An island in the middle of the 20 Peg lake.I was in peg 6 so I was facing the island.My game plan was to fish the feeder to the island for the first hour then switch to the pole.My first bit of bad luck for the day was no umbrella,then the rain arrived and seemed to last quite a while .
The first burst of rain lasted about 45 minutes then I went on the pole fishing castors and wasn't long before I had a nice common carp,then it went dead and the rain came back.I chopped and changed between pole and feeder and thankfully when the rain stopped and it cleared up it was nice.The angler next to me had switched to the pellet waggler and after he'd had 3 carp I realised they were up in the water near the island and I realised why I was getting liners.Wish I'd took mine of which I always do,but not today .
Plenty of liners but nothing else.Till the next time bloggers ................
Eddie left in the picture had a tiny carp and from what I could see nothing was happening for him either.I kept feeding my swim to the left all afternoon but when I tried it was devoid of fish and time was running out.The Match ended and 1st place 31-04 lb and 2nd 31 lb and that was the angler next to me on the waggler.So it was good to be back out ,Apart from I broke my no5 section,a tip section off my tip rod and got squashed in its tube,I also lost the rubber cap that holds my landing net together
Talk about being clumsy ,wasn't meant to be.
