Sunday 22nd November - Manor Farm open, peg 24 windmill (FLYER!!!) 17 fished.

Well where to start! This is a very good peg but has had no form of late so kept an open mind. There's an island to the right slightly easily reachable with 13-14.5m of pole so this was my main attack but kitted up some open water rigs to.

Started off dobbing bread first 10 minutes without a bite! So went into open water and started catching steadily, leaving my island line with the intention of it being solid late!

Had an instant response after going on the deck in open water but it started to fade after 1 hour 30 so had a look on the island and had 3 stockie F1s in as many put Ins then nothing!

Caught the  bulk of my fish at 13m in open water feeding and fishing pellets. Not sure about the island line??? It just didn't produce and fish were to small! At the all out I had around 27/28 fish for 37-4-0 for 5th in the match and a lake win by default so picked up some money.
 It was a very strange day though, tried to catch a bigger stamp fish but didn't want to give it to much bait and didn't want to get to focused against the island.

Still really enjoyed the day and roll on next weekend!

Another awesome day today!

Saturday 21st November- Ash pool peg 20, 11 fished split over windmill and ash.
With a steep drop in temperature expected it to fish hard! Because the wind was so bad I couldn't fish the pole until 2:00 so fished the bomb and pellet, finally when the wind died at 2:00 I had 8 fish so had a look on the pole now I could present it! I then caught steadily on the pole at 13m on pellets to put a further 8 fish in the net taking me to 16 fish at the all out.
As the scales came round I was last to weigh and had heard Chris telling was winning overall off peg 12 ash with 34-00 so I thought I was somewhere near. I managed to tip the scales round to 45-00 resulting in a match win!

Overall really enjoyed the day with the middle part being a major struggle! Roll on manor again tomorrow!

Sorry! Bit late posting this blog!

Another awesome weekend for myself last weekend.
Saturday 14th November saw me fishing the open at manor farm leisure on boundary pool, I drew peg 32 and fished the pole most of the day and caught all my fish long on pellets to weigh 59-0-0 to win the match.

Sunday 15th November saw me fishing the first round of the winter league pairs on the river avon. I drew peg 35, a good peg which i was happy with, its a chub/waggler peg so with this in mind i only set up 2 rods as the wind was terrible for a nice positive approach! Ended the match with 5 chub and some bleak for 10-7-0 enough to win the match giving me 1 point.
Unfortunetly my partner up the common struggled meaning we're around 4th or 5th overall as it stands but all still to play for!

Roll on next weekend!
