Phil's day

The Weds club fished its inter club against Abbey Cross on their water at Nazeing. I was hoping for a good peg and was not disappointed when I drew peg 52 - a good peg and its always in the top 5 on match days. I decided to keep it simple and most importantly keep the tackle light for bream and F1s and this worked a treat. I made up the feeder but my money was on the pole I made 2 rigs only and that was all was needed. I cupped in some SwimStim and red maggots with a good helping of micro pellets and in the first hour was beginning to think I got it wrong but then the float went under and then came my first F1 then onto my second then the bream showed up and I soon put 4 of these in the net along with a few roach. The carp showed up for a couple more and a lost carp and I was 11.30 and but then the peg just died on me with the odd roach for the rest of the day. I weighed in with a healthy 24lb in keeping with the peg

Bishop's Stortford won the day with 69 points to Abbey Cross' 66 points

1st Martin Adams with 34lbs 6oz, 2nd John Todd with 33lbs 4oz, 3rd Alan Sims with 25lbs 6oz, 4th Phil Whitmill with 24lbs 5oz and 5th Terry Moranda with 12lbs 12oz. The pic is Jeff Pearson in front of my peg.
