Rons silvers league

Match 6 and off down to plantation main lake today, but not before myself and chris stopped off at the wessex flyer for breakfast, as always very nice, even took a couple of blue berry muffins for after the match, just the job. Steady drive to the fishery, everyone turned up so ron got the draw started on time, into the net and out comes peg 39 for me, never a peg of choice in a silvers match, can be a bit carpy. For company i had Ryan Jordan on my right on 38, and oppsite was kev winstone on 1 , he had my peg on Thursday and struggled, if he keeps leaching pound coins to everyone he wont need to diet as he wont be able to afford any food.

I only set up two rigs, both .25 slims, one would do for 5, 11 and 13mtrs on my left, and the other to my left where it was slightly shallower, to begin with i fed some groundbait and caster at 11 mtrs in front and 13 mtrs to the left, some soaked micros at 13 mtrs to the right, but started short at 5mtrs feeding caster bit started on a maggot on the hook, 30 minutes in and one small roach, feared the worst, especially as ryan already had a few skimmers on soft pellet, so i went to the right at 13 mtrs with asoft pellet, i never haf a bite on a soft pellet, so put a maggot on and had a few.small skimmers and one decent one of about a pound. But bites just stopped, very strange, fed that line again and went to the 11mtr in front line, had a few skimmers there before that stopped aswell, the 13 mtr line on the left was biteles, even though i tried it several times. So most of my fish came from three lines, 5mtrs, 11mtrs and 13mtrs on the right, not loads of bites , but when i did get one the fish were of a decent size. I did go to 14 mtrs with about an hour to go and did have three better skimmers, perhaps i should have done it earlier, but you never know, new i had at least 15lb, so felt i had done ok for the peg. first on the day went to paul elmes on peg 7 with 28.12,

just beating joe into second with his 27lb from peg 4, my.net was more than i thought and went 21lb which was good enough for third, so happy with that, a few carp were caught today, someone did say that the one they had didnt want to identify as a carp, but felt it wanted to identify as a bream , especially as the fisherthem who caught it was a themchester united fan 😕😕😆😆 weigh sheet below.
