The weekly three

Even later.this week, had issues getting any pictures sent from my phone, think ive sorted it know, time will tell. Thursday and it was the costcutter at Shiplate, nice breakfast at the fishery, just wish the weather would warm up a bit as the food goes a bit cold before i can eat it, (4.7), mark,s getting there. 13a for me today, out and out carp today, due to numbers of silvers anglers there it makes it hard to do both , so only set up a shallow mugging rig, a depth pellet for 14 mtrs, a short meat rig and a margin one, oh and nearly forgot a wag for pellet on the deck at 25 mtrs. Not really to much to say to be honest, it was a hard day for all, i ended up with 6 carp and a tench, two carp and a tench on the depth pellet rig at 14 mtrs, one i managed to mug, and three on the wag,i managed.to forget to take my rods(age thing)luckily for me, john had his old series 7 pellet wag rod in the shed, covered in cobwebs, he doesnt own a waggler, his lead rod is well battered though, anyway my 6 carp and the lonesome tench went 53.10, it was nearly enough, mark jones over on peg 1 managed.to slap out 7 carp which went 54.9, so second it was then,i may have had a few more on the wag but the dreaded willow fluff severely hampered rod and line fishing on our bank, and the sivers.went to the old campaigner,(he will like that) pete zimniak pn peg 11 with 18.12, edging out the nearly as old nigel bartlett on peg 10 with 18.8 .

sunday and i was fishimg as a guest with the psv club at todber on homeground lake, judith came along for the ride today as i told her it was going to be a nice day weather wise, but as normal with todber it never ended up like that, she was under the Brolly all day as it rained for most of the match,peg84 for me and its been a fairly simple match, topset and one straight in front just beyond the nets, caught on and off for the whole match, even shallow for a while towards the end, ended up with 5 nets in the water with between 50 and 60lb in each net, i wasnt to far out as i ended up with 278lb for second again, well done to ryan Jordan on peg 87 with 311 lb, well done matey, for some reason i couldnt catch in the margin,

Monday and the sedges for the weekly silvers match, brick lake today and as long as i dont draw a corner, as it can be a bit carpy, so breakfast done(4.8) and draw time, into the bucket and out comes ping pong 10, corner peg with the wind hacking in, could be a bit expensive in the hooklength box.

Always going to be carp here, but i hoped the skimmers woukd follow them , so i set up to fish 5 and 11 mtrs, the wind was going to make it hard to go longer, but being and end peg i didnt feel i would need to go any further, two rigs, a .6 and a .8, an 18 hook on the lighter rig and a 16 on the heavier, at the start i fed two balls at 5 mtrs and three at 11mtrs, both with a few casters and a small ammount if chopped worm, started short and was into 6/8 oz skimmers from the off, by swapping between the two lines i have again caught on and off all the way through, fish from 4oz to 2 1/2lb, and ive probably hooked 20 carp, landing a few but losing the majority, ive had to send the hooklength box off for therapy, ended up with just over 50lb, with martin tizard Opposite on 11 coming second with 40lb, so obviously the fish had followed the wind.
