Landsend Winter league round 3

With the weather reported as in the freezing category it was a nice surprize that the weather people had it completely wrong. That makes a change lol. I was on match lake today and after last weeks disaster I was hoping to draw at the far end of the lake for a change. Something I havent done forever. I seem to be rooted to the closer end of the lake for the last year. But not a chance. peg 1 again. this peg seems to be feast or famine lately. And as I had already used my dropper points in the first match and only a third in section in the second, nothing worse than top 2 would do to stay in the league. Well, that didnt happen. I struggled for a dozen bites all day. I wont bore you with details but I only had 6 carp on meat in open water, and two other bites on soft pellet all day. No bites up or down the shelves along the end bank or island or down the righ hand margin  on any bait. I only beat three anglers on our lake so my league was over. Tony Rixon won our lake with 90 odd pound from peg 19 fishing meat between the islands and Gary Oshea second with 73lb I think from peg 5 fishing between the islands sharing the shoal with Tony.  I didnt get into hear the results so I got no idea how the other lakes did but you can read a bit more detail on Tony`s blog.
