It was breakfast at Canards Well as usual where we were
joined by eight other anglers. Then off to the draw. Being 1 degree above
freezing where we were all dressed for the weather except An-Ton (pictured
right) who was dressed appropriate for a holiday in Barbados
In to the draw tin and out came “Two Fat Ladies” – 88. I was
happy with this as there were plenty of worse pegs in the tin. Bela drew peg 81
where once again he was among the leaves.
Arriving at the peg I was welcomed by the wonderful smell of
freshly cut wood. Lucky for a few of us Helen Long has put in a few new
platforms, however, Helen insisted that I wiped my feet before setting up.
The water was so clear that I decided to set up the waggler
plus a 4x14 Jolly to be fished at 11.5 metres and although I half heartedly
tried it a few of times with various hook baits over GB laced with caster I
abandoned it in favour of the waggler.
So it was almost waggler from front to back with caster hook
bait over loose fed caster, which I really enjoyed, catching Ronnie’s initially
followed by three good Perch and a couple of Hybrids. The feeding was difficult
to work out because after feeding I was expecting to catch the Ronnie’s on the
drop, but for some unknown reason that didn’t happen (perhaps the water
clarity). It was a question of fishing the feed out. I tried to feed a tight
grouped line as far as I could and a more scattered line further out
(accidently). By casting long and pulling over the two lines I kept fish coming
through out until the last half hour when Bela’s leaves arrived making it
difficult to spot the float.
I weighed 11lb 6oz
for a section third and a pick up by default thanks to matey Gary O’Shea.
The match was won by Gary Gary
