weds open chilton trinity, woodland lake

only 11 fishing today so we had every other peg, well nearly, i let misha draw for me and i ended up on peg 9, for company i had roger andoniou on 7 and kev molten on 10.
i set up a shallow and deep pellet rig to fish hard 8,s and 6,s at 13mtrs both had a b960 size 16 hooks for banded pellet, and a 4x14 rig for meat down the margin to my right for meat so i had an 18 xedion hook on .16 line.
at the start i cupped in some meat down the edge and some hard 6,s at 13 mtrs, and went out on the deep rig with a hard 8 in the band, it took a while to get a bite but by firing some 6,s over the top by the end of the first hour i had 5 average size carp (4lb) and a skimmer, the only other person i could see catching was ryan summerhayes on 23 who had sold his soul to the devil and was catching carp on the method feeder with a boilie on the hook !!!!. by the end of the first hour i started getting liners so i went out on the shallow rig and had another 20 carp in the next 3 hours with some fish going nearly 10lb, fabio on peg 2 was catching well on meat down his margins also tom thick on 14 was catching shallow as was ryan over on 23 (he must have lost his feeder). with 2 hours to go my fish did a dissapearing act and all i could manage shallow in the last couple of hours were a couple of tench, i did get a couple of carp on the deep rig and 1 down the edge, but my swim had died and its hard to understand why, it could be wind strength change or it was just there time of day to be somewhere else who really knows, fabio kept catching down his edge right to the end so i thought he had beaten me, and he did with 124 .11 and first on the day
2nd was me with 116.12 but i fell foul of the fishery net limit curse again as i had 78.12 in one net and 34.5 in the other and with my silvers 12.7 it would have given me 125.8, hey ho lifes a bitch then fabio claims the hollow victory quid(like i,m bitter but no one to blame but myself)
3rd tom thick 108.8
4th ryan summerhayes 85.1
5th jason radford 73.4
6th john bradford 54lb
silvers
