Tried to fish Cider Farm last Wednesday, with the fishing gear all packed, I started car to find that the alternator warning light stayed on - up to the local garage and with a new alternator fitted and £190 later back on the road. I was very disappointed as I like this venue, not only for the very competitive fishing with usually only one or two fish separating the frame placings, but it is a very nice and quiet place to spend a day.However, made it to the venue this week and drew peg 21 on Dabinett. This is a good draw as it is in the gap between the islands - opposite the aerator. I set up a 4mm and paste rig at 5 metres and a 6mm pellet rig at 10.5 metres. Started on the 4mm pellet kinder potting micro pellet - no indications - switch to paste - no indications. I decided to leave this line and feed no further. Went out at 10.5 metre with 6mm GOT pellet - nothing! I decided to switch this line to paste and started to catch steady by drip feeding 4mm hard pellet. I lost 8 foul hookers and netted 13 reasonably sized carp for a weight of 32lb 10oz for second overall and a pick up of £40.
The match was won by Banbury based angler Derek Cullip (pictured top right). Derek weighed 39lb 7oz from peg 18. Derek caught Carp up the far shelf using soft pellet over potted hard pellet.
