First of three

Landsend today on lake two and three, 29 fishing so everyone would have a bit if room, except for steve seager who drew peg 6 with 5 and 7 in, ut i dont think he moaned to much😂😣. travelled with chris fox, we managed.to social distance in the van so no problems there, we had breakfast baguettes ordered, bacon , sausage, egg and black pudding, must say it was excellent, so a 4.8 definitely. I got the draw underway on time, so i waited for a real drawbag merchant to pull my peg, so when joe McMahon arrived at the bucket, i just new he would be the one, he pulled out two tickets, one each, opened mine to see 58 , my favourite peg on lake three, a proper left handers swim, with a weedbed at 16 mtrs to the right, a corner of the island, a bit of collapsed bank on the island, which is always good, especially with the water levels right up, oh yes i nearly forgot joe drew peg 13 on the match lake for himself, like i said he is a proper drawbag, well done matey.got to my peg with 45 minutes to get ready, so a meat rig for the corner of the island, a pellet rig for just off the weedbed to the right, a pellet rig for the collapsed island bit, and lastly the mugger.rig, as there were some fish cruising in the sunshine, and leon hubbard won off it the day before, and he had managed to mug a lot of his fish, it is a lovely looking peg thats for sure.

I called the all in and picked up the mugger after.feedimg the the three main areas i was going to target, i had a fish quite quickly, but not as quick as i was expecting, in fact the fish proved quite difficult to fool, they were not really interested and i had to keep plopping the pellet on the nose of any fish i saw. There were enough fish mooching about to keep me mugging for the first 4 1/2 hours, then the last 90 minutes were spent on the collapsed piece of island and down by the weedbed . I only had one f1 on meat and lost another. An interesting day, but quite difficult, by the end i knew all about it, chasing fish with up to 16 mtrs of pole constantly twisting , turning and shipping in and out, its gettimg harder thats for sure, but i would still do it all again tomorrow, its a favourite way of fishing for me, catching a fish you are actually targetting visually. By the end I new I had over 100lb, i was hoping for 130 ish, but was more than happy when my nets went 160lb, joe McMahon was second off his flyer.with 102lb

Top silvers.was taken by ray white on peg 41 with 21lb of mainly small crucians, weigh sheets below, off to shiplate tomorrow for number 2, 42 fishing over three lakes, looking at the forecast a nice sheltered peg out of the wind will do me, unfortunately joe mcmahon wont be there so i will have to draw my own flyer.
