Catch - 9 Carp, 9 Skimmers
Weather - Cold & cloudy. Cold north easterly
Match - Open (20 fished) - 1st overall
Mark had a full house today thanks to an equal pay out for
overall and silver winners per section of 5. I quite fancied a day on the
silvers and when I drew p45 thought that’s what I would be doing.
On the all-in I started on the bomb and bread cast ¾ of the away
across to the island. Within a minute the tip rapped round, but the fish came
off halfway across. With no more indications, a switch to the maggot feeder produced
a few liners, but no carp, so I went back to the lead fishing corn this time
and at last netted a carp.
No more followed and I decided to try the pole at 13m fishing
corn (boosted with baninion) over micros (boosted with BMG) pinging 4mm
baninion pellet over the top, catching 2 carp. Despite trying later in the
match these were the only carp I caught over this line.
Back out on the lead and corn, I stayed on this for a couple
of hours and knew I was comfortably winning my section. With an 1hr 45mins to
go I stopped catching and all the liners had also stopped. I felt the fish had
moved off to my right settling in front of the silver fish anglers on p47 and
48.
After unsuccessfully trying the corn line at 13m, I fed a
small ball of groundbait (BMGX: GCS) with BMG micros at 13m to my left. Fishing
double reds I caught 9 small skimmers in 45mins, before returning to the straight
lead and corn for the last 45mins, but I never had another fish.
On the all-out I think everyone was relieved for the match
to finish as the fishing had been extremely hard. Roll on spring.
