People seem to think that I am usually quite good at the
draw, but today I was let down severely by my right hand. My day started
slightly late and I then found that a small Dorset town was shut so had to
plumb in an alternative route to the Tom Tom. I finally found my way into the
car park only to find that I must have been one of the last people there, but I
still found time for a breakfast at Woodys and very good it was too.
I managed to draw peg 130 out of the bag and this was
apparently not a good draw, still I had planned on another easy day but this
time concentrating on the tip and waggler but it was not to be as soon after
the whistle I was struggling and my day got worst from there.
I set up 2 wagglers and a bomb rod and hooked carp on all
3, I also set up a margin rig and a short pole line to fish meat but all I
managed here was to get beaten up down the edge and a few skimmers at 5m.
I tipped back 30lb and this still would have put me as
last on the lake, in hindsight I should have worked the waggler for longer and
I think that a paste line at 13m even with the gusting wind would have been a
better idea.
It was won by Rich the match organiser from peg 119 with
around 190lb of carp so well done to you mate, the lake on a whole fished quite
hard but we still had 4 or 5 ton weights and loads of bags around 70-90lb.
