Phil's day

Hi to all, the Weds club fished its club match at Hall Farm and the weather, although windy, was dry at last. I drew peg 24, a good peg, so had confidence in catching a few fish. I made a feeder for 20 meters and two lines for the pole - one at 7 secs of pole and in the margins. I fed pellet and corn at 7 secs and red maggots in the margins and started off on the feeder. I had my first carp about 30 mins later for about a pound and carried on with this for another 2 hours and got a second carp but it was obvious they were not having it so onto my pole lines Started off on my 7 secs line and had very small roach and perch so down on the margin lines. I carried on with this for a couple of hours before I got a carp - it was a better size so continued till the end of the match for 2 more carp to weigh in 14lbs 2oz

1st Gary Pickard with 45lbs 10oz, 2nd Tony Parker with 25lbs 13oz, 3rd Jeff Pearson with 19lbs 0oz and 4th Peter Green with 14lbs 10oz, well done to all.

Today's photo has those on the other bank heading to their pegs for the day.
