A phone call from
Bela late Saturday to say he couldn't fish due to his bathroom being incomplete
with no crapper I was worried I wouldn't be able to find a replacement at such
late notice, luckily I managed to get super-sub Jamie Parkhouse to fish. So with
a lift organised with Gordon Cannings it was off to Cannards Well for a buffet
breakfast – no queue here.
At this point I realised I was coming down with man flu.
I nominated Gordon to pick the peg – I wish I didn't as he
draw me a crap peg plus an overall indifferent team draw (pictured left).
Its amazing that the three matches so far have been fished in calm very bright sunny conditions and in between its been horrendous wind and torrential rain.

You just don’t want to draw between Campbell
pegs 129 and 132 this time of the year, as most of the Carp have migrated to
the top end of the Lake . So 132 for me it was
– another bloody corner peg and fishing for one lump or two which I really
don’t have the mentality to do.
I set up the straight lead, Waggler and a 0.15 Silverfox PC
float for 9 metres down the RH margin towards the end bank.
I started on the lead with punched bread and sat on this for
30 minutes - the length of my retention span (I wish it was longer) without any
indications. So that went up the bank and only got one more failed outing with
double corn. I picked the waggler and fished single caster over caster. I had a
few small Ronnie’s and then the biggest fish of the day a 1 ½ lb Tench. Having
fed some caster and hemp down the RH margin and without seeing a bite the
elastic was shooting out, it didn't last long as a big Carp had swan into my
rig straightening the hook. That was it for this line not another bite. I
decided to stay on the Ronnie for the remaining hour missing plenty of bites,
but it did keep my interest up.
For the second match running I was last in section with 3lb
8oz. However, the team did reasonably well beating Avon Angling again by 1
point!
The match was won from fancied peg 125 by Steve Kedge
(pictured right with some of his catch) with 161lb 7oz. Steve “The Lead” Kedge caught
on the lead with either bread or meat hook bait not having to feed a thing!!
The Silvers was won by Dave White with 31lb 3oz from peg 38
on Middle Lake
