I drew peg 36 on Specimen Lake. I have previously drawn the next peg 37 and have caught Crucians with a few Skimmers, so pleased with the draw. I targeted the same species at 10 metres. After an hour I had one small skimmers and a couple of tiny Ronnies. Tried the paste over the same line to no avail. I had set the waggler up for right across with double maggot over caster - again s few small Ronnies. Two hours in to the match and only 3lb of Silvers in the net! I noticed that Dave Lewis on peg 35 was catching some small Perch - so out on the caster at 2 metres over loose fed caster resulted in a run of Perch to 4oz. I then cut the caster feed back to 3 - 4 casters every cast, this resulted in a run of quality Ronald's (senior Ronnies) to 1lb. I wish I had started on this method as I would have been much closer to winning the Silvers. As it was I weighed 23lb 14oz for third and a pick up of £40. The water quality was showing signs of a algae bloom, I think this put the Crucians off feeding.
The match was won by Ian Hudson (pictured above right - with free Plumbers advert) with 122lb 7oz from Specimen Lake 27. Ian fished the pole at 17 metres to the Island using hair rigged banded 6 and 8 mm hard pellet up and down the far shelf. Ian loose fed 4 pints of 6mm pellet (I went to both junior and senior school with Ian uncle John).
For the second Carps match Anton Page has been seen swimming to the islands far bank. Anyone know why he doing this!
