float only lge last match, viaduct fishery

a full house today so 40 split between cary and cambell with a draw on the latter being favourable, i let tim clark draw for me today and he didnt dissapoint as he handed me peg 115 which is in the middle of cambell and it seems the fish are here in numbers according to fishery manager paul greenwood and fishing long and shallow on the pole being the way to go. oh yes and tim drew 90 on cary for himself (bummer). i had no chance of getting into the league money even with a section win so a pick up on the day was all i could do, for company i had chris davis on 116 and adrian jeffery on 114.
i set up a 4x14 rig for 5 mtrs and hard 6,s over 4,s with an 18 b960 on .14, and 2 rigs for 14mtrts ,one up and one down both with 16 b960 hooks on .16.
i should have known better than start on the silvers as it never really happened, i did get 3 tench and a couple of skimmers but i also lost 4 fouled carp, and i was behind fabio on 112, niel mercer on 111 and young joe mcmahon on 123 who had gone staight out shallow and were catching from the off, also league favourite on 135 shawn townsend was catching well, so i threw the silvers rig into the reeds and went out shallow, and thats where i spent the rest of the match ,catching 10 inches deep on banded 8 over loose fed 6,s ending the match with 40 ish carp for over 200lb and with shawn admitting to about 240lb i thought he may just edge it. when the scales got to me joe mcmahon was winning with 197.3 . luckily my 15lb of silvers and 40 carp went 246.13 for first on the day
