Viaduct fishery Campbell lake
Campbell lake ..Car park end
So a short trip for me today and the club was on the prolific Campbell lake which is full of fish but the weather has gone a bit cooler this week so it might make it a bit harder .
We had 20 booked into this match but by the time we got to the draw we ended up with 17 which is a great number to have on this lake so we would leave pegs 113 and 117 out as they are set right back just to make it fair .
No Shane today so Tony Fry did the money side of things and Phil (Guru tart) started to collect the xmas match money … So if you want to fish the xmas match please pay Phil (£10) ..
Anyway we would be paying top 2 overall and top 2 in the silvers... Also the golden peg today was peg 118 …So into the tin of dreams and I got my mitts on peg 112 and a peg I have never fished before ..
Looking at the results over the last 2 weeks the carp looked to be holding up in the area of pegs 130/131 so I had a chance if they move over our side ..
I set up a silvers rig,2 deck rig for banded pellet ,a margin rig and 2 tip rods and mixed up some ground bait.. also I had some worms/corn/red maggots and a selection of pellets on my side tray … looking around I could see Phil on peg 110 , tony fry on peg 111..and the 2 BIG guns on pegs 114-115 Danny (Pinocchio baits) and martin (octopussy baits) so this could a hard day also I was told that the best silvers angler in the club had the golden peg 118 !!!!
Looking over I could see that man Eric on peg 131 ..Tony N on peg 128 and Roger up the far side of the lake on peg 123 and was thinking the which one of them would win … …
So to make things interesting me/tony fry and the guru tart had a £1 side bet …
I was waiting for the start of the match and was chatting to a guy on Cary lake when I heard some commotion over the far side … Yes we had Tom Daley over on peg 126 doing what he does best and diving into the lake ..ok it was Kev doing a back flip !!!!! I was thinking shit !! then he popped back up!! with help from john and Graham they pulled him put and Graham sorted out some dry clothes for him ( Thank you) and fair play to Kev he sorted out his gear and got on with it … Top man !!
At the all in I put 3 balls of ground bait on the 13m line and a small cup of 6mm pellets on the top 5 line and had a quick look on the top 5 line and it just sat there .. After 10 minutes I gave up and chucked out the tip rod ..I could see Tony N on peg 128 catching and also Roger (Hovis baits) on peg 123 also catching ..then Eric started to get 1 or 2 … I didn't have a bite on the tip all day !! not even a line bite.
So binned this and went on the silvers line and had 1 or 2 better skimmers so after the first hour it was silvers or bust !! As Tony N had 5 carp ..Roger 6 … and me well ….none !!
So I fished out the 3 balls of ground bait and kept topping up when it went slow ..but this would bring in the carp and cause me and my hook box problems !!!
I could see Martin (octopussy baits) on peg 115 catching (silvers) and that man Danny (Pinocchio baits) also shipping in and out every 30 seconds (silvers) …
After 6 hours Eric with a boat load of carp also roger/Tony N with 3 nets each ...so which one would win ??
Steve started on inform peg 110 with Phil the guru tart and he had 50-9 of carp and 8-4 of silvers for a total of of 58-3 and yes he was winning well until tony beat him again with 63-14 … Then it was me I had 44-5 of accidental carp and 27-13 of silvers for a total of 73-2 and £2 from Phil and tony !!
Next up it was Danny (Pinocchio baits) on peg 114 who had 26-7 of carp and 25-8 of silvers for a total of 51-15 ..Then that man …….Martin (octopussy baits) who was carped out on his silvers line and put on 21-9 of silvers … Mike D was next on peg 116 and he had 52-4 of carp and 10-0 of silvers for a total of 62-4 … Then is was "the best silvers angler in the club" George on peg 118 and boy he didn't disappoint as he had 61-6 of vermin and 39-13 of silvers … And the git also had the golden peg !!!but would he be beaten !!! …
Over to the fair side Roger (Hovis baits) had 138-5 of carp from peg 123...Ross on peg 124 had a dnw… Graham on peg 125 had 56-9 ..Kev on peg 126 had a cold and 17-9!!! John on peg 127 had 18-0 of silvers ..Tony N on peg 128 had 112-7 Then it was Brain (HMRC BAITS) on peg 129 and he put on 48-8 ..Rob on peg 130 had 27-4 of silvers and then Mr carp aka Eric on peg 131 plonked on 163-0 ...and lastly it was D.T on peg 132 who had 28-2 of carp and 22-5 of silvers …….
So back to the car park and Tony did the results and yes that man George (best silvers angler in the club) had only gone and won the golden peg !!!Fair play to him ..there was £2666 in the pot today and he said he will buy breakfast for all that wants one next week at landsend fishery... Nice one George !!!!
Top man George with his bumper pay day !!! Free breakfast next week !!!
So the winners today :
1st overall Eric peg 131 163-0

1st silvers George (best silvers angler in the club and today he was) peg 118 39-13
