We were at Landsend
today and struggling for numbers. The forecast was for rain and
wind, but we were quite sheltered here, and the rain turned out to be just one
heavy shower, so it was not so bad.
I collected the money,
selected the pegs to be fished, and settled up with Di. Next it was
the draw, and Dick drew for me! giving me peg 17 which was the Golden
Peg, so I was in with a chance.
We then went off to our
positions and set up. I had Tonto to my left and Chef Pete on
my right. There was plenty of movement in the water, I hoped it was
not all carp.
Horny tooted and we
got underway. No ground bait for me, just loose feed at four
sections, corn, caster and maggots, with double maggot on the hook.
It was not long before the first carp was in the net, followed by a good roach,
a perch, and a two and a half pound tench. What
a pleasant change from catching carp and skimmers!!! I also caught a
nice crucian and some lumpy bream. I had a great days
fishing, my total weight being 83lbs 2ozs. which was 21lbs 6ozs of
silvers, and 61lbs 12ozs of carp.
It's
so refreshing to go to a fishery not knowing what species you will
catch. Thanks Mike, I look forward to our next visit.
Stan the Man took
overall from peg five with ll2lbs 5ozs, the lowest weight being 30lbs
6ozs. Full results below.
On Sunday we visit Summerhays Longs, and next Wednesday it's Sedges
plenty of room, so get on the phone please.
Get your bums out there.
