Sunday, monday, thursday in brief

Sunday and it was the start of the Landsend winter league, it should have started a few weeks back, but was cancelled due to the lakes having a lid on them. after a good fishery breakfast i got the draw sorted, i let beany draw for me , and i wasnt disappointed, peg 32, far bank of the speci in the corner, ideal left handers peg, i had the pleasure of the fishery night watchman on ny left , dave ings, james (spooner) mathews opposite and mike duckett next to him, started ok on dobbed bread along the end bank, 3 smallish carp in the first hour, then it went crap, no more bread bites, so onto banded pellet along the bank, and meat a couple of mtrs off. 5 more carp and few silvers by the end , 50lb , secind in the natch and second in section, dave nailed it next to me with a few ounces shirt of 100lb, mainly on corn in the shallow water by the island, well done dave. Weigh sheets below.

Monday and sedges.for the Monday over 50,s silvers match, the canal was being used today, 16 fishing so 8 on each bank, into the draw early and ping pong ball 42 stuck to my hand, ideal. I keep it simple on this lake, basically one short line, and two lines on different angles at 11 mtrs, groundbait with some caster and pinkies on all lines, started short with a couoke of small skimmers , and one if about a pound and a quarter, that was the end of the close fishing, by swapping between the two longer lines i added some more small skimmers, a small barbel, a smaller tench and a goldfish, last two hours were terrible, only three small fish, but it fished really hard and managed to win with just over 6lb,

Before the next result, i got to say the new mosella trolley bags are brilliant, even after all thus rain we are enduring , everything stayed nice and dry inside, no need to even do the zip up, the lid has a lip on it which comes down over the top, no water getting in there.

Baxk to plantation main lake for the fortnightly silvers match, 17 fishing, whuxh was a surprise i hqd to negotiate plenty of big puddles and rivers running down roads, i thunk the underside and wheel arches must be clean, i let ryan jordan draw for me, 32 then, ok but there are better ones, at least on thus side of the lake was going to have some shelter from the gales force winds, the anglers opposite were in for a bad day with the weather, its been a bit harder than i expected for me, had keep swapping around the swim to keep fish going into the net, couldnt get a run of fish from anywhere, no big skimmers but good to see lots of 8 to 12 oz skimmers showing all round the lake, ryan jordan won off peg 39 with 28lb, some good quality roach, skimmers and hybrids, plus a some nice perch, an excellent weight from there, and i cant remember the last time a match was won from there, for silvers. Mr consistent Dave willmott was second with 27lb from peg 28, sheet below shows that the lake has fished quite well.
