Three

After being on top of the blogs recently ive fallen behind again, so a quickie report on the last three as the results have been posted elswhere already. Last Thursday and Shiplate for the nearly costcutter. (£20), nice breakfast cooked by mark in the hut, very tasty. Drew peg 13a with alan quantrill to my right and old friend jer Salisbury on my left, who was always going to find it tough after he showed me a pint of frozen hemp he had got out of his freezer that morning, shame it turned out to be a bag of frozen peeler crab. i intended to fish corn for the silvers today, but set up all the customery carp rigs aswell, started on corn for a few decent skimmers, alan had caught a few slapping a rig around, there were a few cruising around , and there body language had me thinking they may be muggable, alan had tried but failed, i had to give it a go, they were more difficukt than i had expected but managed 6 good fish in the next two hours before they stayed out if range, cute fish.they were good fish with the biggest going 17.8.

I had neglected.the skimmer line a bit during thus time, so it tooka while to start getting bites again, but they turned up towards the end, i ended with 32lb of skimmers and the 6 carp went 72lb, should have stuck with thesilvers as 40lb won the silvers by ron stark on peg 10, well done matey, the match was won by gary flinders on peg 9 with 179lb.

Sunday and a rare visit to viaduct fishery for a match on Campbell, drew well 112, so a decision was carp or silvers, decided on a silver approach as there had been a lot of the lakes skimmers in this area, so topset and two for corn again, a 13mtr line for pellet and a margin rig for down the left, ive had a nice day day catching some good skimmers on the short line, a few on pellet long , and even had a three in the margins, and of course a few carp thrown into the mix aswell, ended up with a level 60lb of skimmers and 87lb of carp for top silvers weight and also winning the section, cant moan about a bit of double bubble, ben hagg won of peg 132 with over 260lb, well done mate.

Monday and landsend for the gary wall memorial match, 21 fishing so gary let us use lakes two and three, so lots of room, i let tom thick draw for me, i shiukd have known better, peg 3 for me😕😕, then he pulls out peg 13 for himself, so a forgone conclusion really, tom won with 210lb of margin caught fish, i ended up with 155lb, catching on all rigs, meat short , either side in the margins, and some fish from across, ut as everyone who fishes this venue, those far bank fish a buggers to catch, top silvers went the usual way with dave(the night watchman)ings on peg 11 with just short of 50lb, well done all.
