off to bridgwater this week to fish the sedges on brick lake , 20 fishing today so every peg is in, the day didnt start to well with having drunk to much bacardi at tony page,s wedding party, i was that bad dean had to drive , and i couldnt even eat my breakfast at hilltop, i did manage most of it so i was feeling a bit better by the time we got to the lake,as usual we had the warm reception from denise and jamie with the offer of a cup of tea or coffee, and its one of the tidiest fisheries you will visit and you dont even have to take any nets as they are supplied. time for the draw and i did my own this week as dean was holding the bucket , out comes 15 , a good peg as there is a weed bed betwwen 15 and 16 which generally holds some fish, for company i had chris davis on 16 and mike west on 14. the plan today was for chopped w and caster at 5mtrs ,the same rig to fish meat on the deck at 14mtrs , a shallow meat rig for 14 mtrs and a margin meat rig, i,m not going to bore you with how my day went as i was sxxt i ended up with 3 skimmers , one eel and a late carp down the edge, whatever i did i couldnt raise a bite and to add insult to injury chris won the match on 16 with 110lb and mike west won the silvers on 14 with 26lb so i am going to put my piss poor performance down to bacardi poisoning. towards the end of the match chris couldnt get his rig into the margin back towards me quick enough as the carp were queueing up ,i was fishing the same margin back towards him and i had one carp lost two foulers and i cant understand why i couldnt get a bite as we were both feeding the same line with the same bait well sort of ,as my meat was dusted with with greem stim whereas chris and mike,s was just natural, perhaps it was an off day for green stim, i think i may be clutching at straws now lol, as i said chris davis won with 110.6
2nd went to tom thick with 86.8 of carp caught mainly on the wag from peg6
3rd scott puddy on 11 with 72.8
4th dean malin 59.4 peg 10
5th ron hardiman 52.11 peg 3
6th john dursley 51.13 peg1
1st in silvers went to mike west with 26.12 , just pushing thatchers regect and stunt co-ordinater for the latest smurf blockbuster. bobby gullet(ick) with 25.14 of feeder and worm caught skimmers and i nearly forgot my 5 fish weighed 13.1 which apart from 2 dnw,s was plum last but did i moan and swear ,course not you just got to put it down to experience and probably a large slice of bad angling. does anyone have the number of a goog golfing coach, preferably not the one stu foale uses

sedges brick lake
20 today so the lake was full as there are only 2o pegs on there. i let dean draw for me which is usually a mistake, i fancied a peg about halfway up either bank but i ended up on 19 , 2 out nof the corner , at least the wind was off my backl so i was in for a more comfortable day than the anglers opposite who had in there faces,
there were quite a few fish showing down the middle of the lake so i set yup a pellet wag , a shallow rig , a margin rig and 2 deep rigs ,one for meat and one for hard pellet. the meat rigs were on .16 with a xedion 14 hook whilst the pellet rigs were also on .16 but with a 16 b960 hook.
at the start after feeding all my pole lines it was out on the wag, which may have been a mistake as chris davis on 18 had a quick carp shallow but bt the end of the first hour i had 3 and chris had 2 but as far as i could see his 2 would weigh more than my three put together, then after that first hour niether chris or me could get a bite shallow, so i went out to 14 mtrs with hard pellet on the deck and had a good skimmer on 6mm banded, but it was really hard to get a bite , even john bradford fishing caster couldnt get a bite , most people seemed to be getting odd carp and skimmers with meat or in tom thick,s case his usual soft pellet over micro,s approach was producing plenty of skimmers for him. the carp didnt seem to want to feed today as they havent spawned properly yet , they started to go a couple of weeks ago but then the temps dropped and the majority stopped .
as i said no one was setting it on fire , although scott puddy on 9 was now getting an odd carp on the lead on pellet and towards the end chris davis next door was tempting odd good fish down his rigth hand margin towards the gimp, who was only fishing for silvers , i did manage 3 more carp on meat ,one at 5 mtrs and two at 14, but chris next door had some good fish in the margin, so as far as i could see scott was the only threat to him, but it turned out chris had done enough as his net went 72.10
2nd was scott puddy with 67.2
3rd tom thick with 54.15 which included top silver weight of 45.14
4th steve seager 54.3
5th tony rixon 42.2
6th ron hardiman and steve hutchinson both with 35.14

sedges tile or was it brick lake, its the left one
20 fished today so it was a full lake, i let dean draw for me and i ended up pn 23 which is the third peg up on the left hand bank, for company i had dean on 22 and rod wootten on 24. i thought the people to beat would be paul elmes on 21 ,tim ford on 40 (both corners)and local ace tom mangnol on 39, the same peg he won off last time i ran a match here.
i set up a 4x18 rig with a 16 6313 on .12 for meat at 6mtrs , the same size rig with a 16 b960 for banded pellet on the deck at 16 mtrs and an up in the water rig just in case, bigger rigs today as its over 7 feet deep on both lines.
also a pellet wag rig was put together as i had an island chuck but with the breeze blowing off the island presentation was always going to be hard.
at the start i cupped in some meat at 6 mtrs , some 4mm pellets at 16 mtrs and began firing 8mm as close to the island as i could, starting on the meat at 6 mtrs i had a small carp first drop, then a 1lb skimmeer about 10 mins later and that was it for the meat line i never had another bite on it, 45 mins in and paul on 21 ,tim on 40 and tom on 39 were all getting carp on the shallow wag, so that was the rest of the match mapped out for me, but it was hard work as i had to keep casting as the breeze was blowing the float off the island so unless i had a bite within about 20 to 30 seconds of casting it was a case of wind in feed and cast again , most of the fish were on the small side between 1 and 2lb but i did get on good one on the wag at an ounce under 16lb , so by the halfway mark i thought i had caught up paul on 21 as his good early start had fizzled out somewhat and he was really struggling. unlike tom on 39 and tim on 40 who were both catching steadily, i did manage 2 shallow on the pole about an hour from the end , one of which was about 12lb, so by the end i thought i had a 70 plus pounds, its a bit hard to call when there are a lot of small fish involved. as it turned out tim ford won the day on peg 40 with 119.9 all taken on the shallow wag cast to the end bank
2nd was tom mangnol on 39 with 99.10 again on the wag
3rd was me with 93.6(ok it was a big 70lb)
4th steve hutchinson 48.5 peg 35 which was the top silvers weight on the day , his catch included 6 bream to nearly 8lb
5th paul elmes 47.12 peg 21
6th tim clark 42.5 which included a 13lb carp which he weighed and returned during the match, only to foul hook it again just befor the end when he was fishing down the edge where he had returned it, it smell a bit dodgy to me,
as i said steve hutch won the silvers with 48.5 but i must mention second in silvers which went to mike nicholls on peg peg 29 with 720 (quality)roach and rudd for 31.12.it all sounds a bit sad counting that many, steve only needed 6 bites to beat him in the silvers lol
