Catch - 27 Carp, 4 F1s, 6 Skimmers
Weather - Sun & sunny
Match - Tackle Den (17 fished) - 4th overall, 2nd in section
Also, due to the hot weather the match was cut to 5hrs and
the net limit lowered to 40lb.
On the all-in I started at 14m fishing So Simple Kriller
paste, just feeding a few 6mm fishery pellet, hoping for a couple of early
bonus fish. After 25mins I had 3 fish for 10lb.
A switch to fishing the method loaded with fishery micros
boosted with Kriller Sludge and Fluro Crush, fishing a 6mm yellow or pink
wafter, produced some very small carp. I tried fishing the straight lead and
8mm pellet to hopefully target a better stamp fish. I never had a bite, but after
immediately retrying the method caught a couple of better stamp fish.
Whilst fishing the method I prepped a shallow 14m line
feeding 6mm pellet, trying a couple of different shallow rigs without success.
I had also been feeding pellet over a 5m line. Initially,
fishing a 6mm pellet, catching a couple of carp. Switching to paste after
resting the swim I had a good run of fish for 90mins, just feeding 6s after
each fish.
With an hour remaining a few skimmers showed and the swim
slowed, so I fed a ½ cup of micros and 4s to kick start the swim but only had 2
more fish over this line.
I also tried the method in the last hour without success and
despite feeding micros and 4s down my right margin (more in hope than
expectation) I had no indications other than from silvers, which wasn’t a
surprise.
Andy Dixey won the match next to me thanks to a late run
down his margin as Terry on the other side of him wasn’t feeling well after
taking a tumble in the car park and packed up early. Hopefully you’re ok.
To be fair I was quite happy to claim 4th overall
from where I was, it was just a shame the last hour just died on me.
