22/02/25 - Harescombe - Doughnut

Weight - 11lb 8oz
Catch - 6 Carp
Weather - Sunny and breezy
Match - Open (15 fished) - 5th overall, 2nd in section

As it was the 4th round of the teams of 4 tomorrow, I decided to fish todays open to stay in touch with the lake.

With 15 fishing today pegging was always going to be a little tight and I wasn’t disappointed to draw p21 (again!) although I was in the middle of a line of 7. However, with milder weather we all hoped the fish would have a bit of a munch.

Well, there isn’t a lot to talk about. I started across to the far bank dobbing maggot but never had a bite. I then tried tapping a few maggots and a tiny nugget of groundbait, which produced a fish straight away, but then I couldn’t get another!

The cross wind was making presentation difficult and I couldn’t get a bite over any feed, I just caught the odd fish across dobbing maggot.

Surprisingly the lake had switched off. Fortunately, my 6 carp were slightly bigger than Chris Telling’s 6 to claim the section by default.

1.    40-  0 – Ronaldo – p19
2.    18-  3 – Andy Fry – p5
3.    17-  9 – Chris Cameron – p11
4.    13-  1 – George Organ – p13
5.    11-  8 – Ken Rayner – p21
