Phil's day

Good morning all, I fished the Weds club match at Beggars Hall. It was a bit chilly but dry. I drew peg 3 not a bad peg - it's one of those pegs that used to be brilliant but has gone downhill for the last year or so. I made up three methods: pellet wag; feeder on tea bag method; the pole at 12 meters in open water and 8 meters to the branches of a willow tree. Cupped in pellet and corn on my pole lines and started off on feeder with banded pellet and a tea bag of the same. Within ten mins had my first and my last carp. Got silvers on the pole line but that's it - weighed in 9lbs 7oz so a decent carp.

1st Peter Green with 59lbs 5oz, 2nd Terry Moranda with 40lbs 6oz, 3rd Gary Pickard with 37lbs 6oz, joint 4th was Jeff Pearson and Tony Parker with 22lbs. Well done to all no blanks. Pic is Dave Fuller who ran the BHF charity match at Hall Farm at the weekend.
