Weight – 12lb 10oz
Catch – 9 Perch, 6 Roach, 2 Carp, 1 Skimmer
Weather – Showery start, turning calm & cold.
Water Temp– 9.5c > 9.5c
Match – Open - 7th overall
As I was driving to the venue, I wondered whether it would ever stop raining. For what must be 3 weeks now its been wet & windy. When checking the weather forecast for this weekend, depending on which site you looked at, we would either have 20mph winds with 55mph gusts or it would be flat clam, so not even the weatherman could make up their minds. Having said that Saturdays weather looked better than Sunday.
I found myself on peg 23 which Mike decided to put in instead of 24. In fact looking at it the peg did offer me more options. The tree on the right hand bank was at 17m and the island was at 15m, with plenty of open water in between.
The main concern today was the extra water in the lake, following the rain and it was clear, so a challenging day was anticipated.
I started with ½ a cup of green swim groundbait & 3mm pellets at 14m, plus some caster by the island. 1st put in was by the tree without feeding to see if I could snare a mug fish, with corn on the hook. A few liners indicated fish in the swim & 10 mins later I hooked a carp, but unfortunately I wasn't quick enough throwing 17m of pole behind me and the fish snagged me in the sunken branches.
I decided to let that swim settle and switched to the island and immediately had a 3 perch and 2 roach on double caster, then nothing. This was the pattern for the rest of the match. I couldn't get a run of fish.
My groundbait swim didn't produce a bite, I set up a couple more swims, but the most consistent spots where by the island and under the tree. I even tried under the pallet on peg 24, but only had 3 fish. Ideally I would have preferred to fished my lighter rig my the tree, but I couldnt risk it, because any carp would have done me. When bites stopped I tried flicking casters over to the tree to encourage the carp from under it, but they just weren't having it. The guy on peg 1 wasn't fishing longer than 13m, so there was plenty of room for the carp to sulk away and flicking casters over wasn't working.
On reflection, could I have caught more? Possibly, but the bright, flat conditions meant it wasn't easy. I had 6lb 2oz of silvers and only needed another 1¼lb to pick up in the silvers, all beit by double default.
Rod won the match from peg 21 with 39lb. All his fish came to his left to towards peg 20, so perhaps there wasn't that many carp close to me. Garry was 2nd with 34lb from peg 11, which included 15lb of silvers and Mike was 3rd with 30lb from peg 19, again with 15lb of silvers.
I'm not too disponate about today, because I have had a good run so far this season and the law averages suggested I was due a complete blow out.

22/11/09 - Lands End - Johns Lake
Weight – 54lb 15oz
Catch – 13 Crucian, 9 Carp, 9 Roach, 4 Bream, 3 Tench
Weather – Windy & showery
Water Temp– 11.0c > 11.0c
No match today, instead I took Richard Higgs fishing, who recently brought a load of 2nd hand kit. Rich has fished before, but now wanted to go more regularily and he has been pumping me for information, so I suggested a trip to Lands End
Tony had a match on Match & Speci, so I settled on fishing Johns lake, but with a windy day forecast I set up on peg 55 at the far end of the lake, with Rich on peg 54. At least these pegs are a bit more sheltered and the wind usually comes from behind, so I could fish the pole.
I kept things simple fishing pellet or corn at 13-14m, feeding 3mm pellet & corn. Initially potted pellet & corn every 3rd fish, but it became obvious the fish wanted feeding and a toss pot of feed every put in kept the fishing coming.
Most of the silvers came early in the session, on soft pellet, but as more feed went in the carp arrived and most where caught on corn. I also caught a couple carp on the lead, cast into the swim on peg 57 opposite, when ever the pole swim went quiet or the wind really picked up.
Overall a nice stress free day. As for Rich he caught his 1 and only a carp 1st cast on his carp rod, but I set him up with a waggler so at least he caught a few silvers close in.

15/11/09 - Fishponds
Weight - 27lb 4oz
Catch - 3 Carp, 3 Roach, 2 Rudd, 1 Bream
Weather - Mostly sunny, 1 heavy shower
Water Temp - 10.5c > 10.0c
Match - Club Match - 4th overall
16 turned up today’s club match, which was higher than expected and we were all relieved that the weather had improved from yesterdays storms. However a sudden change in the weather doesn’t usually bode well for the fishing and with the volume of rain that fell yesterday I was expecting a hard match.
I found myself on peg 12 which has a nick name of “dead mans corner” and it rarely frames, so I had my work cut out. The peg looks very fishy, with plenty of reeds in the left hand corner, but in a match the peg is cut off by pegs 11 & 13 and with the wind blowing on the other side of the lake a difficult day was likely.
Decided on 3 areas, 12m into the left hand corner, 14m at 1o’clock (wanted to give myself some extra room from peg 11) and the bottom of the right hand marginal shelf. Green Swim Stim, micro pellet with a pinch of 4mm and corn went in at 14m, I was hoping to pull in a few bream as well as create some activity from small silvers. 4mm & corn went into the margins.
Tried the RH margin straight away, but never had a bite. In fact despite trying I never had a bite from this swim all match, not sure why, but I think Chris was feeding the margin from peg 13 may have had an effect.
A small roach on maggot from my 14m line was my 1st fish after 30mins and the fishing generally around the lake was very slow. Pellet and corn failed to produce on the 14m line, so another ball of groundbait went in and I decide to fish over it straight away on maggot to gauge the response. 15mins later I connected with a large carp, which was safely landed. At 12lb 7oz it put me in contention and a 3lb bream, 20mins later was very useful, but unfortunately other than a few small silvers and a lost foul hooked carp this line didn’t much more.
At the half way stage it was time to try the corner. 1st put in on double hair rigged corn the float buried and a near 6lb carp was landed. 2nd put in the float buried again, but missed it. With no more bites another rotation of swims was required, as well as setting up 2 more swims, 8m in the LH margin and 14.5m in front.
I had 1 more carp from the corner with an hour to go, but when the heavy rain shower cleared the wind dropped completely and the sun shone. Even those that had been catching struggled during the last hour.
Ian won the match from peg 21 with 57-6, 2nd was Beevor from peg 17 with 37-5 and Dave was 3rd from peg 20 with 35-1. Finishing 4th was a good result, particularly since the pegs either side didn’t weigh, in fact there was only 1 other carp caught in my area of the lake.
On a slightly different note, I hear anglers complaining about breaking their poles and how certain makes are crap. I have an N47, which isn’t the strongest pole around, but I have never broken a section whilst playing a fish, only though my own stupidity. I do also have a J27, which is much stronger (and heavier) for margin fishing. Most pole breakages, regardless of make are down to human error, however there are some who just can’t be told. There are a couple in our club, who once they hook a carp, insist on trying to lift the carp to the surface with 13m of pole! One in particular did this a couple of times, on what I suspect was heavy elastic and he was surprised when the carp pulled free. The bigger surprise for me was how his pole didn’t break! Probably made by Carlsberg who probably make the strongest poles in the world.

08/11/09 Lands End - Speci Lake
Weight - 26lb 12oz
Catch - 10 Perch, 7 Roach, 5 Chub, 4 Bream, 3 Rudd, 1 Carp
Weather - Cold NW wind & showers
Water Temp - 10.5c > 10.5c
Match - Lands End Winter League rd2 - 24th overall, 2nd in section
Apologised for the late blog on last Sundays match,however my laptop crashed, fortunately only £80 to fix. But why do all the bills arrive when you can least afford them?
The 2nd round of the Lands End Winter League and I was a little underwhelmed to find myself on peg 26 (Speci), because to get good section points you had to beat the normally more reliable pegs 25, 31 & 32.
This week the weather had turned much colder, with the water temperature dropping to 10.5c, so a hard match was likely and with a cold north westerly wind blowing into my face also meant an uncomfortable match.
The island was 17m away and I really wanted to avoid fishing that long, plus I wasn’t confident there would be too many carp sat on top the shelf. Initially started 15m at 11o’ clock and 13m at 1o’clock, fishing soft pellet or corn. After 90mins I had 4 skimmers, the biggest being about 1½lb, but everyone in my section was struggling.
I had fed some caster towards the pallet on peg 27, but could only catch small perch & roach, and even those weren’t coming quickly.
With 2 hours gone, the only swim I hadn’t tried was the island, but I felt I had no choice because I was starting to lose ground on the others in my section. Russ on 25 had caught a few silvers down the LH bank, Mat Dark on 28 had 1 carp and I was fairly certain that Chris & Liam on pegs 31 & 32 had a carp each.
So I bite the bullet and went 17m, feeding caster. Initially went over on my carp rig, but it was obvious there were none around, so a change to a lighter rig resulted in a run of perch & roach, but sport was never hectic, although 4x 1lb perch dropping off the hook as I shipped back was irritating.
As the match progressed a pattern emerged, where I would get a few decent silvers before the small roach intervened, at which point I would rest the swim and try elsewhere. With 2½ hours to go I tried the pallet swim again, but again nothing of value. Time to consider my options. The only place I could catch was at 17m.
My open water swims were lifeless, although I did try fishing away from where I had fed, but I now needed a carp for decent points because everyone now had at least 1. I felt the best place to catch one would be down the margin, because Mat already had a couple and lost a couple fishing to his right, so I started to fed a little heavier down the edge. I would spend 20mins fishing the far side, then fish the margins for 10mins and just keep rotating, at least this way I would keep fish coming to the net so when I hopefully had a carp, I would have a decent silvers net to go with it.
With an hour to go I realised I was fishing for 2nd in section because Mat now had 3 carp, 2 of which were double figures. A run of chublets at 17m was very useful but I still needed a carp, with 20mins to go another pot of food went in by the pallet, but this time I fed just caster. A quick rotation of swims yielded nothing. 5mins to go, back to the pallet with corn on the hook, 3mins to go I was attached to a carp! Great, just got to land it. A rather tense 10mins later I had a very large carp in the net. Russ was gutted, because he knew my 1 fish would probably weigh as much as his total catch.
As it was he weighed 15-7, my silvers weighed 9-14 and my carp was 16-14, a proper bonus fish. Mat won the section with 41-7, Chris didn’t weigh, which left Liam on peg 32. He weighed 26-11, but my weight had been recorded as 26-8, so he thought he clinched 2nd in section, however after a check of the weigh sheets my weight was corrected to 26-12, so I got 2nd in section by 1oz. This means after 2 rounds I am currently 8th overall

30/10/09 - Lands End - Match Lake
Weight – 53lb 8oz
Catch – 9 Carp, 2 Bream, 1 Crucian
Weather – Mostly sunny & calm
Water Temp– 14.0c > 14.0c
Match – Open – 3rd overall
The weather dictated whether I would fish Saturday or Sunday, with Sundays forecast for gales and rain. As I write this blog on Sunday morning, looking outside I know I made the right to decision because it’s hosing it down and the wind is pushing the trees sideways.
Today I was going for my 5th pick up on the bounce, but found myself on peg 1. This is only the 3rd time I have drawn here, however recent results from the peg have been disappointing and looking at the results for the last 4 matches, showed between 26 & 36lb.
Carp or silvers? I felt I was up against it today, on what has been a very average peg recently. There was a few carp boshing by the island and under the tree at 17m along the left hand bank, so I decided on the carp, although I did set up a swim in open water, feeding micro pellet for the skimmers.
I started at the bottom the shelf by the island and after 10 mins had a skimmer on corn. In fact that was the only fish I had corn, everything else came to Tony’s soft pellet. Another skimmer and a crucian came from the open water swim, but with it being bright and flat the skimmers didn’t want to feed.
All the while I had been flicking 4mm along the left hand bank hoping to draw the carp from under the tree, as well as keeping the bottom of the island shelf topped up again with 4mm.
The LH bank produced a small carp within 5mins of trying, but other than 1 other that snagged me in the tree I never had another fish from this swim. I was getting indication, but no proper bites. Mike West on 24 was having the same problem.
Half way into the match I only had 2 carp, plus my silvers. I thought about switching feed to caster and trying for some silvers, but I couldn’t see the point, because I was way behind in the silvers pool, so I stuck with the carp. Fabio on peg 3 already had 6 or 7 and I could hear Rod Wootten on peg 6 catching, so I needed a late surge.
I couldn’t get any proper indications fishing down the shelf, the LH bank was proving frustrating, so I started flicking 4mm tight to the island which saw a further 2 carp netted. With 70 minutes to go I was up to 4.
I kept the feed going into the island, but also decided to deposit ¾pt caster, pellet & corn tight into my RH margin. There were carp moving around the island now and I decided to shallow up even further to get tighter across. In the last hour I landed 5 carp, 2 from the RH margin and 3 tight to the island. All of sudden I thought
I might be in with a shout of framing, however speaking to others I started thinking 4th would be the best I could hope for.
The weigh in started in reverse from peg 24, Kev Molton weighed 46lb from peg 18, and Alan Oram had 66lb from peg 16. Darren Roberts 10 carp from peg 11 went 49lb and Rod won the match with 69lb. Dave Wescott won the silvers from peg 5 with 19lb and Fabio’s 9 carp went 32lb (proper squeakers).
So I needed 49lb to frame and I honestly thought I had 40-45lb. My silvers weighed 4½lb, but when I lifted my carp net it felt close to 50lb and decided on 2 weighs. The 1st went 32lb, which meant my remaining 3 carp had to be more than 12½lb and I was really pleased when the needle settled on 17lb.
Overall really happy with how I approached the match. The turning point was taking 2 decent carp from my right hand margin and shallowing up further to get tight to the island. The water temperature had increased to 14c, which probably why the fish didn’t really want to settle on the deck.
