Landsend, Tony Rixons knock up

LooDown the M5 to Landsend again today. Must be the excellent breakfast that drags me down there. 28 turned up for one of Tony's well run matches. Two lakes used so split into two separate matches to make things fair. I to the bucket and out comes peg 5. A nice narrow peg at only 13 meters which suits me fine. Alot of faces I didn't know today so excuse me if names don't fit pegs. Rod Wooton had this yesturday and had a good net of margin carp and plenty of silvers so I was hoping fof a good day. Three rigs, a .15 slim for shallow pellet to the island. A .4 slim for meat at 2+2 and a .4margin slim in 3 1/2 feet right and left against the weeds. Started on meat and had a nice carp after ten minutes followed shortly after by a nice but small ghosty. That line went quiet so it was over to the island. Not much happening over there and bites were not forthcoming. Did hook and loose one but I think it was a fouler. Things not going to plan. Started to drip a few 4mm's in at 2+2 to my left to see if the silvers where playing but after trying that, something I hadn't planed on doing it was obvious the silvers just weren't having it. So it was a case of swapping around again. The carp by the island weren't having it properly and fouling was a problem. Did manage a few plus the odd F1, but I gave up on that list e with 90 minutes to go. So I stuck with the meat line e and margin that didn't produce a thing. Had a couple more carp and a nice bream in the last 90 minute but that was it apart from a couple more lost foulers. Totaled 42lb for nowhere today. Not exactly over the moon as I was expecting g alot more. Top wieght my side of the lake was only 56lb.

The lake and match up was won from peg 16 by Gary Oshea with103-4.
Second Tim Clark peg 15 with 85-5.
Third Leon Hubbard peg 13 with 83-15.
