With twenty two pairs booked in, it meant that Carey, Lodge and Match Lakes were in with the Lakes split into sections of eleven. My partner today was Terry Bruton and we were by far the oldest pair fishing, I suppose it had to come one day. As we could pick which partner fished where, Terry chose Carey and I would be on either Lodge or Match. Terry drew peg 100 (number of years experience between us) and I pulled another peg facing in to the wind, peg 52 on Match Lake. I was happy with this draw – I thought.
I set up a 4x14 and a 4x12 rig, one for the soft pellet and the other caster and maggot, both to be fished at 13 metres one at 11 o clock the other at 2 o clock. I also set a 4x12 for the LH margin to be fished at 6 metres. The upshot was I didn’t get a bite on the soft pellet but did manage three Hybrids, a Tench and one Ronnie on the caster. I did loose one Skimmer which might have been foul hooked. After this I couldn’t get a bite on anything. I think it was because of the cold SW wind once again making presentation almost impossible. I thought I would give the waggler a try and broke a ring doing so I cast it a few time but the wind was unmanageable in such shallow water. I decided to fish the last two hours in the margin hoping for Carp. After a fruitless 15 minutes trying the 6mm soft pellet in the where I had previously fed some wetted micro. I decided to set up a paste rig and had four Skimmers and a lost one which was the signal for the swim to die. I was about to try plan Z when I saw a little blow so stayed with It and I got my just deserts a 4lb 9oz Mirror Carp. Then thank heavens the whistle went for end of match. My Silvers weighed in at 11lb 7oz for 3 section points and overall 16lb for 5 section points.
Terry had a 6 points overall and 5 points for his Silvers the best we could muster was a total of 8 points in the Silvers and 11 points overall. I am not sure where we finished up but we weren’t last!
The match was won by Steve Jackson with 112lb 7oz from peg 98. Steve caught on the straight lead using double 8mm hard pellet.
The Silvers was won by S Lovell with 42lb 7oz from peg 60. He caught big Skimmers on meat.
