Catch - 5 F1, 1 Carp, 1 Tench, 1 Skimmer, 1 Roach
Weather - Warm, sunny & breezy
Match - Tackle Den (17 fished) - 11th overall
I was looking forward to this match, as recent results
showed the venue was fishing well and caster shallow was working.
The match was supposed to be over Windmill and Ash lakes,
however when we arrived, we were told we would all be on Windmill which would
make the fishing harder.
I had Steve Venn to my right on p32 and didn’t expect my
right margin to be productive however my left margin under the tree plumbed up
lovely with a nice flat bottom.
As it turned out the whole lake fished poorly.
I caught a couple of fish early on the method to the island.
My left margin initially produced an F1 and a 5lb carp on 6mm pellet over 4s,
but these were the only fish I caught here.
Despite feeding caster shallow for 3hrs, I never had any indications,
not even from silvers.
I even tried the pellet waggler by the island without
success, which just left a short line fed with meat, which produced 1 F1 and a
skimmer.
A really poor day. In hindsight, would I have changed my
approach. Probably not. Of those around me, we all had a similar number of
fish, it was just I only had 1 carp compared to 2 or 3 that others had caught.
As expected, the windward end of the lake proved to be best.
