Match spilt in two 8 on Margret's and 7 on George's so loads of room. Paying top 3 on each - no silvers 😢.
Into Alcove draw bag and out comes peg 17 on Margret's again. A great peg and third time I've drawn it, but a tad disappointed as would have preferred one of the many pegs I have yet to fish.
Simple plan start on the maggot feeder to see if the big Chub would oblige, then into the LH margin for Carp with a RJ 0.3 gram slim. No point in fishing for small fish today. The first issue was it's very overgrown down both margins. I tried to clear the LH as best I could but was hampered by bramble's. So was left to fish in 3 foot. Need to get tooled up next match to give it a real go.
A hour on the feeder drove me mad getting ragged by small Chub and Ronnie's. No decent Chub, so it was into the margin with sweet corn hook bait over sweet corn and 4's feed, where a surprise was awaiting in the shape of five Bream to 4 lb and was subsequently pestered by small Chub. Went quite and started to foul hook Carp due to the depth, loosing them all, could see the Carp sneaking down from tight against the bank, more frustration. Did land two in the mouth late on though. Couldn't do the peg justice today.
Weighed 17 lb 7 oz accidental silvers and two Carp 15 lb 07 oz for third on Margret's.
The match and Georges was won by Kev Murch with 71 lb 12 oz from peg 3. Kev caught long on the pole using meat. However, his day had a set back breaking his number 5 section in the process. Two other anglers suffering a similar fate. Not surprising as three of Kev's fish went 40 lb! Well done matey.
Andy Brookman was runner up with 68 lb 11 oz taking the win from Margret's peg 13. Andy caught on the method over to the island and later short on paste. Well done matey.
Think these two got Alcove the win over RBL.
Weigh Sheets (muddle by a rewrite silvers and Carp mixed and weights but overall correct, no silvers/Carp columns?)
