2xsilvers

Sunday saw myself and mr fox off to plantation main lake for ron hardiman,s silvers league first round. Stopped at the wessex flyer for all you can eat brekkie, very good too. draw was.at 9 so plenty of time, got to the carpark with loads of time, 18 fishing the league, a nice number on this lake, into the draw and i pull out two tickets, one for me and one for ron, peg 4 (again) for me and peg 5 for ron, so after.the same.peg on Thursday, same.rigs today, but this time i fed the 14 mtr from the off, i think the fish must have known wd are entering a few days of very cold weather, the short line in front gave me.two small roach, the right hand short line was the same as Thursday, i would get one bite or fish than have to leave it, i did get the one pound perch again , i was sure it was the same one as before. 11 mtrs was slow but oo for odd small roach and small skimmers for a while, then again the best line was 14 mtrs, some better skimmers and roach, i could see martin rayet on 19 was catching from the off but slowed right up in the sexond half of the match, whereas paul elmes on 27 had odd skimmers all through, and kev winstone on 32 had a better second half, the match was won by paul with 26, followed by martin woth 25, then Joe mcmahon on 24 haf a bigger 18lb than kev winstone , my fish went 13 ending up 3rd in section behind martin on 19 and gordon canning on 8, so not to bad, it certainly fished harder than expected, but looking at results lots of venues switched off today.

Monday and back to the sedges for the monday silvers match on the canal today, normal excellent breakfast at the fishery cafe. A bit dissapointing as only 12 fishing, even roy worth was absent. So jamie put every other peg in, into the draw bucket and peg 45 comes out for me, still a good area , but with plenty of room for all anything could happen on what most were expecting to be a hard day, local ace martin tizard on my left and bob c on my right, at the start i fed 5 lines with a bit of loose groundbait with some caster and dead pinkies in it, two swims at 6mtrs left and right, the same at 11 mtrs, then some at 13mtrs whuch was not quite the far side, and fed some caster.to the right in front of a dead reed bed, Started on the right hand short line, first fish was a carp, oh dear. But after that, i have had a nice day, small tench, crucians, roach, skimmers from about two ounces with one about 1lb and another nearly 2lb, two golden tench, one 4oz and the other 1lb, and nust for good measure i had two perch from the right hand weedbed for 4lb, i had nothing from the far bank line, a few fish from the two 11mtr lines, most of the fish csme from the right hand short line, ended up with over 19lb, a lovely looking multi coloured net, second was rob parker on 59 with 12lb.
