Told today by the BBC that we will reach the "no going back" 1.5 degrees in the next 5 years (said this 5 years ago and 5 years before that). Yet we were discussing todays weather all with different Apps giving different forecasts! Anyway, I can confidently forecast we had a nice warm dry day.
Drew peg 22 which was comfy once the box was set up level, had a foot stool in front too. For company on peg 21 was Martin Alexander aka Arkwright. Set up the waggler with a 8 inch bodied Drake, due to the reeds used 8 lb Sensor reel line, doesn't cast or sink like the 3lb Maxima. A 0.3 gram paste floats (hasn't really worked for me here yet). A 0.4 gram RJ slim and two Ronnie rigs primarily to trial some prototype floats by RJ and me.
GB hasn't been working that well so only brought some dry in case, which was
to stay dry. Having trial shotted the long Ronnie rig it wasn't used. Started on the short Ronnie rig and had the usual run of micro Perch on LR's over loose fed same, a few nuisance Rudd (LOL) and some distressed Ronnie's which have suffered during spawning. Out on the waggler with double LR's - one in blunt end and one in pointy end - pointy end first as tendency to come off otherwise. catted a few LR's and had a 5 lb carp first cast and landed fairly easy - sorted - not. Spent the next hour battling carp in the reads opposite and not winning one. Had to cast close, further away didn't get a bite. Did get two Skimmers before waving the white hanky committing to defeat, Common carp are too quick for me. Back on the Ronnie rig and hooked a big carp which broke me, so on to RJ and had a run of decent carp to 12 lb losing a few for various not to mention embarrassing reasons. Netted six scale perfect beautiful carp, with last half hour produced nothing.
My few silvers weighed 6 lb 10 oz but didn't expect to catch many from this peg at moment. The six carp weighed 54 lb 10 oz for third total of 61 lb 4 oz. Got too memorised fishing the waggler today but was fun - not. Thinking of going back to my old favourite blue Middy elastic.
The match was won by Andy Gard (pictured) with 84 lb 6 oz from peg 20. Andy caught on the waggler and maggot over to the bare bank. He also lost a few. Well done matey.
The silver was won by John Osbourne (pictured) with 12 lb 4 oz from peg 19. John caught on the pole over to the far bank at 15 metres on maggot over potted maggot. Well done matey.
