Sunday 10/09/2023 - PSV Club match - Ivy House - Match Lake

Stepped outside this morning as dawn approached to see a wonderful sky of multiple greys in a strange glorious formation. Wondered at it for a while getting the urge to get a canvas and acrylic's out, wonders of nature.

Travelled with Glenn early enough we thought for breakfast at the fishery we didn't get to eat it until draw time - very nice worth the wait.

A shame only 10 fishing, can't help thinking the club needs to advertised for a few more members. 

Peg 5 for me which I have drawn a few times but have yet only managed second in the silvers each time, beaten by big Skimmers.

Set up long and short silvers rigs. Caught six Skimmers on the worm and caster before feeding the GB which brought the Carp in they seem to love it. After resting it could only catch Ronnie's afterwards. So got my head down for the Ronnie's but loose feed was a no no which the Carp also liked the sound and taste of. So quite cupping in order. Had a lovely days fishing catching Ronnie's from 2 to 4 oz. Two hours to go the heavens opened up with extreme heavy rain - another wonder of nature! This seemed to get the Carp excited as they became a nuisance.

The silvers weighed 25 lb 6 oz for second again from this peg. Had 4 tiny Carp for 1 lb 2 oz!! Nonetheless very enjoyable match.

James (pictured with his catch) won the match from peg 3 with 137 lb. James caught mostly from each margin - one side corn over corn the other maggot over maggot. Well done matey.

The Silvers was won by Matt Taynton (pictured with the winner) from match end peg 8 with 36 lb 11 oz of Skimmers. Matt caught on chopped worm and caster. Well dome matey.

Me, Glenn, Bela and Acorn bagger Gary Bowden with double weekend match wins met up in the White Harte for a pint. Perfect end to the day even though Glenn's underpants were still squelching from the rain 💧😀
