Bit of a shorter write-up this time as it takes a bit of catching-up after a White Acres festival – plus I fished badly and didn’t really catch much, things that don’t normally make for very interesting reading!!!
My draw today saw me on peg 27 on John's Lake at Willinghurst – I nice looking pitch and an end peg on the day to boot! I set-up three rigs to start with: a margin line in front of peg 28's platform at top kit plus 4 with black Hydro, 0.17 main line, a 0.3g V6 and a 15cm 0.13 hooklength into an LWG (eyed) size 16; a 5m line at top kit plus 4 to the left (5m as peg 28 would've fished it) with white Hydro, 0.17 main line, a 4x14 Roob and a 15cm 0.13 hooklength into an LWG (eyed) size 16; and finally a line at 14.5m on the deck with hard pellets (white Hydro, 0.17, 4x14 Roob, 0.13, LWG (eyed) 16 with a hair-rigged pellet band).
To cut a very long and boring story short I essentially caught a nice 8lb carp on the deck at 14.5m in the first hour, had nothing for two hours, caught another carp in the fourth hour on the long pole shallow, had nothing for ages then caught 3 carp down the edge in the last 20 minutes! 24-10-0. Enough said!!!
Until next time …
