Down to my favourite water hole today for the usual saturday bash. 22 fishing so 11 on each lake and fished as two matches. 62 pops out the bag for me on John Walter lake, the same as I had last time out where I got a win. To my right I had Russ Compo Peck on 62, and a quid bet was laid. Opposit I had Rod Fluffy Silver Back 5 Nets Wootton. Bloody hell its geting harder to fit all his name on one line. So the three biggest piss takers all together. Banter was gonna be special today. Bait try was simple today, 6 and 8mm pellets. And that was it. Started across after feeding all lines. Had a run of small f1`s in the first half hour before hooking my first carp. Didnt land it. Nor the next three. Infact after about an hour I`d hooked seven and landed one. Not a great start. Russ was getting decent f1`s and the very odd carp. Rod was sat wishing he had stayed home. I eventually got a few carp but the f1`s disapeared. It slowed up so it was a day of switching lines. Had a few at 2+2 and a few down to my left margin, and three slapping. but I managed to pick out the smallest carp in the lake doing that. After three hours I had a good 70lb but thing went tits up after that. The fish were very active but I couldnt catch anything anywhere. had a 40 minute spell with nothing. Russ carried on catching all this time taking plenty of small acrp and f1`s. Rod was still thinking he should have stayed home. He was realy struggling. loads of fish showing but none feeding. The last 30 minutes I got three more but I was never gonna challenge Compo. At the end I was banking on 90lb. And thats exactly what I had to the ounce. That got me second on the lake. Russ easily won the lake with 120lb and Rod fluffy Silverback blah blah blah had 31lb. Nigel Bartlett had a magnificent 45-2 of f1`s to win the silvers. Top weight on match lake was Leon hubbard with 116lb. Dave Ings was second with 67lb including 33-15 of silvers. So default silvers went to Ray White with 31-4. No fishing for me next week as we are off few a few days in Cornwall in the caravan. Cant wait to get away for a few days. Full results below.
