The last three

Landsend on sunday for a silvers match on lake 2, took jason Radford with me , but still only 10 fishing, normal tasty breakfast at.the fishery cooked by sharon, ade got the draw underway on time, and most wanted pegs 11 or 13 as thats where the fish have been holed up recently, peg 13 came out for me , happy days then. Had two fishery legends for company, rod Wooten on 11 and dave ings on 15, the silvers on here are basically anything but proper carp, so f1,s, crucians, tench(small) skimmers, roaxh, rudd and perch, and you need to have several swims on the go and keep feeding and rotating all of them, so thats what i did, fed a variety of baits in all swims, from pellets on a line towards the end bank to my left, two shirt caster lines left and right, loose groundbait at 11 mtrs and maggots at 14, to be fair i caught on all lines initially, but as soon as i started cupping in loose groundbait on all lines sport improved, single maggot or caster on the hook doing the business, caught all the above species for a nice days fishing, the only fish i had over a pound were a few skimmers, so a nice day, ended up with 25lb, only.good enough for second as stu white on peg 20 had over 30lb, shame there wasnt a few.more as it fished well as the sheet shows.
Monday and the sedges for the monday silvers match, drew peg 39, caught 12lb, shoukd have done better, martin tizard won with 16lb from peg 35 , maggot on a small open ender, just beating steve kedge into 2nd who had a smaller 16lb, a hard day for all.
And today(Thursday)plantations mane lake for the fortnightly silvers match, james travis drew peg 4 for me, happy enough, mike nicholls on my left and andy wride on my right, 19 fishing which is one to many. Fed and fished three lines to begin with, topset and two, deep margin to my right and 11 mtrs straight out, it was the first proper cold day today, no wind, no ripple made for finick bites, but again. By rotating round i mamaged to keep some roaxh and skimmers going, the bigger skimmers were noticeable by there absence today, about 90 minutes to go i decided to get some more sections out and fed another line at 14mtrs, glad i did as i had some slightly better skimmers with a couple nearly 2lb, it had fished harder than normal ,but not suprising with the cold flat conditions, thought i had about 18lb , im crap at silver weight guessing, i had 26lb 😯😯😂😂. Good enough for third , that man dave (willy)Wilmot won of oeg 11 With 28lb and neil(drawbag) mercer had 27 from peg 8, close weights again as the sheet shows.
Oh yes and thanks for the clean sweep on the £1,s you know who you are LOL😂😂👍👍👍👍
