float only rnd 2 landsend

Still a good turnout , 40 fishing today again so with all 3 lakes being used I wasnt to sure as to where I fancied to draw , I let tim clark do the honours for me and he handed me peg 3, not a peg of choice, mike nicholls was on it on Wednesday and really struggled,  bit looking on the bright side at least the swim had a rest, the carp on tgis lake were having a bit of a spawn and you never really can tell as to how the fish will react, the carp seem to still want to eat a bit but the silvers dont want oir baits, they much prefer carp roe.
for company I had clayton hudson on 1 and john turkey thompson on 5.there were a few fish cruising so a stalker rig was put together , which is a .2g j13a on .16 with a 16 b960, I set uo a .1g to fish tight over towards the island , and a couple of on the deck pellet rigs , one for 5mtrs and one to fish down to empty peg 2, to be honest I fave both the deep pellet rigs a couple of goes but never had a bite on either,  so I wont be wearing my thumbs by mentioning them again.
I started on the stalker rig and spent the majority of the match on that method, the carp were a bit deeper than normal, probabaly about 15 inches down , so spotting fish was at times quite hard, but I have good polaroids which helps, I had an interesting match finishing with 24 carp for over 100lb, I had 18 stalkers and 6 against the island, I could see I had won the section , with joe mcmahon on 6 the only threat as he had a good last couple of hours, clayton would have done well on peg 1 if he had left the blackbird food in the bag and fished pellet, but he likes murdereing worms .
in the end it fished reasonably well with 7 weights over 100lb, with gary oshea on peg 33 leading the way with 125.1.
