Viaduct fishery 1/7/2018 & Shiplate farm 8/7/2018

 

viaduct fishery Campbell lake

 

 

firstly I would like to apologies for the late blog I have been busy watching the football and also the sun has just wiped me out each day at work so to knackered to do it ..

 

We had 17 booked into this match and with Campbell being our lake today I was sure it would be a great match as there are loads of carp and silvers ..

 

Today we had Dave Allen fishing and it was great to see him back and trust me he is no mug !!!  Having a walk round before the match there were carp all over the place but the car park end looked solid (110,111,131,132) so a draw there would be great and if I didn't get one of those pegs I would like peg 127,126 for the silvers or peg 119 for both !!!!

 

No Shane today so Tony fry (silver fox) was sorting out the money side of things with his side kick "The Guru tart" who had his new pole today "yes his 3rd pole in 2 years" … and he was telling us all that it was the dog bollocks but he said this about the last one (Preston m90) only for him to snap it on Campbell lake !!!!

 

The golden peg was pulled out and it was peg 112 …

 

Into the tub of dreams and I pulled out peg 123 and I was happy as I had a bit of room, looking around the lake I could see Dave Allen on peg 126 and that ever consistent silvers man Danny (Pinocchio baits) on peg 127 so silvers would be out of the question for me ….and every one else !!!

 

I had Eric next door on peg 124 and looking over I could see  Brian (HMRC bait) on peg 119 and Shaun ( willy Wonka)  on peg 118  …

looking from my peg (123)

 



Rodger (Hovis baits) was on peg 132 and I was thinking to myself "The writing was on the wall for us all" !!!

 

I set up tip rod to fish the pallet (122) and 3 pole rigs ..a slapping /mug rig ,deck rig ,margin rig...

 

Anyway at the start the first hour was ok for me and I had a few carp and looking around the only other person I could see was my mate Eric next door ..I hate to say this but he is very hard to beat on this venue and he just makes the tip work for him ..he is very good at it !!! git!

 

I could see pegs 127 and 126 having a great battle on the silvers and after 6 hours  Danny (Pinocchio baits)  had a fantastic net of silvers …

 

So after 6 hours of cooking in the sun Steve started the scales on peg 110 with Paul (Paxo baits) who had a great net of silvers for 32-4 then Rob on peg 111 also had good day and put on 29-15 onto the scale ..john on golden peg 112 had 14-9  then it was Kev on peg 114 who had 46-7 of carp Tony n chucked back what he had on peg 115 ...onto peg 116 "DRUM ROLL PLEASE" who had Bolton George (best silvers angler in the club) his word not mine !!!and he had 26-8 !!! Shaun (willy Wonka) was next on peg 118 and he had a total of 59-13 (and winning the pound side bet with the guru tart...again!!) And lastly on that bank it was Brian (HMRC baits) who had a total 60-2 ..

 

Over onto the far side and I had 143-0 on peg 123 Eric next door on peg 124 had a great net for 162-15 ..Git....next was Dave Allen on peg 126 who had a great net of silvers and put 36-7 ,,then Danny (Pinocchio baits) on peg 127 plonked on a fantastic 54-12 of prime silvers (well done the man) ,,,next the guru tart had 52-4 and didn't snap his new pole !!!! next was tony fry (silver fox) on peg 129  who had 64-5 and also beating the guru tart ….again...lord c was next on peg 131 and he also chucked back ...D.T on peg 131 had a total of 39-7 and then the last person to weigh in on peg 132 was Rodger (Hovis baits) who had a monster net and put on 194-3 to win the match and just missing out on the double ton (well done mate)…

 onto this weeks match at another great venue "Shiplate farm" 8/7/2018

 

 

We had 15 booked into this match and would be using hawthorns lake  ..and with every peg in I would have liked peg 1 or 15 but any peg from 10 up...today was going to be hot and I wasn't looking forward to be sitting out in the baking sun all day ….had a chat with Steve and Carol and stocked up with a few cold cans, paid my pools to Shane and then took the mick out of the guru tart ..

into the bucket of dream and I get peg 4 !!! so I set myself up for a carp only today , a rig to fish over a slap/mug rig and a tip rod... also a paste rig (never used)  on the bait tray I had 8mm meat, and 4mm and 6mm pellets and some ground bait (never used)

 

my peg today !!!

 

 

Anyway  I had Stan next door on peg 5 and Shane on peg 3 (also the golden peg)  so a bit of banter today ..at the all in I was sweating like a mad man ….I started on the long pole rig with meat and had a few bite then after 10 minutes I lost my first foul hooker then I had my first one in the mouth after 30 minutes ..then I started to put a few together it was slow but it sounded like the lake was fishing hard ..I had a go on the mug rig but no bites so  onto the slap rig again no bites ..the carp had just switch off today and with it being so hot I could see why … we had a few who packed up early  and I couldn't wait for  the "all out"..

 

 

We started the scales on peg 15 with Danny (Pinocchio baits) who had 8-11 of silvers and some carp for 34-1 Paul (Paxo baits) chucked back on peg 14 rob on 13 had 6-5 of silvers and 32-10 of carp for a total of 38-15 Colin on peg 12 also chucked back D.T on 11 had 33-12 then it was onto the big gun "LORD C" on peg 10 who has a great net of carp in the last few hours and had a total of 86-1 then it was the guru tart on peg 9 who had DNW but looked good !!! tony next door on peg 8 had 14-2 of silvers then George (best silvers angler in the club) on peg 7 who had 5-1 of silvers and 11-14 of carp for a total of 16-15...………….next up it was Rodger (Hovis baits) who had 21-6 ..Stan on peg 5 had 49-9 I had 72-15 on peg 4 and then Shane on peg 3 had 15-15 ..and the last 2 pegs packed up early and I couldn't blame them as all I wanted to do  was get my air con on in my car ...it was hot!!! ..
