Shiplate Silvers league, Shiplate Farm, Saturday 4th December 2021

Fished this as a stand in, drew peg 10, which I did wonder if it being a bit closed in by the island, would be OK, I might have preferred a peg in the open water. 

Simple set up, a bulk shotted rig and a strung out rig - it seems the days of catching commercial skimmers on heavy and double bulked rigs are gone, the light strung out rigs seem to be the ones that catch most fish now.

I struggled for 90 minutes, my first fish was a roach after 80 minutes, I then had a skimmer at 14.5m and stayed there for the rest of the match catching skimmers around the 2lb mark on dead maggots over GB, lovely days fishing and nice to win on the day.
