Hillview today with son Steve for a Fathers Day outing and
an Indian Curry afterwards – don’t get any better than this.
The rules at Hillview have changed primarily with regards to
the keep net limits (see right). I think they are one of the most sensible
rules around especially the four net rules – well done Keith. However, it’s the
only fishery I know that if an angler gets it badly wrong he could end up with
a negative weight – it will happen., can’t wait - Lol.
In to the Woolly hat and out comes peg 30 on Heron a corner
peg with the wind nearly blowing in to it. I was reasonably happy with the peg
until the nemesis arrived on peg 27.
I decided to make it an out and out paste match for me. So
two rigs a 0.4 gram rig to be fished just down the shelf at top-set plus one
and a half sections. And a 0.3 gram which suited both margins all to be fished
over hard 4’s so bait tray sparser than usual.
Starting long whilst lightly feeding both margins I hooked a
4lb Carp first put in. Second put in another – going to be good – just as I
thought that the nibblers arrived. So in to the RH margin and an F1 in the net.
It then all went Tits-up. I couldn’t get a bite. So went out again on the
longer line and had another F1. The nibblers soon arrived. By now both Glenn
and Terry were bagging in their margins on maggot. I did notice that both of
them were feeding heavy, more in one go than I normally feed all match!! True.
I started to up the feed accordingly and - nothing until the
last hour when I started to catch the odd F1 and Carp, but the bites was
strange it was “tear-a–ways” or nothing. I can’t believe I fed a whole 2
pints can’t believe it. I finished up with 44lb and nowhere. It fished weird; Terry
King confirmed the same where heavy feeding was the only way to get the
marauding Carp to take any interest.
The match was won by Chris Cork (pictured right) with 168lb
8oz (would have been minus if in one net!!) from first canal peg 42. Chris
saved the day for me as he caught on paste from both margins. One margin paste
over micro and the RH paste over meat. All his fish equally spread from both
margins, all caught short.
Steve drew peg 5 and DNW'd but had around 40lb of F1’s in the process
had a lesson from Des Shipp – hope he don’t invoice him!!
I always have a look at the post match platforms to see what
anglers have been feeding the picture right is that of Des Shipp’s where there
were signs of Corn, Meat, Pellet and Worm.
