Bela and I went to Wetherspoons in Kingswood
for breakfast mine was cold and a bit off putting. My left eye was still a bit
sore from yesterdays blasting.
The Windmill Match Lake
was booked for a club match so we were switched to the Carp Lake Lake .
Before the draw we had Magician Dave Willmott reveal one of
his tricks of saying he wanted to draw peg 2 in the anticipation that he
wouldn’t. Nobody wanted this peg based on no one has weighed in from it!
Into the draw box and out comes peg 8 happy with this as it
wasn’t pegs 1 or 2! What does Bela do draw peg 2. Willmott found this funny.
Still nothing will faze Bela still his chirpy self and role model for a few I
can mention. After I had set up my 0.2 gram paste float I had time to walk
round the Lake taking some maggot to Bela for
him to try his Bounty hunting skills. Low and behold pegs 1 & 2 were the
only swims I seen with signs of feeding Carp with at least five topping before
I returned to my swim. Passing Willmott I did say “He who laughs last…” and
predicted Bela would win from peg 2 today.
The picture right is looking from my end of the lake to
where Bela was pegged. It was bright sunny conditions and little to no wind
today very unusual for Windmill. If I could swap the wind conditions with
yesterdays I would have, resulting in more fish from both venues.
Fished paste over hard 4’s with all match, having a good two
hours catching really small Carp to 2lb. The last four hours were really
difficult and had to switch swims to keep the odd Carp coming. I did have an
8lb Carp. I even went to 13 metres but not for long! With ten minutes to go I
noticed a wind knot in my 0.18 line close to the hook. Too close to the end of
the match to change, isn’t it? Bad angling as five minutes to go I hooked a
double and yes the line broke on the knot, only myself to blame and thought it
may cost me second place.
I weighed 37lb 15oz hanging on to second overall.
As predicted by me which delighted me no end, Bela (pictured
right with the runner up) won the match with 56lb fishing paste over softened
4’s. Well done matey.
Dave Willmott has said he’s not ever going to fish the Carp Lake Lake without any Silvers. The
fish in this Lake are yet to get accustomed to
match fishing. In addition we need to understand the best pegging options.
Ronnie Roach wasn’t troubled today and still roams free.
It was back to Bar-gar-age for Bela and I for some more than
usual Pinky Ponk Juice.
Full Result:
- Bela Bakos 56-0-0 peg 2
- Mike Nicholls 37-15-0 peg 8
- Bob Richards 31-15-0 peg 11
