float only , last round, viaduct fishery

With 40 of spread around campbell and cary it was always going to shape up as a bit of a carp fest,  I didn't really mind where I drew as its only 5 peg sections so its all quite fair, jamie parkhouse drew 2 oit so I took one and opened it to see 88, the pretty bush peg. My section ran from 81 to me on 88, the danger peg wouod be 85 but luckily niel mercer was sat on that,  happy days, bit with steve tucker on 87 and mike "ga ga" west slapping paste around on 86 it wasnt going to be cut and dried.  Without wasting to much time whaffeling aboit rigs and the like, the first 4 hiurs were a bit boring really with only 3 carp, 2 shallow on the pole and a wing hooked big common on the wag, niel on 85 was doing the best in the section at this stage with 5 carp, but his swim died a bit, also steve next door was 1 fish up, but with 2 hoirs to go some fish turned up on the 6 mtr meat line, and I finished quite well and had another 12 fish in the last 2 hours ending the mqtch with 15 fish four probably 150lb ish, more importantly it looked as though I would win the section and hopefully that would be enoigh to win the series as I had a bigger weight than the people on he same points as me , time would tell, as expected there would be lots of good weights with craig edmunds on 111 comimg oit on top with 245.15, catching some on pellet long to begin with then on his favourite meat attack at 6 mtrs towards the end
