Culpins calamities rnd 3 Sedges tile

Didn’t know what to expect with the weather so was prepped for worst!!! Wanted to draw anywhere wind of my back so 21 to 30 or I would’ve taken 40 😜. But it wasn’t to be 2nd to last in the bucket I pulled out peg 36 great howling wind in my face all day with heavy showers. At times I thought I was on the titanic!!πŸ˜‚ anyways plan was simple expanders over 4mm top 7 at 11 o clock and meat at same range at 2 o’clock and method to island. For company I had emma drysdale to my left which would be a good battle as we were joint top and I been winding her up saying I was gonna bash her up πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ other side of me was guest Ricky mills. At the all in I fed my 2 pole lines and went straight in on the pellet 10 fruitless minutes passed by little dink on the float and I’ve struck into s small skimmer not what I was after but will take anything. In the first hour put 4 of these little bliters in the net and was going knowhere fast so thought I would try the meat line nothing doing on that so out with the method with some dodgey casting some goin into Ricky’s peg and the bush on island and method breaking up in flight 😱😱😑😑 I finally got my act together and started hitting the spot but to no avail just liners and little plucks. 2 hours in now couldn’t get a bite anywhere and it started hammering down great what am I gonna do??? Couldn’t see a lot happening elsewhere so just stuck on my lines rotating them finally had a carp on my pellet swim and then a foul hooked on the meat which snapped me up 😑😑😫😫 it was gonna be one of those days in the end I managed 2 more carp and 3 more skimmers it was rock hard with the wind making presentation difficult but I’m not one to moan I soldiered on πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ 3 pm I felt like packing up !! 430 finally came round and I shouted all out packed up like lightning and got round to start weighing in round the other side it was like a different world warm and calm they caught shallow and on method as it turned out Simon ryall won the match with 119 pound Adrian Jeffries 2nd with 106 and Chris zacks 3rd with 102 pound Ron stark won the silvers with 8 pound. I managed to beat Emma from next door with 31 pound and I took the 1 section point as Chris zacks guest doesn’t count in the league although he picked up section money πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ so 3 rounds in 3 points very happy with that emma drysdale was not so happy I was giving her some stick as I put her fish back after weighing then she nearly pushed me in and only just saved me then made a very sharp exit it’s only a bit of banter emma πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚  roll on November the 5th round 4 landsend all to play for no pics weather was rubbish.. hope everyone had a great weekend and well done to all the people who fished and battled with Brian thanks for reading πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ˜ƒ

Culpins calamities autumn series rnd 2 sedges brick

So it was rnd 2 of this little 17 man league and after starting well in rnd 1 was hoping for another section win. After sorting all the monies and a quick cuppa it was draw Time fancied a corner but pulled 17 pretty much middle of the lake  on arrival to the peg there was some bubbling going on at top 6 at 10 o'clock thought this would be my meat line I also had a pellet line at 2 o'clock same range. Also set up bomb for towards the rope and fished it conker style and had pellet wag for over the top. To my left I had jim Doughty and to the right πŸ₯œ steve Howell so we would have some banter at the all in I've gone in short on the meat line after 15 mins slipped the net under a good skimmer not what I was after but still 2 pound in the net . After another 15 more mins with no action I chucked the bomb out where I had been catapulting 8mm screttings second cast and it's gone round skimmer about a pound come on where's the carps !!!! Stayed on this line most of the day really had 1 carp on pellet wag and 1 on the meat line but it was a struggle not a lot was happening In are section so was quite happy just picking off odd fish steve to my right looked to be doing well on the silvers and so it proved as he won the silvers with 25 pound odd. I also foul hooked a good eel that was another 2 pound in the net but did cost me a hooklength 😑😭 dave white who was guesting today came to the scales with a good fish of 15.4 oz and said that was his 18th carp with a big grin knowing he was gonna take a pound off me πŸ˜«πŸ˜«πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ never mind come the end I called the all in and me clicker said 55 pound ish on to the weighing in section 1 to 6 was won by jonny page with 69 ish pounds section 8 to 13 was won by dave white who won the match with 150 pound odd and I won my section comfortably with 60 odd pound and steve howler Howell won the silvers as we are sharing monies on this series we both took home £50 so quite happy really emma drysdale won her section by default with 70 odd pound it did fish quite hard today with bright sunshine and not much wind. There was only one did not weigh ray bass oh dear !!!! But his peg was full of algae or some piss pour excuse πŸ˜‚πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ and floating meat !!!!!! Think most enjoyed the day tho next one in 2 weeks sedges tile hopefully I can get another section win or hopefully more 🀞🀞sorry no pics I forgot big thanks to Jamie and Denise at the fishery for accomadating us and to ron stark doing the thank less task of the paper work points scores weights.
