Phil's day

Good Morning to all, the Weds club fished its club match at Hall Ffarm big lake it was going to be a tough day for most as the fish at the moment don't want to play. The turnout was 13 anglers so managed every other peg to try and make it more room to coax a few fish. I drew peg 16 not a favourite peg of mine but lately I have drawn a lot of not so good pegs. Made up two margin lines and a 7 meter line. I fed corn and pellet on my 7 meter line and maggot and micros to my margins - well that's the exciting bit done with. Managed 4 very small perch and 2 x 3oz roach and nothing else till 15 mins to go and hooked into a decent carp of 11lb 6oz and saved my day.

The lake was split into 2 secs high and low banks. 1st high bank Bill Beeston with 54lbs 8oz, 2nd Fred Hunt with 25lbs 5oz and 3rd John Carter with 23lbs 12oz. Low bank 1st Colin Brister with 11lbs, 2nd Barry Cornel with 9lbs 7oz and 3rd Jeff Pearson with 4lbs 1oz. Pic is my peg - with a fish jumping just before the all in.
