Acorn Open, Saturday 30th October 2021

 Last of the summer opens and the optional series today.  I was looking OK for a third place in the optional series and last in the money, first and third already taken

Disappointing turnout again, this is a great fishery and there aren't any openings for Sunday opens on here.  10 fishing so a bit of space, I drew 38, which was next to Gareth Boycott on 49, who had second in the series tied up.

Simple set up, rigs for across with pellet and maggot, another for down the shelf and a edge rig.  It was tough going, pellets were a waste of time, so I fished maggots on all lines, but soon realised even that was unlikely to be competing with the pegs further round the lake.  Gareth on 40 was suffering the same fate and Rich on 6 was finding the same thing, so 3 of us on the wrong side.....

I ended up fishing maggots on the bottom of the near shelf to catch tench, skimmers and carp, but not enough of any of them.  Mark Broomsgrove beating me to the last in the money in the series, as I only managed to put 48lb on the scales, pegs 40 and 6 DNW.
