Catch - 8 Carp
Weather - CLoudy with sunny periods, windy.
Match - Tackle Den (18 fished) - 9th overall, 5th in section.
A nice short drive for a change to Rood Ashton. With 18
booked in, it was nearly every peg in and with the strong wind blowing into peg
1, I fancied drawing the bottom end of the lake but ended up on p14 on the top
bank with the wind coming off my back.
I caught my 4th fish on meat and straight lead at
25m where I had been pinging 6mm pellet. By the end of the 2nd hour,
I netted my 5th fish back on the feeder and I thought I had a
reasonable start.
Over the next 3hrs I never had a bite no matter what I
tried. I had been feeding meat and micros down my right margin and just micros
down the left. With an hour remaining I eventually had a bite on paste down the
left margin but was a little slow to react and the fish successfully made it to
a snag. 15mins later I had another bite on paste, and I was quicker this time
and managed to net my 6th fish. I never had another bite down the
margin, which to be honest I couldn’t quite believe.
2 more carp on the straight lead and meat concluded what was
a boring match, but at least I managed to top up my hooklength box! As expected,
the bottom end of the lake and woodside bank proved to be best.
