Well after the Weston match was swithched to allow Weston to run the Perry Delgrano memorial match we ended up at Old Hough on a new lake for most in Big Max.
It looks spot on to be honest but on closer inspection the pegging doesn't give everyone and island chuck and the margins are clearly rarely fished as its growing like mad but after some careful pegging everyone had an island chuck.
Barry went off like a train compared to the rest of us, nothing spectaclar but he was catching on the pole deep and then shallow......the rest seemed to start on the method tight to the island.....I was impressed with my own casting which is saying something but I felt it was too shallow and kept coming back with blanket weed, clearly the fish were not used to being there and clearing it and a few others had the same. Anyway Barry then chucked the thod about 4m round the corner from Ian Lloyd and catch there asd well....Lloydy was well perplexed. To be fair to Barry he fished a tidy match and caught off all his lines to win with 37.10lb of mainly F1's and small carp.
Yours truely, Ian Simpson was going no were after 3 hours and it was baking hot so trying to force thinks potted in groundbait and managed to snare a few in the last two hours. 3 carp, 3 proper bream and 3 little F1's was hard work but went 28lb for second. Rick had similar early struggles but found them later on shallow with the breeze they had and weighed 25.14lb for 3rd.
Overall a fab looking fishery, just a bit light on stocking maybe at present with too many tiny that are not even maggot worthy. I'd like another go when the weather was better though as it has loadsa potential.
Result
1st - Barry Davies - 37.10lb
2nd - Ian Simpson - 28.00lb
3rd - Rick Keeley - 25.14lb
