Catch - 15 Carp, 5 F1, 8 Rudd, 5 Ide
Weather - Cold & cloudy
Match - Tackle Den (21 fished) - 5th overall
The first match of 2025 for the Tackle Den group and
presentations of last year’s matches were made. Well done Andy Black for
winning the aggregate league who was too good beating me with one match remaining.
Plumbing up revealed a lot of unseen trailing vegetation along
the far bank and something to be aware of.
I started as usual dobbin bread across resulting in only 2
small rudd. I soon got bored of that and started tapping in micros and fishing
4mm expander, fishing a metre off the far bank.
It was slow going, but at least I was catching. When the
action stopped, I tried a new swim fishing tapping in maggot and caught a few more
fish before I started getting harassed by tiny rudd, which prompted a switch back
to tapping in micros and fishing 4mm expander.
I stayed on the pellet for the rest of the match catching
from 2 swims on the far side. I did catch a few fish over a short maggot line,
but it wasn’t as good as the far line and I never had a bite from my margins.
Overall, today was a little frustrating due to the fish
swimming up and down the canal at mid depth, which did result in a few foul
hookers and to be honest I didn’t feel I got it completely right today, as I
should have caught more.
