So it was back to landsend today to try and pry a quid out of Russ Pecks hand. The 10 oclock draw is nice as I can still have a lie in up to my normal get up time for work and still be there in plenty of time. Into the draw bucket and i pull out 24, Its a peg I have drawn loads of times and realy struggled to have a decent day, so I was not exactly too happy. Had a good whinge about it. Got to the peg and the breeze was blowing into the end bank so who knows how it would go. For company I had Rich H eatley opposite on peg one, The Bean Machine Dave "Beany" Westcott on 22 and Russ peck on 24, so sarcasm would be at an all time high today. I decided to set up just three rigs. A .3 SS margin to fish to platform 23, that was a total no goer all day. A .15 Shalla Slim to fish at 13m along the end bank on 6mm pellet. and a .5 slim to fish at 14m off the end of the tree straight out on meat. Decided to start on meat today and 5 minutes in the float buried and a 4 pounder was netted. Missed a bite next drop in, then lost a carp next drop. stayed on it for about 40 minutes but only an F1 followed. Rich had a decent start with some F1`s from the island and a couple of carp, but Dave and Russ were struggling. So I decided to try the end bank and thats were I stayed most of the day taking a stead run of smallish carp. I tried the other lines on acasions but they didn`t produce anything else.the lake didn`t fish well today, which was a surprise as the weather looked cock on for a good day, but I did enough to win. My 23 carp went 92-2, like I said they weren`t big fish. second was Russ peck with mainly carp for 67-4. third was Rod Wootton on peg 17 with 61-14. top silver went to dave ings on 3 with 18-8 of mainly skimmers. full results below. Oh yeah, cheers for the quid Russ.
