I haven’t been to Solhampton since the May Festival, which
for me was a disaster, so was keen to catch some fish. We were on Valley tonight and there was a
club match on it. So looking around the
lake, Valley was fishing hard with little action. I helped Burgess with weigh in, and the top
end of the lake was difficult and 98lb and a few 60lb’s few down the bottom of
the lake where the wind was blowing into.
So I hoped to be down the bottom of the lake,
nope peg 10 and so kitted up three margin rigs and three rigs at 4 and 5
meters. That was it. Evening match was going to fish pellets, corn
and worms down the edge if things proved to be difficult. My worm mix included fishery micro pellet,
chopped corn and of course worms, but the worms were big chunks and not minced.
Got off to a flying start at 4 meters in three foot of
water, the first hour saw me catch between 55lb and 60lb whereas the rest of
match saw me struggle a little and caught fish in spells. At 7.30pm I had six small carp in six casts
and again gone...... strange night. Was surprised that I had over 100lb and felt
that I had maximum of 90lb. So was
pleased with the result, but disappointed to get beaten by Karl “top bagger”
Stephens by 3lb. Only wanted one more
fish!
