Phil's day

Hi all I fished the Weds club match at Hall Farm it was our 4th round in the summer league. I drew peg 22, its a. ok peg but you have got to work hard for your fish. I made up 3 lines on the pole; 1 at 8 meters and one each side of the margins. I also made up a pellet wag and a feeder just in case. Fed my pole lines with a bit of dead red maggots and 4&6 mm pellet. Started off on the pellet wag with not much luck, I stuck with this for over 1 1/2 hours with no response so on to my 8 meter line with no luck. So down the margin to my right not even a silvers bite. So after a decent amount of time onto my left margin and had a couple of half bites so persistent pays off and got my first carp about 2lbs. Fished this margin for a good amount of time before it died a death so back to my right side and caught carp but kept loosing them. After about 8 lost fish and a few alterations to the rig I landed a couple then the weather kicked in with a downpour so up with the brolly and off went the fish. I picked off the odd one before the end of the match to weigh in 37lbs 11oz
