and a 4x14 for banded 6mm over 4,s at 16 mtrs against the end bank. after feeding all lines i began on the caster line at 7 sections and i was suprised not to get a bite straight away, it took all of 15 mins to miss the first one but after that i started to get regular bites on single and double caster over kindered caster, only feeding a few after each fish, and the fish were all quality with good ide, skimmers and perch, 2 hours in and i thought i had about 20lb in the net so i fed a reasonable ammount of caster through a big cup and explored the other lines, by now i had stopped trying to talk to fabio asd he had turned into a right miserable bugger sat there moaning and cursing as he had lost some good silvers, he was even thinking about packing up and going, even the lady in the cafe reckoned he had his miserable head on ,
any way a look on the soft pellet line at 16 mtrs to my left gave me one bite which was a rather skinny golden ghostie of about 2lb, the front of the island gave me no bites so that was the end of the soft pellet action, over to the end bank on banded 6mm, that was a bit better as i had 2 quick bites and 2 near 4lb carp were duly netted but again there were no more bites to be had there, i did try the pellet lines a few more times before the end but there were no more indications on iether, so concentrated on the caster line up to the end and had some nice fish.
walking down to do the weigh in the only person on our lake who had caught some fish was tom mangnal on 19 who was admitting to 10 carp on corn fished at about 11 mtrs, the speci lake had been tough with tom thick being top weight on there with 42lb
so the first spot went to tom mangnal with 68.4 peg 19
2nd was me with 49.15 which included the top silvers on the day with a very enjoyable 40.10 peg 11
3rd tom thick 42.15 peg 33
4th howard wedd 42.6 peg 3 , 8 carp on the lead and meat
5th jnt dale howsen peg 31 and martin lenaghan peg 7 both with 31.3
