Weight - 53lb 3oz
Catch - 24 Carp, 2 Skimmers, 1 F1, 1 Crucian, 1 Roach
Weather - Mostly sunny, with cloudy periods
Match - Tackle Den (17 fished) - 7th overall, 2nd in section
With 19 booked in we were spread over Kingfisher and
Moorhen, which meant nearly every peg in. However, 2 anglers didn’t fish and
the 2 pegs not drawn were both on Moorhen, which would mean more space.
As for me I drew p42 on Kingfisher. A decent draw, but I
expected it to be tough going, with pegs in either side.
In fact, I had a terrible start. Initially, I tried paste
tight across, which is usually worth a few fish, but lost 1 foul hooker and put
an F1 the wrong side of the keepnet in the first 30mins.
Trying pellet at the bottom of the shelf only produced 2
fish and fishing shallow I caught another, although I also lost 2. So, after
3hrs I only had 3 fish in the net!
Moving back to fishing paste tight across I started
catching, which was strange after my earlier struggles.
I had also started feeding both margins, which started slowly,
however I kept feeding micros and 4s, and fishing paste meant I managed some
better stamp fish. Fortunately, that late run meant I picked up the section
money by default. Felt I got away with one today.
