Well if yesterday was a bitter disappointment then today started to even things out - fancy drawing Twin Oaks 16 (one of the best pegs in the country) when the final three pegs left in the bag are 1 (rubbish), 3 (awful) and 16 (a bigger flyer than Easy Jet)!!!

| Twin Oaks 16 - a dream draw! |
All fish today again fell to the pellet feeder - a 30g version this time as it was a reasonable chuck into the bay on the far bank. The best hookbait by far was a 6mm White Acres pellet (which would be more like a conventional 7mm if such a thing existed) and my take-no-prisoners hooklength was made-up of a size 14 Guru QM1 hook mounted on 10cm of 0.22 N-Gauge with a hair-rigged pellet band.

The secret today (apart from drawing like Picasso) was rotating between 3 spots on the far bank and not wasting time in the margins - even though there were lots of swirls and churning-up of the bottom despite not feeding more than a handful of pellets! In the end my 123-15-0 of feeder caught carp was enough to win the section and the lake, nicely ahead of Steven Bee's 97-5-0 from peg 15 to my left.
Top 10 after day 2:
- Harry Billing, 18 points, 166-11-0
- Bradley Hancock, 18 points, 111-13-0
- Danny Edwards, 17 points, 129-15-0
- Jon Cook, 16 points, 154-3-0
- Steve Evans, 16 points, 150-1-0
- Mark Pollard, 16 points, 141-6-0
- Dale Hancock, 16 points, 124-8-0
- Sammy Davies, 16 points, 85-1-0
- Phil Morris, 15 points, 169-3-0
- Kevin Smith, 14 points, 139-6-0
So today's result has seen me move into the top 10 and ninth overall with 15 points, but still well behind Harry Billing and young Bradley Hancock who are topping the table with perfect scores of 18 points each.
Until next time ...
