Culpins ripoff league, rnd 4

Baxk to Summerhayes today for this match, but not before a stop at lillypool cafe for breakfast, thanks ladies for opening up early for us, food was excellent and hit, so a 4.9 it is then. Mat got the social distancing draw underway, and i did the recording of names, i must say i was glad to peg 23 on longs get pulled out, that pleasure fell to rich lovering, who was taking the mick out of me vefore the draw as i did bad off it last time, Fairplay to him he did manage a lone carp from it, definitely a bad peg. Organiser mat managed to get peg 23 on sellicks, which had carp all over it, he would have to do well to avoid a good weight today, and league leader dave romain drew the same lake but peg two. I couldn't see him making any mistakes from there. mat pulled out peg 5 on longs for me, its a nice looking peg, just coming out of a wide bit , so i could reach across with 14.5 mtrs.

Pegs 7 & 8 normally are.the ones to beat in this bit as there is a big lilly bed between them with plenty of reed cover aswell. But everyday is different. I set up a meat rig for the margins but nothing on that , so no more about that waste of meat. a maggot rig for 11 mtrs, a pellet rig for across, left and right of centre towards some mud banks, and lastly a bread dobbing rig for across amonst the foliage.

On the whistle i fed some maggots at 11 mtrs but after that went straight across on the bread, fishing it about 12 inches off the deck, i had a small carp first put in, second put in i bumped one, then i had to work around the weed getting odd bites, i stayed with it as no one was getting much in my section, after a couple of hours i couldnt get an indication onnthe white stuff , so i started feeding pellet left and right across but only had one fish fromnthe right hand side, i did get 4 carp and a hybrid from the 11 mtr maggot line, i also made a rig to fish maggot at 14 mtrs straight across, and i did get three more carp in the last hour at 14 mtrs on maggot, i thought i had done enough to win the section as i new i had over 40lb, mike nicholls probably had the most of the others in the section, and so it proved, i had 46lb, for the needed section win , mike was closest with just over 30lb, the match was won on sellicks by the consistent Sam Powell on 21, with dave romain on two coming second with, 64lb giving hi 4 section wins, so well done dave. Mat culpin wandered along the Carpark to give me his quid as he had managed to avoid the carp to only have 14lb, well done mat 😂😂😂😂😂. Weigh sheets below.
