A return to Willinghurst today for the open held across Top Lake and New Lake - having had some real disasters on New Lake already this year I was desperate to avoid it so obviously I landed on New Lake peg 2!!! Despite the cold win and ultra-clear water I actually managed 4 bites from carp - the first two ended-up in the net but agonisingly the other two came-off, something that really cost me as only 5 carp won the lake!!! Interestingly three of the bites came from the margin in front of peg 3's platform, something that I still find surprising given the low water temperature, the really clear water and the fact that this line was little more than 18" deep ...
