After picking up matey Bob Warren and breakfast at ASDA it
was in to the draw bag. It was good to see two new members especially Geoff Grant. We usually let new comers pick up coin on their first match, I don't know what went wrong today Geoff!
After yesterdays match I was knackered so I was hoping for a day on the Silvers so drawing peg 26 was spot an and out and out Skimmer peg.
After yesterdays match I was knackered so I was hoping for a day on the Silvers so drawing peg 26 was spot an and out and out Skimmer peg.
So with the Ronnie rig and Jolly set up I set about catching
Silvers initially on the soft pellet over wetted micro at 5 metres in the
deepest swim on the Pool. I managed to get a lot of fizzing, but no bites, not
even a liner. So it was on to the Ronnie rig with caster and I started catching
small 1oz specimens but very slowly. So back on the Jolly and I did have a few
small Skimmers but again it was really slow. I persevered with the silvers
until the last 45 minutes where I set up a paste rig and managed to foul hook
six Carp landing two of them. The margins are very steep, hence deep the
probable reason for the fouling.
I was glad to hear the all out managing to put a measly 8lb
2oz of Silvers and 18lb 12oz of Carp for a total of 26lb 14oz, looking at the
Silvers caught it felt as if I fished a different match!
The match was won by Rich Coles (pictured right with some of
his catch) with 138lb of Carp from peg 24. Rich caught in his RH margin fishing
paste over allsorts of feed.
The Silvers was won by new triple bypassee Charlie Barnes
(pictures right with one of his 5lb Bream; it was actually 4lb 14oz and lower
right with the Match winner). Charlie caught on Lidl corn fished over caser and
corn. Charlie fed 1 ½ pints of caster and 2 pints of corn!

That was a bit of a paste bashing you had from the next peg today Mr Nicholls! Are you now going to pass your paste masters crown?
Mike I know maths aren't your strong point, but the pegs went 24, 25, 26...! I will take you slowly through it again next match - lol.
Forgot I put 25 in this time, normally leave it out, you couldn't even beat the duff peg next door.
