VAC Match 8 - September 16th 2018 - Newland Hall

17/9/2018

 
Back to Moat Lake at Newland Hall Fishery for the 8th match of our season.

I drew well this time with peg 23 being last in the bag for me, this was the winning peg on our last visit.

​I fed two 5m lines, one with corn and the other with 4 and 6mm pellets.
As usual it was a steady start with a few small carp at 5m on corn and a few on hard pellets. I then gave the method feeder a go to the island and had a few slightly bigger carp from this.

2 hours into the match I saw carp had arrived over the groundbait I had fed down the edge so I then concentrated on this as the bigger carp tend to come from the edge. I had a good 2 hours on this catching on bunches of dead red maggots but then it went very difficult with lots of small roach arriving and not so many carp seemed to be visiting so a slow last part of the match for me.

​I knew Stan on peg 22 had caught more than me so 2nd would be the best I could do and that was the result with my 137lb 3oz just beating Dave into 3rd by 11lb.

VAC Match 7 - September 2nd 2018 - Albans Lakes

5/9/2018

 
For our 7th match we visited the Match Lake at Albans Lakes.

The water level is well down at the moment so we would be putting our boxes on the lake bed below platform level, the "in form" areas to draw were either an end peg or peg 12/13. I drew peg 20 which looked OK with a long feeder chuck to the now exposed island.

I set up a 13' feeder for the long chuck with a method feeder and a shorter feeder rod for fishing over loose fed pellets at around 30 metres, this was also somewhere to try the pellet waggler.

It was a very slow first few hours for most including me, 1 Bream and 2 small carp on the feeder. With about an hour and a half to go I managed 2 carp on the waggler but then no more bites on this. I switched to feeder over the waggler line for the last hour but only managed 1 more carp.

My 5 Carp and a small Bream went 22lb 4oz which was 11th of the 20 fishing.
