Catch - 21 Carp, 11 F1, 1 Roach
Weather - Warm & sunny
Match - Open (14 fished) - 8th overall
I fished todays open in preparation for next Saturdays
Summer League and the lake has been fishing well with a new match of 170lb 7oz
had been set a couple of days ago.
So far fishing paste has been a bit hit and miss, and not as
productive as last year. The same applied to fishing meat, but I was sure with the
lake now fishing so well these baits would come into their own. Just in case
they didn’t I set up a couple of pellet rigs as back up.
On the all-in I started on So Simple Kriller paste down the left
margin, but only had knocks from small fish, in fact the tiny roach were a
right pain at times.
I eventually caught a carp after 30mins on meat against the
end bank but couldn’t catch another.
2 hours into the match I had 3 fish in the net and I really
wondered what was going on.
I had been pinging 4mm baninion pellet towards p24, and when
I switched fishing a 6mm baninion I at last started to catch. When the swim
needed a rest, I caught a couple of fish fishing to the far bank corner with
paste (I couldn’t fish a pellet rig due to scum blowing into the swim).
Going into the last hour I had been feeding micros and 4s
either side on a top kit +1 and had a really good late run all on paste.
Sadly, the poor start cost me as I was only 9lb off claiming
the section.
