Very warm morning which is nothing to do with CO2 but the Sun giving off two large CME's (Corona Mass Ejection's) a couple of weeks ago. This affected our local electricity supply for a about 1 second setting off house alarms and closing some petrol stations. Following this the Sun went worrying very quiet for three days or so. So we can expect some colder weather next week for a while. Mentioned this because although warm weather is good for anglers well being it's not helping the fishing. Suspect once we have some colder dry weather fishing will improve.
Into the draw bag and out comes peg 14 - Ah, can use the waggler here too, which was soon set up and trialled in 6 foot of water well away from the island. The picture on the right is for the benefit of John Smith and "Three Gulps" Gillard - they know! Half heartily set up a 0.3 gram RJ slim for the RH margin at two barrels in 4 foot of water. Started to feel very lonely as I couldn't see anyone and wouldn't know how it was fishing.
Fed the margin with DR's and micros and started to feed the waggler line regularly with LR's with double DR's on the hook. The bottom was all over the place - sometime I was off bottom and then laying on. Didn't mind this as it gave options. A steady start catching the odd Skimmer and Ronnie. I was getting indications which I thought was Carp. I did scale a carp and foul hooked two which broke my 0.14 hook length, landing two fairly hooked six pounders . I did try the margin, a slow count to 60 and if no indications went back on the waggler. Only tried on the two hour and one hour to go marks before abandoning the margin. Really enjoy fishing the waggler especially working out the feeding which was difficult today as the carp really didn't want to play. Luckily kept a few silvers coming steady throughout.
The match was won by John Osbourne (pictured with the silvers winner) with 40 lb 11 oz from peg 5. John caught long at about 1/2 metre off the island in 30 inches of water. Initially John caught 3 carp on meat, he feeding about one tin, then switched to maggot fished over kindered maggot to add two more carp. Well done matey.
The silvers was won by Dave Haines with 14 lb 14 oz from peg 8. Dave caught on both caster and maggot short over GB and loose fed hook baits. Well done matey.
Back to the "Ringer" with the usual suspects and because of finishing at 3 pm I was home by just after 5 pm. - perfect.
