Phil's day

Hi all, the Weds club fished its club match at Hall Farm big lake. I drew peg 20 - this peg can blow hot and cold so not too sure what to expect. I made up 2 pole lines: 7 meters in front of me; and a margin line and this is where I pinned my hopes on; and a feeder for further out. I cupped out pellet and corn on both lines, while the feed was working on my pole lines I picked a mark for the feeder, hook bait was a banded pellet and tipped with 1 red maggot. After half an hour the tip went round for my first carp of about 3lb I never got another bite on the feeder so onto my pole lines. No bites on the long line so down the margin by 12.30pm and got a carp on which took some playing in as it was about 10lb. I carried on for the rest of the match in the margin searching up and down finding the odd spots where they were and this was quite productive and I ended up weighing in 72lbs 13oz

1st on high bank was John Carter with 92lbs 7oz, 2nd high bank was Tony Cruci with 76lb 9oz, 1st low bank Peter Green 86lbs 1oz and 2nd low bank was Ray Gibson with 51lbs 12oz. Thanks to Rob for his help during the weighing in. Pic is my peg 20.
