Phil's day

Hi all, the Weds club fished its match of 2022 at Beggars Hall club lake. There were 12 anglers so some not so good pegs went in the draw bag. I drew peg 20, it's been a good peg recently and has produced 20 to 30 lbs in matches. I had two lines: pole line at 11 meters; and feeder line at 20 meters. Started off cupping in a bit of pellet with some red maggots and a golf ball size of groundbait. On the feeder rod I used a very small cage feeder with double red maggot on the hook. I spent the first hour on the feeder with no indications. I then tried the pole and by the second hour I got a nice bream of 4 to 5 lbs so carried on with the pole but nothing so onto the feeder again. I fished this for another hour or so then, out of the blue, I had a take. It was a carp of 7lbs and that was the finish of my day as I didn't get another bite. I weighed in 12lbs 12oz.

First and golden peg winner was Barry Cornel with 30lbs 5oz, 2nd Peter Green with 25lbs 15oz, 3rd Tony Cruci with 19lbs 1oz and 4th Stephen Foster with 15lbs 15oz well done to all. Cover pic from a distance is Dave Fuller who had one bream from peg 19.
