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

Which water are we fishing today Carol

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

The trouble was, it was that secret, the fish didn't know about it either :twisted:
Now, after i had strapped all my tackle to the trolley. I drew peg 1 a twenty foot walk from my car



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

Things were looking good :P .............................I waited and waited......Nothing

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


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.....

Soon followed by a Mirror.....

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

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


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
See You at Highfield
