An overdue catch up

Before i report on the fishing , a sad announcement, we lost another local star this week, unfortunately lance tucker who was an angling legend in the southwest, died suddenly at the start of the week, thoughts and condolences to the family from judith and me, he will certainly missed.And he won his last match which was the clevedon xmas match on the river kenn with a 7lb bream.

First match was a week ago at plantation on the main lake , silvers only, 18 fishing so a nice number affording everyone a bit of room, social distancing draw done and i ended up on peg 2, nice swim as its got a nice new wooden platform, , i had a nice days fishing catching 3 decent skimmers and the rest roach for 23lb and 4th on the day, dave wilmott winning off permanent peg 7 with 27lb, followed by lee waller with 26 then chris fox had 24, so a good close frame with most recording double figures, weigh sheet below.

Sunday and it down to viaduct for round three of the silvers league, i have no chance of doing any good in the leafue as i will miss three rounds so iwas just there to try and do well on the day, peg 88 was my home for the day, it can be good , but not today, 13lb, but a second in section double default section pick up softened the blow, LOL 😂. No weigh sheets availab!e as the fishery seems to have stopped posting them, and as far as i am concerned this was probably my last visit to the fishery for the foreseeable as no one can book anything other than Campbell lake for matches , the winterleague teams of 5 has been cancelled, i thing the spring league may go the same way, i normally had two rounds of my float only league on Campbell and cary , but there are no more bookings being taken for cary so i have had to go elswhere, a bit sad really, but onwards and upwards as they say. Monday and it was back to plantation for another silvers match, and it didnt dissapoint, i drew one peg further along from the last time, and again had a really good day, ending up with 28lb , a few decent skimmers and lots of roach, lovely fishing, dave willmott seems to have it sorted as he won again off permanent peg 11 with 32lb, which was 4 good perch to over 2lb and the rest was roach, all on caster at 7mtrs, 2nd was trig with 31lb and me 3rd with 28lb, then there was a couple of 24lb. Leon Hubbard and mat tomes, and again all had double figures, it is probably the best silvers fishery around at the mo, as its impossible to predict where the winner will come from, showing how unpeggy it is. lastly today and it was off to windmill for another Silverfox open, 16 in attendance and the draw put me on peg 12 which is on its own at the far end of the lake, its the shallowest peg on the lake, but it was still 6foot deep.

Fed for silvers in several spots and corn for carp in one spot, well i never had a silver of any description all match, i had 4 carp on corn at 13 mtrs, and anothe 4 at 16mtrs on maggot, made.a.grave.error in not going out to 16 mtrs earlier i should have even though i couldnt see my float to well as the sun went round directly in front, and the ripple was enough to make it hard, dave willmott won again over on peg 10 with 80 of maggot caught carp at 13 mtrs, well done

mike nicholls was 2nd with 41lb with me third with 36lb, top silvers.went to dave.poole with 7lb, weigh sheets below, for anyone who is looking for a match on monday, i am running one at acorn again, 8.30 draw, message.me.or give me a ring at premier angling on 01179867507, todays weigh sheet below.
