Lonesome traveller today so decided to breakfast in the Bear
Inn which meant driving through Wells. However, on the down hill into Wells
there are some temporary traffic lights, unfortunately, on my side they ere
stuck on Red!! Luckily because I was at the top of the hill I could see the
oncoming traffic so when they stopped I signalled and over took everyone and
went through with lots of cars following behind except an old couple at the
head of the queue that wasn’t going to move until they changed. Probably still
be there.
Nice breakfast and on to the fishery where the match was on
Carey and Lodge. So with the sole intent of qualifying for the Silvers all
winners final I needed to be on Lodge. In to the draw tin and out comes peg 97,
Carp slayers peg on Carey – bugger. That said Steve was paying the top two
silvers and overall on both lakes so something to fish for and you never know
in this game the Skimmers might not feed – umm.
I set up the Ronnie rig for caster over caster and a 4x12
Jolly for the small skimmers with semi-hard pellet to fish at 5 metres where I
could loose feed small knubs of wetted micro. I also set up a paste rig to
fetch out any maundering Carp and although I had plenty of opportunity I didn’t
bother the paste.
With Mark Vigar on peg 96 and with an empty peg on 98 that
was the direction I decided to fish the Ronnie rig.
On the whistle from the match on Campbell
I fed a knub of micro at 5 metres ahead of our match even though we were to
start at the same time – Woody’s watch is 2 minutes slow to BBC and Campbell time. It took a
few seconds before the Carp were doing what they do to create a huge amount of
fizzing on he one thumb size.
I started on the caster over loose feed caster and stayed
with this for most of the match. When I tried the Skimmer line with semi-hards
I would catch two 3 ouncers then the Carp would arrive. So gradually abandoned
the line until the last ¾ hours when the Ronnie’s, Perch, Tiny Tench (eight for
5lb) slowed and found the Carp going mental over any feed. If I had to guess
I’d say one Carp was waving its tail over the micro to lift them off bottom for
its matey’s to feed off them up in the water – not far off with this me thinks.
I finished the match Carpless (two foul hookers) with 25lb
1oz of small Silvers for the Lake
Silvers
The match was won by Mark Wynne (pictured right with the
Silvers winner) with 135lb 14oz from peg 94. Mark caught most of his fish
shallow at 14.5 metres using hair rigged pellet over loose fed 6’s. Mark fed 6
pints of pellet throughout the match.
The Silvers was won by Coffin Dodger Chris Rolfe (pictured lower right with his catch of Skimmers) with 40lb 10oz from Lodge peg 68. Chris
caught on hair rigged 6mm hard pellet fish over hard 4’s Chris fed about I pint
throughout.
