Saturday Landsend open

This is my last Saturday off now as due to some staffing changes in veals I will now be working on Saturday,s and having Thursday's off, back with the over 55,s coffin dodged matches, which is ok as they are a good bunch, but I will still have the choice of huntstrete, shiplate, Harescombe or viaduct, so that's ok then, only downside is not being able to have a day with Judith, which we have enjoyed with us both being off on Saturday,s.
But today I fancied Landsend as it's a favourite venue of mine, but at the mo it is definitely aquatic bingo with all the carp being at one end, pretty much the same as ever other venue this winter, so one of three pegs would do, 11\13or 15, so after one of di,s lovely 4.75 brekkie,s it was draw time, first into the tin and out comes 21, oh well another silver,s day it was then, the favoured pegs went to Steve seagar on 11, russ(van gogh)peck on 13, but in all fairness Mike duckett drew it for him, then Derek beard , one of the pawlett clubs finest was on 15.
For company I had mr duckett on 19 and Rob watts was on his favoured peg 24 LOL again.
21 can be ok for silvers , especially some of the lakes skimmers which seem to like this area.
So pretty much the same rigs as Sunday, a couple of .3g as4 rigs, one for 13 mtrs at the bottom of the far shelf, another to fish maggot over micros off to the right at 14 mtrs , one for under empty pellet 22, but it never have me a bite so no more on that waste of a book then, then another for the 6mtr line,
Got to mention the mosella bobble hats which certainly kept my head warm today, and for those who don't like the bobble it is detachable which is useful.
Well I've ended up having an enjoyable day, fishing caster on all the relevant lines, catching a few skimmers with a fair smattering of sensible roach and one good perch of about 12oz, the micro line only gave me 4 small skimmers, caster was definitely the way to go today, with a fairly positive rig, with a bulk and one dropper, it seems to working at the moment , especially on this venue, I ended up with 19.4 which was enough to win the silvers so definitely the correct choice on the day, even if my first fish of the day was a 4.12 carp, but that was the only one I hooked all day.
As expected the other end was the place to be, with russ peck on 13 winning easily with 117lb, catching nearly all his fish dobbing maggot around his peg without feeding, Steve seagar on 11 came second with 56lb and Derek beard was third on 15 with 53lb, weigh sheets below.
Off to viaduct tomorrow for the first match in there tens of 5 winter league, always popular and hotly contested, but I think it will fish quite hard, unless you draw on them, but with russ peck not fishing it , it has freed up a flyer for someone else.
