Today was practice for Sunday's Silversmania. As expected the lake was frozen. The ice was about 12 mm thick - much thicker than Sunday - real plate glass. Steve long did his usual with his ice breaker boat. With Carps AC paying the top three I needed to draw either pegs 15, 16, 17, 18 or 19. I pulled out peg 2. I drew this peg in the same practice match last year and came second with 20lb. Not this time however, I could only manage 6lb 13oz of very small Ronnie’s plus a couple of better fish. This gave me 7th overall. Because of the bright sunlight the Skimmers have shoaled in the darker areas i.e. the pegs mentioned above. The sun hardly touches the water in this area all day.
The match was won by Steve Jackson on peg 15 with 27lb 2oz. Steve catch consisted of all quality Skimmers.
To aid those that could not fish today I have included the full result of the match:
1. Steve Jackson 27-03-0 peg 15
2. Rich Coles 20-11-0 peg 18
3. Dave Roper 16-03-0 peg 16

As Charlie Barnes said after the match - "Sunday's final is going to be all about location, location, location"! He could be right.
