Thirty fishing which now day's is a good turn out, very hard to find local matches with this number of anglers. Fifteen anglers on Margret's and 15 on George's.
No preference where I drew as I'm a novice on this venue and don't really know which are the better pegs. So Georges peg 10 for me. Arrived at the peg which looked really fishy, plus a small island opposite - WAGGLER UMMY. Told it was the home of some large Carp, however, it would be silvers for me with 0.1 hook length for protection!
The upshot was although a few fish were caught on both pole rigs the lion share by far came from the waggler and maggot and very enjoyable it was too. Once my casting was switched to over the left hand shoulder didn't hook any more trees behind or any of the island bushes. Caught all match until last few minutes. Netted allsorts, Chub to 3 lb, Skimmers to 2 lb and Ronnie's to 12 oz. Wonderful days fishing. Only the one hook length stolen by a Carp.
Weighed 28 lb 8 oz of silvers for both the lake win, silvers win and third overall.
The match was won by Russ Baker (Silverfish a/c - pictured with the match organiser Tony who was overall runner up) with 30 lb 7 oz from Margret's peg 13 catching Carp on the method 3/4 across to the island. Well done matey.
Very enjoyable day for all with a really friendly bunch. Met Alan Jenner whom I last saw at work on the day I retired - 17 years ago.
Having a go at Bitterwell Tuesday with Glenn and Gary.
