Phils' day

Morning to you all, the Weds club held it 4th leg in the Summer League. The day weather wise was dry and a bit chilly so a fleece was needed. We were at our club lake at Beggers Hall and I drew peg 17 a very good peg so thought I would be in with a chance. I baited up just 2 lines on my pole: 1 at 10 meters; and 1 margin swim then the feeder to the island. The feeder turned out to be non-productive so concentrated on my two pole lines. I had just the odd rudd and roach on my 10 meter line so went down the margin and started picking up the odd perch and roach but little else. By this time it's nearly 2 pm and only a pound or so in the net but I need not have worried as the big carp turned up and put 70 lbs in the net by knocking off time. I weighed in 71lbs 11oz and 3rd over all.

The match was split into 2 secs to make it a lot more fair for the low bank anglers. High bank was 1st Terry Moranda with 87lbs 9oz and 2nd Peter Green with 80lbs 13oz. Low bank 1st Tony Cruci with 54lbs 3oz and 2nd Bill Beeston with 34lbs 12oz. Pic is my peg 17
