Catch - 38 Carp, 25 Skimmers, 3 Roach
Weather - Warm & sunny
Match - Open (12 fished) - 6th overall
I had originally intended to go to Harescombe today, however
with only 3 booked in the match was cancelled. So, I booked into Ivy House on
the Old Match Lake instead.
On the all-in I started at 13m fishing So Simple Kriller
paste, feeding a few damped fishery 4s boosted with Kriller Sludge and I got off
to a good start catching 5 carp in 20mins. Coming a little closer at 11m I kept
catching for the remainder of the first hour, before the swim faded.
The second hour was difficult, trying the method towards the
island for only a few fish and trying shallow proved fruitless.
Going back to the paste I started catching again and the
during the 2nd hour of the match concentrated on fishing at 5m and
down the right margin. Although I did manage to mug one decent carp on 8mm
pellet, most of the of carp I caught were mostly stockies, which were replaced
by skimmers for a while over the 5m line.
The margin was a little hit and miss. Feeding 4s, corn and
occasionally micros, I could see fish coming in and I would catch a couple of
fish, but they wouldn’t stay in the shallow water due to the bright, flat conditions.
By the all-out I had plenty of bites, but too many stockies
and skimmers. Had I caught the same stamp of carp as last week, I would have had
about 115lb. So, a little disappointed to finish with 94lb, but an enjoyable day,
nonetheless.
