VAC Match 13 - Riverside Road - December 10th 2017

12/12/2017

 
 As always for our Christmas Match, we were at our club lake Riverside Road.

It snowed hard in the early hours and did not stop until 11am which prevented some from being able to get to the venue but we still had a turnout of 17.
The lake was almost entirely covered with an inch or two of slushy snow which made it difficult to get a rig in as you had to keep clearing it away so that a rig could be put in the water.

I just cleared as far as I could reach with the landing net with my XRS 3.8m handle on and used a 3m whip feeding a few maggots now and then by hand.

Match times today were 9.30 to 14.30, I missed a bite after 20 minutes and had to wait until just before 12pm for the next indication which produced a nice roach and next chuck a perch, that was it for an hour or so.

Between 1 and 2pm I had another roach and a perch then in the last 30 minutes 4 more perch. All my fish were around the same size except that last perch was a little chunkier.

My 8 fish gave me a weight of 2lb 9oz which gave me 4th in the match. 2 of the 3 better weights were boosted by a bonus perch of over a pound with the biggest fish prize going to 2nd placed Brian with a perch of 1lb 11oz, he also had a nice chub of nearly a pound.
