22/04/17 - Sedges - Tile

Weight - 4lb 8oz
Catch - 5 Skimmers, 1 Carp
Weather - Mostly sunny, north westerly breeze
Match - Coops Guru series - rd 3


The less said about today the happier I will be!

Drew p36, which is in the best section this series (p36-p40), so happy with that, but with the wind blowing towards p40 thought I might struggle in the section. But what happened over the next 6 hours was a bit of a head scratcher.

The wind was blowing at me, so fishing the waggler was difficult but there were a few fish showing themselves, however after an hour I managed to hook 2 and lose 2. Several tries with the hybrid feeder didn't produce, which was really frustrating since I was dropping the feeder nice and tight to the island, yet Mark Bellringer on p35 on the other side of the island finished the match with 114lb, mostly on the feeder!

The only fish I caught was on the pole at 13m and 4mm expander and a lost foul hooked carp on the short meat line.

Overall the lakes didn't fish well, due to the carp being pr.e-occupied with eating skimmer spawn, but still a very frustrating day
