Conway was back on song with an average of over 32lb per man for this weeks winter league with 27lb needed for 6th, thats better than our summer 2008 and 2009 best bar the Glebe!!
Steve Brew drew the point and it looked like a blowout after 2 hours as Steve struggled to catch, but as is often the case with this peg, the carp 'come home' at some point and Steve bagged up shallow at 14m with 6mm pellet for 3 hours and a superb 84.5lb of Carp and F1's. He would have had a 'ton' if he could have weighed the ducks in he hooked! Ian Simpson drew opposite the point and started on the roach at 10m before moving out to 14m and 6mm pellet up and down for a mixed bag with carp, F1's, tench and skimmers in his 58.9lb net.
Mick Flanagan was first past the tree on the left and roached it at 10m and 4m adding a few carp off the top of the island for 45.8lb but must have had 30lb of roach and lots of netters. Jeff Grantham drew opposite Mick next to the 'old boards' and did the reverse started for carp had an odd one, but then roached it falling just short of Mick with 43.2lb again nearly 30lb of roach.
Conway has to be one of the best roach waters in the North West!!
Just a quick mention our coach Rick who had a great day fishing pellet up and down from the boulder peg had 32lb and missed the frame......not often that happens with 30lb+ in the net!!
Craic of the day, Jeff shouts to Mick his partner and our resident leprichaun "feck Mick them roach look big your catchin", quick as a flash Keith 'the bandit' responds with 'they always will look bigger against a dwarf!!".........harsh but true.

ReplyDeleteLee - I drew the peg Dave Norman was on the week before so only one peg away from last week so fished it the same. I wish!! Share 50-50 with Ste B but this week my partner done good for a change, my back was aching carrying him lately!!!
ReplyDeleteI think if youve got an angler on the point thats not feeding right or not fishing it right you can draw them carp from there on the peg you were on.It was just unlucky you had steve on the point as hes a good angler and he knows what hes doing so if youve got that combination your pretty much screwed,you may get a few of the stray carp and f1's but your not going to bag up as you know.Although still an impressive weight mate well done ;)
