Trinity Woodlands 23.10.22

 This weeks sheet at Trinity Woodlands no blog as I didn’t do this one, I had a day to myself yesterday at the same venue but a different lake - Middle Marsh. Yammy sent me the sheet. & said he lost to many to count a frustration of a day with him commenting he  could of chucked his gear in… 

I’m off to White Acres Saturday so I won’t be around for two weeks it'll be the sheet only

but if anyone wants to do a write up cool 😎 send it to me & I’ll put it up 

Sedges 16.10.22

 Sedges 16th Brick

I  was looking forward to this one but had a shadow of a doubt in the back of my head as I fished Woodlands a few days before with Tich Williams & boy we struggled well maybe me a bit more than him, we both caught but it didn’t really come good til the last 1.5 hrs. 

Anyway I met the boys in the cafe Matrix Stan & Locko Guru had over slept no cafe treat for him 🤣

It’s a special one today two celebrations Locko’s & Guru Birthday happy birthday guys 🎂🎂🎂 XX 

Guru had his new pole absolutely lovely it’s a nice bit of kit the Air Z & it looked it 😁

On to the draw & I drew 11 Flyer I was chuffed mind set locked 🔒 IN CARP out & out for company I had Yammy 😁& Simon Gardener so a nice day to be had well it would have been if I had a bite Wow I had two bites all day. 😳

I chucked the tip up through the margin & to the corner of the rope I had no signs on this I stuck at it on & off all day,

I done a short line & a short margin line in the stumps & to the tree nothing apart from a roach & a blade to the tree obviously I had no carp in my peg I couldn’t believe it I’ve never had this peg infact I’ve never had a corner peg 😳

The lake looked like it was struggling nothing was really happening I could see John W on 12 he wasn’t rocking the world but he’s had a few 

At the end Locky said to me they weren’t there Shag easy as that & I’d agree. The only thing I could of changed is - done a silvers line but why would you on a carp peg never mind on to the next.

I am looking at a different style blog where I will film from home rather than the write up so if you see a couple of testers you know what it is 👍 let’s move with the times 👍🎣

Summerhayes 09.10.22

 Summerhayes Longs 

This week our club hit the above venue with 12 eager competitive Anglers, I quite like it here so all good. 

As I drove in I could see Yammy & quickly followed by John Wolstencroft, he made a dive out of his car telling us he needed fresh air - he’d over indulged with an Indian & my gosh he certainly had the wind 💨 🤣🤣 

Westy done the pegging me & Yammy done the rest, I drew Yammy at the end & he returned the favor back giving me 34 I wanted this area as I’ve never been down this end before. 

I’d done a fair bit of prep on the Saturday - I got out my short F1 tops & put all my rigs on so there ready to go, that’ll save time 😁 14m across was ok until the wind picked up strongly this was my main attack line which was a mare in the wind however I stuck it out for most of the morning I’d also done a down the track line for Silvers - no good a margin line for when ever I thought the Carp were there. 

A day of two half’s the morning I’d had all my fish from across & a bit in the afternoon when I could get on it without getting my pole blown away. The afternoon was spent foul hooking Carp too many to mention a complete mare I don’t get it I done everything I could think of to limit this but nothing was working just another foul hooking day 😳

When I spoke to Yammy he had the same problem & also did Stan & Westy. 

A couple of the guys fishing Sellicks open asked me how I got on they said they’d had the same problem on there so maybe water depths who know but that would explain things. Next week we won’t have any problems with depths as we’re at Sedges & the Kiddy to look out for is my Mucca Locko he’s been smashing it down there on the Silvers winning a festival & a Fry’s match yesterday 😁😁👍👍🎣🎣

See you there not sure how much space is left so give Guru Beardsy a ring to book in 👍

Landsend 02.10.22

 Landsend Lake 2 

So this week we at the above, Locko & Rich Coles have taken this week off to fish the festival at Sedges after a quick catch up last night Locky & Richie had won 🏆 for the second year in a row, well done boys, Legends 😁

So I was the first to arrive with Guru turning up next, the weather was awful P@@@ing it down but set to clear up for 10 o’clock. In the car park I was chatting to John W he was telling me about how he can’t get to grips with hard pellet fishing 🎣 also Ducky was telling Guru how he was gonna do him this week on the Silvers & true to his word he did lol 😂 well I think he done us all, not surprising after he was there yesterday & he knew what to expect - which leads me on to this..

When me & Stan went down to the lake to our surprise it was less than half full, I said not for me I’m going but I didn’t, we only had around 18” of water maybe 2ft at best & I mean best, you’d get a nose bleed sat on the platforms they were that far up. 

So on a more positive note the sun was set to come out & it’ll be a nice day no matter what yeah no matter what 😳

I drew 24, Great - run to that one as any Angler that fishes for Carp would do on its day it’s a Flyer, to my left was Stan & Fletch nice line up really across was Simon Gardner which worked in my favor as I could probably read my peg by his & he’s good Angler to follow. 

So my eggs are in one basket Carp with a Silvers line just in case, Carp lines are easy long down the right margin where the Carp live & a Carp line to the vacant platform next to me. 

I never thought the weather was going to play such a big part in my match ? The sun never really got to me so my peg was in the shade all day, I went out first on the Silvers line as I was waiting for my Carp lines to go I had a Tench then a F1 & another but I made the Cardinal Sin of my Carp Lines god knows why but I concentrated on them all day even tho the Silvers line was producing I don’t know what was in my head apart from a carp peg, I was hooking Carp most of the day but foul hooking due to well I don’t know Simon was struggling & Stan was having a few then I had a run hooking them in the mouth then back to foul hooking again, the air wasn’t blue it was black. Hindsight’s a wonderful thing I should have gone for Silvers it was ok I briefly went on it during the day & probably chucked 8lb back tbf, I was the last to be weighed in, I couldn’t be bothered I chucked back my Carp I was out of it anyway, the weather was my enemy today no sun 🌞 on the water so it was cold 🥶 & so was I. 

On to the next see you at Summer Hayes Longs I believe 🎣🎣
