Catch - 20 Carp, 5 F1, 4 Ide, 1 Perch
Weather - Cloudy, rain late on.
Match - Tackle Den (21 fished) - 1st on lake, 3rd overall
With 21 of us, we were equally spread over canals 2, 3 &
4. As usual everyone wanted canal 3 or 4, however I found myself on canal 2 for
the 4th time recently. At least this time I was at the better end in
the shape of p67.
On the all-in I decided to try corn, tapping in fishery
micros hoping for an early mug carp. Fishing at 11.5m by the aerator I caught
an F1 and then a 5lb carp 11.5m at the bottom of the near shelf towards the end
bank. By switching between the 2 swims, I caught a further 4 carp, before the
swims dried up.
A switch to dobbin bread along the far bank proved unsuccessful.
Next, I tried tapping in 
maggot, again against the far bank, but it just didn’t
feel right.
Since I had already caught on corn, I decided to set up a
new rig to fish corn against the far bank over micros, reasoning that
presenting a target bait would be better for the carp. And so it proved as I
had a run of fish switching between swims either side of the aerator, with the right-hand
swim being much better.
I did have a spell where I foul hooked and lost 3 fish on
the bounce, which was frustrating, so I just rested the swim. I caught a few
silvers and an F1 over a short maggot line, however the line didn’t do much
else. I also started feeding micros next to the pallet of p68 and caught a
couple more fish on corn.
My last fish was a 5lber on maggot late from the left margin.
I’ve had a lovely day, constantly switching swims to keep
the fish coming and it was a pleasant surprise to catch so well on corn.
