Got to the venue with just 15 minutes to scoff down a breakfast, who h I managed to do easily and then grabbed the last time let in the bucket. Out comes 19, happy days. It's had form lately so was fairly confident for a change. Not had the best of luck for a bit but that changed last summer day at Windmill and this made it two on the trot. Usually a good peg to fish lo g to the island and grab carp shallow as they come.e around the corner. But today that didn't happen. It fished realy hard with several anglers struggling to get more than a couple of fish. The water was gin clear and I never saw any life by the island all day. Not a single fish came around. All I could catch on was single dead red fished at the bottom of the far shelf. As I said it was gin clear and. Upping in casters I could see them fall through the water for about five seconds at 11 meters. So it was a day of winkling out small skimmers with two bonus fish. I'd hoped a carp or two might find the lose feed but never hooked one all day. At he end I'd caught what I thought was 7lb and I was close with 7-15 which was enough to take the silvers pool. The match was won by Nick Ducket with 72-4 from peg 23. He had a thick blanket of leaves and caught shallow dropping between them right across. I think the leaves gave some cover and helped them be more confident. Second was Russ Peck from peg 13 with a similar leaf cover. He managed just 27-10. Strangely, I enjoyed the struggle today. Working hard for bites that at times were along time between. Not set my stall out for silvers for ages. Maybe it's the new me.
