2 nice days

Sunday and it was off Landsend for a small match on lake three, only 12 but a nice number on thus lake affording all a nice bit of room, breakfast at the fishery was very good, even if i was a piece of bacon short (lol). Sorted the draw and the general concensios, (well i dont think thats spelt right) was that i may aswell just push my kit up to peg 58 as i seem to draw it with lots of regulatory, so becided to let Steve seager draw.for me as he was.the loudest , and yes you've probably guessed that he pulled out peg 58, lots of groans except from me 😁.but it was never going to be cut and dried with some fishery regulars in attendance, and i had one the finest opposite on 55 in the shape of russ peck, just back from a rather non eventful week at whitacres, helped by his willing butler, adrian Clark. As always the peg looked good.

As is usual i set up rigs to fish various parts of the swim, ut apart from one fish up to the weedbed to the right every fish was mugged, i couldn't get a bite on the deck, but with the fish still spawning i wasn't suprised. Even though there were quite a few mooching about, they were.extremely difficult to catch, but as ive said on numerous occasions, these Landsend fish can be some of the most difficult to trick, they have seen it all, but i managed enough.

Ended upmwith 107lb, beating steve.seager on 42 who managed to moan over 80lb onto his hook. Silver,s went to chris fox on 70 with over 15lb of small crucians and f1,s.

Monday and inwas off down the m5 to fish the sedges silver,s match on tile lake. Thefe is a good head of skimmers in this lake , hopefully they had recovered from spawning and would be a bit hungry. Jamie and Denise did the draw and pulled out peg 22 for me, got to the swim to be greeted by dozens of carp on the surface , i just hoped they wouldnt become a problem.

I only.set up two rigs, both .6g one with an 18 guru fi maggot hook on .10, and the other one had a 16 same.patern hook on .12 double bulked. I am never a careful feeder , so at the start i cupped in two balls at 5mtrs, and three balls at 11mtrs, all laced with chopped worm and caster again its been a relatively simple day , swithching between the two lines, and catching a.fish or two off one line, then having to refeed and switch lines, and do the same again,although i had fed some worm, the best bait was without doubt triple dead.red. i thought i may have 30lb by the end , i was first to weigh and was pleasantly surprised to see the needle go round to 42lb, it wasnt till the scales.got to robert parker that i was threatened, but luckily his fish went 37lb, so a couple of nice days, of to todber on Thursday with some of the bristol old boys for a match on ash, looking forward.to that as ling as i dont have to do the weigh in,
