Phil's day

Hi to all, the Weds club fished the last of our winter league matches at Hall Farm club lake. I drew peg 25 in itself a decent peg on the day but the fish have not always showed on the decent pegs this year. I was running 3rd in the points total being only 3 points behind the joint leaders so need to come in the top 4 and the leaders to do not so well. I made up 2 pole lines and a cage feeder for further out - cupped out pellet and red maggots on my margin line and corn and micro pellet at 8 meters. I started off on feeder at about 35 meters with double reds and soft pellet in the feeder . An hour later had my first carp for about 4lbs and stayed on this line for another hour but nothing so onto the pole lines. Still couldn't get a bite so back to the feeder. This produced a carp almost instantly and I stayed with this for the rest of the day for 2 more carp for a total of 13lbs 4oz that put me in a good position for the final winter league tally.

Results are 1st Tony Cruci with 27lbs 3oz, 2nd Ray Gibson with 18lbs 14oz, 3rd Phil Whitmill with 13lbs 4oz and 4th place Terry Moranda with 5lbs 6oz - well done to all. No photos today
