I don’t normally fish tight across as its 3-4ft deep and foul hookers can be a problem, but I still decided to try, however this line was soon binned as I couldn’t get a proper bite. It wasn’t until I fished hair rigged 4mm kriller pellet, tapping in 4mm baninion boosted fishery pellet at the bottom of the far shelf that I started to catch small carp over the next couple of hours.
As the day progressed a few cruisers started to appear and I caught 1, but they weren’t that interested in feeding as I dropped a pellet in front of one fish 3 times and it refused to take the bait.
Moving into the 2nd half of the match I kept the far line swim going by moving slightly left of my original swim and starting pinging pellet. In the meantime, I started feeding pellet & corn down the left margin, corn at 3+2 to my right and finally micros into my right margin where I found 18in of water.
The far line kept producing small carp and whenever it needed resting, I would try the left margin, which only produced 1 fish all match and the right hand 3+2 line.
With an hour remaining I was doing well on the lake but felt I needed to catch some of the better sized carp to consolidate my position. I noticed a few swirls down the right margin and had 4 carp for about 18lb on paste (kriller :blue ice) which proved to be very useful securing 2nd overall and winning the lake.
