24 June 2018, Top Lake (Willinghurst)

Day two of the Angling for Heroes mini-festival and I've only gone and drawn the same peg again! Having learned some harsh lessons yesterday I was able to fish a much simpler match today, putting 99-6-0 on the scales, just short of the 100lb barrier but comfortably ahead of the 75lb that was second.

Nice bucket
   
This left me on 4 points, just a point and 30lb short of finishing second overall, something I could've managed on day one if I'd had gotten my act together a bit sooner (easily said with hindsight of course). I'll sign-off by saying a massive well done to my partner in crime Claire 'Bagger' Hollis who not only won the first day with a whopping 130lb but smashed the festival by being the only angler to finish with a perfect 2 point score - what a superstar!!!
  
Caption competition time!
   
Until next time ...

23 June 2018, Top Lake (Willinghurst)

Day one of the two-day Angling for Heroes mini-festival, my home for the day being Top Lake peg 8, a pretty average peg in the main bowl. Having not fished for a few weeks, and having not fished for proper carp since the Guru festival at White Acres I was pretty rusty and spent at least half of the match fishing the wrong methods!
  
A nice photo
  
Saying that I somehow managed to put 56-8-0 on the scales, a reasonable return that got me third in section, just 2lb short of second - mildly annoying!!!

02 June 2018, Middle Lake (Gold Valley)

Another great day at Gold Valley yesterday for a WC Group Coaching day with Will Raison and Callum Dicks, this time with a focus on catching F1s shallow on Middle Lake. Without giving too much away lets just say it was a brilliant session with loads learned and loads of fish caught!!!
