Plantation silvers match

Back down to kingston Seymour again for another match on the main lake at plantation fishery, still the best and most consistent lake for silvers we have in this neck of the woods, but with a couple of nights of minus 2 to 4 not to sure how it would be today, nice breakfast in the bridge in yatton, very nice as long as you dont have the sausages and have extra bacon instead, so (4.65), got the draw underway on time, shame des said he wanted peg 1 today, just to prove a point, he shouldn't have said it , as ,yes you probably all guessed it , peg 1 for him again, three times on the trot, i very nearly felt sorry for him, only nearly though 😂😂. ryan jordan drew.for me and handed me peg 32, nice peg on a bit of a point on the far side, although not been to good recently, but the peg is always capable of turning on. I had mark broomsgrove on my right, and gary bowden on the point over to my left,peg 38. i set up three rigs, a .4g for a double rig for 13 mtrs, straight out in the reflection of a tree stump, and to my right into the reflection of the island, a lighter .3g for the same.line and short, and another lighter rig to fish to my left and in front at topset and 2.
At the start i cupped in a ball of groundbait on the two longer lines and began feeding caster short on both short lines. Started short as sometimes if you catch short straight away, it can be really good, but not today, not a touch from either line, so out to the right hand long line, 8oz skimmer first drop then a roach , then a bit of a wait for another small skimmer, after.that it has been an enjoyable day, rotating round all lines, out of the longer lines, the right hand one was the most productive, and the out of the short lines the left hand one came good towards the end with some quality roach up to 8oz turning up, on the all out i thiught i had done ok, i was in a position to see much of the lake, to access what had been caught, i would have liked to have thought i had hight teens, i reckoned on dave willmott on 5 doing the best as far as i could see i started weighing on 1 with des putting 16lb of nice roach on the scales, got to dave willmott on 5 and he had just under 21lb, i didnt think I had that although it may be close, dave was still top when we got to me , luckily i had a good last hour on the short raoch line and my net went 22.10, for first, so happy days,
The weights were down today but that was hardly suprising as it was bitter all day, but everyone has had some bites and caught some fish. Weigh sheet below as normal.
