27 August 2016, John's Lake (Willinghurst)

Well it was our last visit to Willinghurst for a while today - two non-fishing weekends followed by two weeks at White Acres means we won't be back until October. Luckily things went well and after endless 'one out of the monies' I finally managed to sneak into the frame with a third place from peg 8 on John's Lake.
  
Thanks Tippy!!!
  
    
 
This lake has been fishing really well lately with Luke Sheriff setting a new record with 199lb earlier in the week. My draw saw me on peg 8 a pretty standard pitch with one exception - apparently during the week Paul 'Tippy' Taylor had done some serious gardening, making peg 7's platform nicely accessible with 11.5m of pole. In all fairness peg 7 was solid - I saw loads of fish in front of the platform before the match had even started!!! In the end I managed one small (1lb) carp on the short pole and the rest from peg 7's platform to finish with a nice 130-2-0.
    
Until next time ...
