Catch - 9 Carp, 11 Bream, 3 Tench, 3 Roach, 2 Hybrid, 2 Ide
Weather - Sunny with cloudy periods. Warm.
Match - Club (8 fished) - 3rd overall
This was the last evening match this summer, as its now
getting a little too dark for the weigh ins at 9.00pm.
The left margin is deep at 5ft, whilst the right margin was
at 3.5ft. I decided to feed the left margin first with meat and pellet, and the
same again in another swim at 2+2 off to my right in the same depth of water so
I could use the same rig, leaving the right margin until later.
Starting on the hybrid feeder to the far bank I was flirting
with some overhanging branches and first cast caught a small carp. Second cast
I caught the overhanging branches and lost the lot!
Switching to the left margin, I immediately started
catching, mostly silvers with just the occasional small carp on 8mm meat,
although I did lose a decent sized foul hooked carp. My secondary swim to my
right only produced small silvers, so after an hour I stopped feeding it and
started feeding my right-hand margin heavily with micros and meat.
The left margin kept producing during the second hour,
regularly toss potting meat and 4mm pellet but as yet no proper carp and the right-hand
margin only produced a bream, a small ide and tench.
With an hour to go I probably had about 40lb. I eventually
caught an 11lber from the left margin. As for the right margin, I was still feeding
aggressively with micros (feeding 3pts), 4s and meat and caught 5 carp on
double 8mm meat to finish the match with 82lb, which was the best weight on my
side of the lake.
However, the Ince brothers, Steve and Tom have dominated the
evening matches this year claiming 1st and 2nd place – so
well done to them.
As for me I was just glad to have a decent draw and a lovely
evening’s fishing.
