Thursday 31/07/2008 Carps AC - Summer Evening Series - Shangri La - Round Five

A definite improvement in fishing conditions - no wind in the face and the warmest night so far. The fishing however, appears to be gradually getting worse. The same pegs are taking the top spots, but with proportionately lower weights. I was on peg 1 tonight, which is on the decking. I caught straight away on paste, but was soon pestered by the widger Crucians. I fished for them in the left hand margin, for about thirty minutes and put about 7lb of them in the net. For some reason the corn did not work, so back out on the paste and landed another six small Carp to 2lb for a total weight of 19lb. This gave me fourth spot and 6 points.

It was Mark Tanner's (pictured top right - in near total darkness - probably best) turn to fish the flyer peg 2. Mark did not disappoint, winning the match with 29lb 8oz of Carp to 3lb. Mark fished paste both out in front and down the left hand margin towards the hay bale.

The man of the match must be Phil Coulam (Cat meat specialist) who arrived two hours late and finished third with 26lb!
