Phil's day

Morning to all, the Weds Club fished its match at Hall Farm. It was a bit chilly and a little damp but easy to ignore. I drew peg 4 - it's a peg that has not produced large weights for a while but today might be the day. I made up two margin lines and a 10 meter line for the pole and, of course, a feeder rod for distance work. Cupped out a small amount of corn and micro pellets with a golf ball sized ball of groundbait and down the margins maggots and pellets one side and groundbait and 6mm pellets on the other. Started off on my 10 meter line catching good roach and rudd - tried out several hook baits but just silvers. So on to my feeder for absolutely no results. By this time its 12.30, half way through the match with only 3 lbs of silvers, so on to the margins. Pretty much same story there but stayed with it. In the last hour the carp showed up and I put 24lbs of carp in the net to finish with 27lbs 4oz

1st was Terry Moranda with 102lbs 7oz, 2nd John Carter with 72lbs 5oz, 3rd Tony Cruci with 56lbs 4 oz and 4th was Steve Foster with 55lbs 13oz
