Weight - 20lb 7oz
Catch - 3 Carp, 1 Roach
Weather - Drizzly start. Warm & sunny later.
Match - Tackle Den (20 fished) - 6th overall, 2nd in section
The last time I fished the Inner Snake Lake was 13 years ago
and the feedback when requesting up to date information was not to bother!
We had 20 today and I would have been happy with any of the
3 corners of the triangular lake. I ended up on peg 2 (permanent peg 68) which had
some reeds on the far bank and I was hopeful of a few fish.
Not much to write about. After an hour and no bites, despite
trying the pole, method and straight lead, I started feeding maggot at 6m. I eventually
caught a roach on maggot and thought about sticking with it, but the fish was tiny.
Brian to my right had already caught a few roach but had nothing of any size
and I decided to return back to focusing on the carp, as I just couldn’t see me
building any weight.
I also tried meat over a short line and groundbait/dead
maggot down the margins, but no signs of any fish. I have to say this is
probably the worst commercial lake I have fished in a long time.
On a positive note, I tried a new So Simple groundbait
called Top G, which has a garlic smell. In the later stages of the match, I fed
some loose groundbait in with the paste to create some scent in the water and
caught the 2 late carp. As there were no carp caught either side of me, I did
feel feeding quite negatively along the far bank and using the paste as a
target bait was the right on the day.
I had the best weight on my bank, finishing 2nd
in section and as expected 2 of the corners were the place to be.
