Match - Open (7 fished) - 2nd overall
As I was due to fish the Teams of 3, I jumped on today’s
open on Meadow Lake to get a feel for the lake as it’s been 8 years since I last
fished here.
On the all in a ball of U-zit black bubblegum & crushed
expander mixed 50:50 with 2mm p-nut pellet was fed at 11m in 6ft of water. I also fed 10 cubes of 7mm meat dyed with
yellow bubblegum with 2mm pellet under the willow to my right in 5ft of water.
I spent the first 45mins on the lead trying different areas
of the swim with bread or meat, but never had a bite.
on the 11m line. Fishing with a 0.5g SM chimp and maggot which produced a couple of roach, before catching a small carp, but I was getting ragged by the roach. A switch to 4mm expander meant I had to wait for a bite, but it produced a 2lb tench and then a 2lb skimmer.
Looking around the whole lake it was fishing hard with only
a few carp being caught and I hoped my meat line would produce a few fish late.
As it turned out the last 2hrs was quite good, just toss potting 6 bits of meat
plus a few micros. Fishing a 0.3g Ackoo carrat, I initially 
had to wait for a bite, but in the last 30mins I had to cut out the micros as I was getting liners and bites were coming much quicker.

As a back line I had been pinging corn & 4mm pellet to
my left in the shallower end of the lake, without success.
Come the end it was between myself and Steve Venn on the
opposite bank as we had the same number of carp, but ultimately, he had a
couple of proper lumps which swung the result his way. So, 2nd for
me, which I was pleased with and gave me a few ideas for Sunday.
