Viaduct cambell psv

Couldn’t wait to get on this match as never fished cambell the times I’ve been to viaduct always been on Cary with a gloomy day ahead and a bit of breeze heading down towards 132 it all looked very good bit of banter with the lads and a few side bets placed really fancied it for a few. Anyway into the draw and I pulled out 129 ??? Someone said good peg on the spit lovely 


Had a lovely edge and a nice chunk of open water plan was bomb and pellet towards pump with pellet wag over top if needed short meat line in front and pellet over pellet with more pellet down the left!!! At the all in I was just about ready and I thought I would try the short line first so cad potted in some meat and sat on it while pinging pellets on my other lines. I was straight into a skimmer just shy of a pound !! Second chuck another. While this was happening bloke on my right was playing a bomb fish so I chucked mine and it’s wrapped round and round and round I probably put 30 pound in net first half hour thought I was gonna empty it still getting regular bites in the second half hour and there were fish shallow out there now so chucked pellet wag and had 1 straight away then nothing so noticed some bubbles on the meat line had a look and was rewarded with a nice plump double then more skimmers. So went down the left with banded 8mm first drop 3 pound skimmers 😬😬😬 what to do??? I think in hindsight I should of just stuck on 1 of my lines but I kept chopping and changing things up which cost me in the end anyway last hour and they were there on the meat line but my lack of viaduct experience caught me out a bit but I learnt a lot today!!! I finished up with 134 pound ish I think 11 pound of silvers so not bad for first attempt that got me 4th overall which would of been section by default but I got 2nd silvers which was more money so should of stuck it out for silvers really as 12 pound won the silvers and I dropped a 3 pound skimmer at the net 😱😱 never mind an enjoyable day and a learner and caught a few had to give chris zsacks a nugget and big Ryan won a double or quits off me them too being 2nd and 3rd 😱😱😬😬😂😂 but all was not lost as took a lovely pound of the one and only Alan Healy cheers des !!!!! Really enjoyed it today awesome fishery can’t wait to get back might hit a few opens down there (pools fodder) Craig Edmunds smashed the open again down there today with 244 pound I think from Cary and catchy bait owner won silvers with 40 odd pound 👍👍👍 thanks for reading this time next week I will be a married man 😁😁😁 hope everyone had a great weekend 👍👍

Glebe golden reel

Well been looking forward to this since I booked on this match just fingers crossed for a good peg. Arrived in plenty of time so had wander round lakes 1 2 and 3 but the first few pegs on lake 1 looked solid with wind blowing in there. Fish crashing out everywhere!!! That would be nice 😃 so into the bag of dreams 86 end peg lake 6 
I hoped this peg would have wind blowing in and it did 😁😁 but ‘‘twas a bit muddy I got me trolley stuck on the way to the peg 😱😱 soon used brute force to get it out!!! 
So plan was gb feeder to far bank in a couple of spots with corn or pellet hook bait then bomb and pellet by the aireator caster shallow 4ft out from the left at top 7 and edge rig 13 m for corn over gb. At the all in I chucked the feeder across and before i sunk the line the northerner on next peg was in to one I thought Christ give me a chance pal 😂😂 any way first hour he put about 10 fish in net and I was struggling 😱😱😱 on 2 lil 2 pounders. Any way I’d been pinging in 8mm at the aireator periodically for an hour and I could now see a few fish moving there so straight in on that and I had a nice few hours putting a fair few fish in the net while next door was struggling.😎😎 I did lose a couple and foul hooking is a real problem there with the rules stating u must have 20 inches from feeder to hook 😱😱 I don’t know why this is and if it’s for fish safety I think it harms the fish as so many foul hookers anyway I’m not a fishery owner so must respect the rules rant over😂😂 meanwhile I’d been pinging casters all day decided to have a look over it but nothing doing on that 😡😡😡 look down edge foul hooked 2 landed 1 then nothing else there !!! Last hour struggled to put much more in the net and had a bit of a mare snapping my bomb rig 😂😂 then tangling feeder rig then the all In was called. In hindsight maybe I should of set wag up but the bites were pretty quick on tip !!!! Never mind I’ve had a lovely day loadsa fish shame they were all small really mostly 2 - 3 pounders but they scrap like trojans and I nearly had the rod pulled in a few times my northern friend was having a chuckle at me saying about my peace pipe😂😂we had a bit of banter when I could understand what he was saying 🤪🤪 onto the weighing which we the first 3 pegs had to do so started down the far end and he had 90 odd pound then there was a 60 and one chap had 44 pound of skimmers then there was 120 ish then me the dnws did catch but didn’t bother weighing as they were only paying sections today!!!

 The winner came from peg1 lake won with massive 270 pound so I herd but shot straight off after match so well done that man !!!!

I am just pleased to catch a few today get my mojo back. After a rubbish silvers series for me and a pour winter roll on some more mud pigs !!!! Thanks for reading hope everyone had a great weekend 🎣🎣🎣🎣

Sedges last rnd silvers

After last weeks woes hoped for a better day today was up bright and early and felt optimistic!!!!

Got to the fishery lil bit of sunshine and cloudy no wind wanted to draw on brick and got my wish peg 15 lovely for company had jonny page who was one of 10 in contention to win the series 

Further up was Jess Jordan we all had some good banter was quite happy with my peg as 16 was empty and I felt confident of a few.
At the all in fed a small helping of micros and expanders at 14.5 m and a small ball gb and mags at 10m chucked the gb feeder out triple maggot missed a bite straight away!!but jess was straight into fish on the pole then jonny page so I followed suit I had a lovely hour on the longline putting 3 proper skimmers in the net one small one and a cruician thought I was gonna empty it then it died really struggled to get a bite on anything rest of the day except carp 😱😱😱😱😱😡😡😡 so usual story at the moment for me I’ve had the worse winter yet fishing !!!! I weighed in 9.14 pagey had 14 then Jess had 24 pound and won the match. Well done. John fuidge won the series overall he’s been on fire lately well done mate. So was there any consolation not really I had a double or quits with matt Thomas for £4 or nothing just scraped that one had to pay nuggets to a few others tho as per usual and managed to get one off Shane Pope . Glad it’s over I’ve had a shocking series I just wanna forget. And if thing couldn’t get any worse I’m writing this from my broke down van on the way home waiting for aa who are saying someone will get me at 735 pm 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😱😱😱😱😱 goin Cyprus Wednesday hopefully come back refreshed and get my head back into my fishing !!!!!
