short pole match at viaduct fishery

this proved to be a more popular match than i expected, as we were limited to only using a topset and 3 more sections so about 7mtrs for all, it was that popular 50 were booked in so we were using cambell, cary and lodge lakes, with cary being hard at the present a draw on the other 2 would be favourite, and i wasnt dissapointed as i pulled peg 118 which is 2 out of the corner which has been a form peg of late, that swim was occupied by alex murray today so there was little chance of me drawing any fish from that direction ,the other side and on 116 was alan oram , so the anglers either side would be fishing meat so i decided on a pellet approach in front and a meat swim down the edge, so i set up a 4x14 with a 16 b960 for pellet on .16 and a 4x12 rig on .18 for meat down the edge, with the tree,s behind me acting like a wind break i could put the brolly up which was nice as it was pouring down by the time the match started, it didnt take long to get my first carp probably about 3 mins, i was loose feeding 4,s and fishing a 6 in the band, and also all the time feeding a few bits of meat down the edge, the match went really fast as it was enjoyable fishing and easy on the joints a we didnt have to wave 16 mtrs about, the people i could see catching were des shipp on 135, barry fitchew aka black boris on 115 and i expected craig trig edmunds on 110 to be catching, the bankside bush telegraph informed us that the other 2 lakes seemed to be fishing hard with cary certainly being the most difficult, alex on 119 probably didnt have quite so many fish as me but his were of a better stamp, perhaps it was the meat or maybe it was just location that dictates the size of the fish you catch, who knows,in the end it was that man des again who took top spot on 135 with 225.11 of mainly meat caught fish, out in front ,then down the edge towards the end
2nd craig edmunds on 110 with 184.8 again on meat
3rd barry fitchew 179.03 on 115 again meat
4th chris davis 160.12 peg 59 again meat
5th alex murray 157.10 peg 119 again meat
