Sunday and it was the Landsend winter league, my turn on lake 3, but not until i had eaten breakfast cooked by sharon at the fishery, very nice. Into the draw and out comes 55, far end in the corner, wouldnt have chosen it but you got to gonwith the hand you are dealt. Well its been probably worse than i expected, had 3 small carp, one tench and 4 small f1,s for nust over 11lb, i was winning the section on this side of the lake till about 30 minutes from the end, when dave tagart on my right had been catching small silvers all day then latched into a near 7lb carp on his pinkie rig, and landed. It, well done dave his 10lb of silvers and carp giving him the section, i ended up second in the section so still in the hunt , lying in second place behind fishery expert russ peck, halfway through the league so all the play for, russ had top weight on the day with over 90 from peg 36 on the speci lake.

Next match was on Thursday at plantation on the main lake, silvers only. I cant remember who drew for me but i was handed peg 2, nice comfy swim with a bit of shelter from the cold easterly wind, had dave willy Wilmot on 1 and lee waller on 4, and opposite was kev(neo)winstone, not sure if the diets working mate.

It felt as though it was difficult day, and the lake is still struggling to come out of winter mode, but it is still only mid feb. It was necessary to keep feeding and rotating around several lines to keep getting bites ive caught on averything, but it was impossible to get a run going on any bait on any line, ended with just over 14lb, dave on my right had 16lb, and lee had ten, the far end and the far bank were the place to be, with inform john fuidge winning easily with over 30lb from favoured peg 27, all on his soft pellet approach, he certainly seems to have that sorted. The lake has fished ok with all but one having double figures, baxk down here again on sunday for rons silvers league, should be ok, also james. Has really been working hard to get the lake and swims looking good well done to him and his small band of helpers.
