Monday silver,s , sedges fishery

Back down to bridgwater for this popular monday fixture, meant to be on tile lake but with 26 booked in we had an overflow onto brick. Jamie and denise got the draw on time, and i was more than happy to see ping pong ball 38 come out for me, right lake and right area. As always the lake looked really good, not much in the way of ripple, not to worried about that.

Only two rigs , both .6g wire stem patterns , one with a 16 guru maggot hook on .12 for worm, and the other with the same pattern but an 18 for maggot. I intended to fish at 5 and 11 mtrs, it was the same depth within a few inches, with it being slightly deeper at 11 mtrs, but i mark my line with a marker and switch between the line depending on which line i was going to target. At the start I cupped in two balls of groundbait at 5 mtrs and three at 11 mtrs, starting short i didnt have to wait too long for my.first skimmer on triple red, followed by two more quite quickly, then it went quiet there so i went to 11 mtrs and had a skimmer, then hooked a carp. I had put a ball in short before going long, so dropped back short, this time with half a dendra on the 16 hook, and another skimmer, and that set the pattern for the rest of the match, nipping odd skimmers from each line, and losing plenty of carp, i think i lost over 20 but did land a couple of small ones, but there were some proper units mooching about. With just over an hour to go i had a bit of a purple patchnat 11 mtrs, when i had about 8 good skimmers on the trot, then the carp muscled there way back in, but i still managed a couple more Skimmers.towards.the end, the whistle went and i reckoned on having about 45lb which is a nice days fishing, when the scales got to me steve.kedge.was.winning with just over 45lb, i thiught it would be close, but my fish went 52lb to win, and more importantly the quid off mr kedge.

i took the picture of the tile weigh sheet, but the drick sheet seems have dissapeared from my phone, but top weight on brick was taken by ade bishop on peg 8 with 18lb.

As for kedgey, i was a bit concerned about his car, i dont think it was a good idea parking there , just in case they came to collect the skip, i would of hoped they didnt make a mistake 😂
