Wednesday 16/04/2008 Carps AC - Landsend Fishery

This match was contained on the Specimen Lake as another match was booked for Match Lake. Wow what a fishery! Thanks to Mike Duckett (pictured right) the fishery owner and his care and attention of his fish. Everyone enjoyed the fishing, with plenty of silver fish showing. The weather helped with the best day for many a long winter month.

I drew peg 37 and approached the peg exactly the same as on the previous Sunday and had an excellent days fishing. I weighed 48lb of Silvers comprising of Crucians and Skimmers. I also had two carp for a total of 60lb 12oz . This put me winner of the silvers and third overall and a pick up of £25. My travelling partner Darren Gillman drew peg 31. Based on our experience from the Sunday match we discussed the possibility of using the waggler shallow over to the island with caster as a possible winning approach for silvers, which is the approach Darren used at half time to weigh 33lb 8oz of silvers. Darren caught 12oz hybrids on double maggot over loose fed caster fishing a 2AA waggler two foot deep. However, it wasn't quite enough to win the silversmania by default.

Dave Wride (pictured bottom left - apparently smiling) took the Wednesday Silversmania with 36lb 7oz from corner peg 25.

Top junior was Ryan Houghton (pictured bottom right with PB bream of 4lb) from corner peg 33 with 15lb 5oz.

The match winner was Colin Golding with 72lb 3oz with Carp to 16lb from peg 27. Colin caught on his usual methodology of gelatined 6mm Ringer over loose fed 6mm gelatined Ringer pellet.
