Finally got back to landsend for the first time since the satrt of December. Ive been struggling in the couple of matches Ive fished for lack of practice, so I was glad to be back here as its the venue I know best and a boost in confidence was needed. we were gonna be on lake three but a good turn out had a few on Speci lake along the car park bank. Mr Duckett did the draw and handed me peg 58. Happy with that as there are a few options. Started off at 16m down to the end bank weed bed trying to mug a few but only had one in the first half hour, there were loads cruising but they had other things on thier minds, chasing each other around, other than feeding. It was like the closing sketch from the Benny Hill show. it was fishing hard. after about three hours and after two hours I had two good carp and an F1. I got a bit board trying to catch uninterested carp so I got my silvers rig and fished the top kit and was getting up to 4 perch and roach a minute, but they were tiny so after half hour I couldnt see me getting enough to get a silvers weight. So it was back to the carp. I got another mugging at 16m towards the spit that would have gone close to 12lb. The last hour produced a few down the right edge but they were juvinials and 4 of them went about 10lb. 20 minutes to go I went back across to the island and hooked 4 landing two before the wistle. the scale came round and top weigh on the other bank was russ pecks 29lb. I knew i had that well beat and i put 51-15 of carp and 4-13 of silver for a total of 56-12. That ended up as top on the lake to my surprise. Ray White had top silvers on our lake with 23-03. Steve seager won overall for peg 37 on Speci lake with 64-12. Dave Ings had a fab net of silvers, which I think was mainly quality roach, or 31-13. It was nice to be bak there and to pick up a bit of coin was an unexpected bonus. B
ack in two weeks for another go.
