Copthorne 05.08.07

Post by Shacky »

Copthorne Carp Canal was our venue for today.....

Image

We all met at the usual place (Butty Bar). Everyone had a natter while they poished of their butties. I thought i had managed to sneak my camera out but was caught by by Chris and Brian. So no sneaky pics.....almost 8)

Image

Which water are we fishing today Carol :?: .....

Image

We made the draw and the raffle for the vino. Then i caught Chris checking out his secret bait.....

Image

The trouble was, it was that secret, the fish didn't know about it either :twisted: :roll:
Now, after i had strapped all my tackle to the trolley. I drew peg 1 a twenty foot walk from my car :roll: .....Being a corner peg i thought i would do ok today....How wrong was i. Kammy was on the peg opposite, but said nowt :?

Image

The match began...Fred was into a Carp straight away.....

Image

Things were looking good :P .............................I waited and waited......Nothing :( ......Out came the camera and had a quick pole-cam shot.....

Image

Things were starting to get silly, i had sat fishless for over two hours. Different tactics were required, so out came the feeder rod. I brushed the cobwebs off, strapped on the reel, cast in and .....sat there. Camera out again :roll: .....

Image

Image

My last resort was to chuck a feeder up the side of the island.....Wallop! soon as it hit the water my rod was nearly pulled out of my hand....and managed this fella.....

Image

Soon followed by a Mirror.....

Image

A quick look round to see how everyone else was doing.....

Image

I managed a few more Carp. These are a couple of the better ones.....

Image

Image

I was snapped off by four carp, such is life. My total weight for the match was 13lb+. The top three weighers had between 47lb to 55lb+ each.
Well Done to those chaps
:D
See You at Highfield :)

There are no trees round the canals :( ...Its a bit of a mare, as you say even in a breeze.
