Weight - 48lb 3oz
Carp - 11 Carp
Weather - Wet & cold overnight. Cool and breezy.
Match - Tackle Den (15 fished) - 6th overall, 2nd in section
Following a cold wet day yesterday and more cold overnight
rain, the general feeling was the lake would fish hard. The good news was the
ground was still hard enough to drive around the lake, you just had to avoid
some soft spots.
The plan of attack was quite simple. Start on the method to
the small island opposite, feed 6mm pellet at 20m to fish the straight lead and
feed meat down each margins, although the pole line was more out of hope than
expectation.
It took me 55mins before I netted my first fish, after switching
from a 6mm yellow wafter to 8mm meat soaked in A-krill cloud, fishing with P-nut
micros and Uzit GLM Betaine Green groundbait, with a squeeze of GLM or Krill.
It’s fair to say the action was steady rather than hectic.
After initially casting every 5mins, I found it best to wait 10mins, with bites
coming between 6-9mins. If I didn’t get a bite after 2 casts, I would switch to
the 20m line without success, but usually I would get another fish on the
feeder when I returned.
It was noticeable I needed to keep feeding the groundbait to
keep the fish coming and later on switched back to fishing a yellow wafter.
The last hour was quite disappointing as my feeder line had
dried up and I couldn’t get a bite over the 20m line and my margins were full
of roach.
In the end I only lost 1 carp and a small fish (which I
think was a carp), and as expected the majority of the weights came from around
the large island or the far bank. Even Pete who won our section was able cast
long to the island, so the fish have yet to properly spread out.
