Breaking surface v F1 Boys 9-4-22

 So todays match by Breaking surface as a Charity match against the F1 Boys , this will be 2 matches with all proceeds donated to charity .The match today was held at Bradshaw Hall Fishery in Lake 4.With an overnight frost I didn’t know what to expect today .The pegs being used were the roadside pegs and on the causeway.I drew peg 12 .When I arrived at my peg the wind was blowing down my end , I decided to set 2 rods up , one pellet feeder the other bomb and pellet .in the first hour I’d managed 1 F1 and bumped 2 fish off. The wind was cold today with the sun making brief appearances which was nice for a warm .I managed another couple of skimmers ,ide and a bream an another F1.Bites we’re taking a long time hence I was leaving the pellet feeder out longer .at around 1pm I can only say this was going to be the coldest hour of the day , with hail and wind .I decided to change over to the method feeder for the last hour .I managed a nice mirror and 4 more F1,s.At all out I’m was relieved .







The weigh in everyone had caught so it was looking quite close as we moved round the lake .

Final score 

Breaking Surface 144 lb

F1 Boys                 127 lb

Our biggest weight was Batch with 50lb 

I weighed 15 lb 14

A great day out ,till the next time. Hopefully Tench .

Hall Lane Fishery 3-4-22

 Well I’ve not been fishing and today was first match of the season on an invite from crescent angling .We we’re on the besses snake lake pegged from 25-41 .We did the draw and off to my peg .The place is immaculate , lovely grass and bank vegetation all cut back enough to fish the margins .I decided to put in two margin swims and one down the track, also the feeder rod with pellet feeder .Bait wise would be pellets and corn .I spent the first 30 minutes I’m the margins trying to nick a couple of carp to no avail .I went over for a few casts to the far bank and within 30 minutes I had a lump .I rotated between the track and margins fishing corn pit couldn’t buy a bite .When the sun was out it was lovely , when it went in it was chilly .I decided to go back on the feeder for the rest of the match and nicked 4 more lumps , maybe enough to frame but not enough to win .






Match finished and here’s the results .

1st Darren 43lb

2 Kevin 35lb

3 Mike 33lb

4 Me 28 lb -4 

Really enjoyed being out again .

Till the next time , stay safe
