Breakfast in ASDA with Bob Warren and once again Wendy
warmed Bobs butter!
A good turn out with 32 fishing making pegging easy
with peg 20 and 2 left out. Having had a look at the water colour it didn’t look
too good to me with a few bubbles coming up which obviously wasn’t fish, so what was
it?
In to the draw bag and out comes peg 9. OK, but it’s the
first time it’s been match fished since being piled. So a long bare bank margin
for me today.
I set up a caster 4x12 Jolly for the margin and caster over
caster, amazingly I didn’t have a bite on this for the first time ever on this
venue. I set up a 4x16 Jolly for soft pellet over pellet, some 4’s and micro.
This worked well for 20 minutes putting 4lb 12oz of small Skimmers in the net.
Then for unknown reasons my swim completely died adding only one small perch to
the Silvers to the end. What’s wrong I ask myself?
I spent 4 ½ hours in the margin trying to catch a Carp on
various baits using my 0.3 gram Silverfox PC paste float. It took until the
last hour before I hooked and landed a 17lb Common Carp. I landed a second 8lb
fish with 30 minutes to go then broke on what I think must have been a foul
hooker. That was it what a miserable days fishing. That said I did better than
most with plenty of DNW’s.
Dave Bacon had a very expensive day, firstly crashing into
Andy Smiths car and then breaking a number 6 section on his Diawa pole.
The match was won by John Smith (pictured right with the
Silvers winner) with 105lb 14oz from peg 24. John caught shallow at 14.5 metres
using banded 8’s over lose fed 6’s. John’s weight was comprised 13 Carp.
The Silvers was won by Barry Fitchew with 16lb 13oz from peg
1. Barry caught on caster over caster at 5 metres out in front.

Have just spoken to John Smith, his weight was made up with eleven carp. Don't know where you got 23 from. As there are virtually no fish in Bridge under 7lbs I thought the penny should have dropped!
I thought you were going to say "there aren't 23 carp in the lake"!!
