This is going to be another brief line or two.....
I drew 32 which ensured plenty of comments about can't moan about that etc etc. Its a corner and it's the 'right' end of the lake. I was fairly optimistic and set up 5 topkits, a shallow rig, a full depth pellet rig, a meat rig for 5m and two margin rigs, one to fish shallow and one to fish the only bit of shelf I could find at 9m along the end bank. The rest of the peg, even tight to the end bank was all within 6" of full depth, not looking good already.
Starting on the meat yielded nothing but a rudd, out to 14m and I had a fish straight away, that took me straight into the undercut end bank and transferred the hook to some dangling roots. Next 3 of hours I had 7 carp, one at full depth 14m, one shallow, one short on meat, one down the edge and three in three put ins at 16 just up the slight slope to the end bank. And that was that, not another bite, fishless for 3 hours, whilst I watched Trigger and Tim Clark on 34 and 31 catching one a bung or in Tim's case, hooking one a bung, not necessarily, landing one a bung.....). The fish were out by the island, in shallow water, no matter what I did, I was unable to entice them into the deeper, open water of my peg.
50lb weighed in, a long, long way behind, I really can't think I did too much wrong, if you don't get a bite for 3 hours, I reckon there aren't many/any fish there.
Here's hoping for better days at Viaduct this Thursday, the Glebe Fri/Sat and back to Viaduct Sunday.
