After some excellent back bacon in the Globe Pub, Captain Bela
went in for the draw and came back with a good team draw- again (pictured
right).
I was probably on the worse, peg 13 on Spring Lake
After getting some team bread slices and Hair rig stops form
Bela, a borrowed 10mm Bread punch from Tim Ford and a lead from trigger who was
on next peg 12 I had the main attack sorted. Because peg 13 is an out and out
margin peg, cut-off from open water where there is little hope on any Silvers. So
the only pole rig was a 0.15 Silverfox PC to be fished at 11.5 metres down the
edge up to the boards with dead reds over maggot/caster. This didn’t produce
anything.
So my match was all about initially fishing hair rigged
three pieces of 10mm punched bread down to the trees in the corner. I was
getting indications straight away from small fish tapping at the bread – I did
have a few strikes in the hope it was Carp bites – but alas not. After 2 hours
and nothing on the bread I switched to corn and unbelievably I had a tremble
and landed a 3oz Perch!! Lee Werret (pictured right landing one of his six
Carp) was opposite on peg 15 and was catch down his edge on maggot so I put a
maggot feeder on with the purpose of feeding the peg (no other way was
possible). I subsequently tried triple maggot, Bread and corn again, getting
one liner 10 minutes before the end. That was it 3oz it was and 1 team point.
The weather once again was against us with another rare
bright day, putting off the Silvers from feeding in any numbers.
Out team draw proved to be a good-un as we ended up 5th
overall on the day with the rest of the team doing the business, lifting us off
bottom place and above Avon Angling!!
The match was won by Nigel Easton (pictured right) with
119lb 12oz from peg 125. Nigel caught initially on the straight lead with
punched bread then switching to the waggler with meat and subsequently meat on
the lead. Nigel fed nothing!!
The Silvers was won by Adam Mitchell (pictured lower right) with
23lb 2oz from once again from in form Middle peg 37. Adam caught on the pole at
14. 5 metres catch Skimmers on maggot over Thatcher Gold laced with caster and
dead reds. Adam also caught Perch to 3lb on caster down his margin.
