Phil's day

Hi all, I did the Weds match at Hall Farm club lake. I had my doubts that it was going to fish as we had a lot of heavy rain overnight. I drew peg 4 which is a reasonable peg and with a bonus added it was every other peg in so empty pegs either side. I made up 3 pole rigs and a feeder the pole lines was at 10 meters and both margins this where I would do my best from. Cupped in some pellet and mags and fished on the hook soft pellet. Not had a bite so onto maggots started getting perch and rudd but little else. Then the sky's opened up with a massive hail and rain storm so put the pole down and did a small cast with the feeder. The rod went round and got a carp of about 2lbs. After an hour the storm passed over and back on the pole but still only small silvers - ended my day with 6lbs 15oz for 7th place.

1st was Jeff Pearson with 27lbs 12oz, 2nd Terry Moranda with 20lbs 9oz, 3rd Ray Gibson with 18lbs 4oz and 4th Tony Cruci with 15lbs 14oz. No pictures today.
