Phil's day

A very good morning to all. The Weds club fished its 5th leg of our summer league on Hall Farm club lake. I drew peg 2 a good peg so hopes of a pick-up. The plan wasn't rocket science two margins and a feeder. I fed the margins with pellet and corn with a few reds in the hopes this wouldn't attract to many rudd - nice to catch but won't win you the match. Cast the feeder out to the weed beds with not much action so put that up the bank and fished the margins. I got my first carp at 10 ish and fished steady for most of the day - I lost too many big fish to do any good but still ended up with a good weight. I caught mostly on sweetcorn and bread but couldn't get a bite on pellet at all. I ended my day with a respectable 73lbs 14 oz no pickup but happy with my weight.

The match was split into two banks high and low banks with 1st and second from each bank. 1st low bank Jeff Pearson with 91lbs 4oz and golden peg, 2nd low bank was Peter Green with 87lbs 13oz, 1st high bank was Fred Hunt with 80lbs 9oz and 2nd high bank was Bill Beeston with 70lbs 13oz.

The pic is Jeff Pearson with part of his highest weight of the lake, thanks go to Rob for his help running the match.
