Weather looked bang on for a few overcast slight ripple ssw wind. So rocked up about 830 in time for a quick brew and a bit of banter then into the bucket of dreams quite early and pulled 22 tile lake 🤔 didn’t fancy it too much especially with the winner from last year on my left and year before on my right 😱 oh well just get my head down and try get a few !!!
Plan was gb feeder with maggot hook bait gb mag line at 13m at 11 o clock pellet line at 1 o clock 13m line and a top 6 pellet line 👊. At the all in fed my pole lines and straight on the tip about 35 mins in not even a liner and Jamie park house to my left and bob guillick to my right went on the pole and pretty much straight away started getting bites so I followed suit. Tried the short line first with no joy then the mag line had a skimmer of about a pound thought lovely next drop bumped one 🤬 then had to wait for bites I had 3 more but they were getting smaller by the bite after cad potting too much killed my swim 😱 tried my other lines with no joy so around 130 now and I was proper struggling so tried the tip again poured a brew and bang tips gone round nice skimmer around the pound mark again lovely straight back out and just got rod on the rest and it was twitching again boom another lovely lil skimmer bob to my right was well ahead and getting consistent bites while Jamie was struggling so I carried on on the tip for a while but couldn’t get a bite so stuck on my gb mag line but couldn’t get a bite anywhere then out of knowhere float buried and elastic being stretched to the limit ‘‘twas a carp around the 10 pound mark hooked bang on clean under the pectoral fin 😂 I did get it in the end unfortunately carps don’t count in this league never mind with not much time left straight back out and I’ve had another skimmer which looked a good two pound only for it to come off at the net 🤬 some choice words came out of my mouth so undeterred I cad potted some gb and mags in and chucked the tip out it went round on the drop only for it to fall off 😭😭then nothing last few mins back on the mag line had a tiny skimmer and that was it 🤞🤞Jamie packed up early and tipped back a pound bargain so I wasn’t gonna be last in section bob looked to have walked the section so chucked the gear in the van and back to the weigh in bob put 11+ lb on the scales I put 5.14 on Jamie park house dnw and said he was gonna take up golf 😂😂 and me and bob gave him a load 😂 but he took it well👍 then the weights diminished down the section giving me 2nd in section quite happy with that from there really had to give bob a well deserved pound so I followed the weigh in to see how my other side bets had faired on arrival round the other side I was greeted by my old pal mark Thorne who asked what did u have I said 5.14 his reply was I got more than that. So we preceded to his weigh and mr clapp declares mark with 5.10 😂😂 so I then gave him a load 😂😂 don’t count your chickens pal xxx onto jonny page he was tearing his hair out with 1 pound odd and had to give me diver 😁😁 things were looking up had a nugget off matt Thomas and Wayne staples then Shane must of been black told me he had 11 pound so I told him must of been solid bet u could of walked across it😜😜 and give him a well earned nugget. So a good day was had and happy with 2nd from there best bait was double mag over tom thick gb mixed with a secret!!!! Fished a drennan as7 1g float to 0.11 mainline 0.10 bottom yellow hydro well done bob for the section rich Cole won the lake with 13 pound and Jon fuidge won brick with 29 pound 👍👍 roll on the next one hopefully weather will be kind.
