Our 2nd club outing of the season and the only one I wasn't particularly looking forward to because it involves a couple of steep hills with the gear and it tends to be very peggy, also it never fishes as well as people expect, the latter being mainly because we fish our matches earlier in the day than the open matches.
We had pegs 20-36 and I drew peg 34, I started with a kinder cup of cubed meat and meat on the hook at 5m, no bites, AllanB was opposite and I noticed him get a couple shallow on the long pole so I picked up my mugging rig, I shipped out to 12m and swung the 3m rig out past the pole tip in front of a carp I spotted and in a flash it was on, after that one I couldn't see any more cruising so I started feeding meat with the catty and picked up another 5 carp in 5 puts in and around the fed area then it went iffy, a couple of lost foul hookers then nothing. I then tried the left margin up to some rushes but it was slow going, another look at 5m but no signs there, at this stage I fed several full cups of groundbait to my right margin and a couple of cup fulls of dead maggots. To let the new feed settle I tried my other 3 areas for a while with not much luck, then impaled several dead maggots on the right margin rig to have a try there, I caught a few F1s and some carp here but it was slow going.
I ended up with 15 carp, a couple of perch, 3 F1s and a fantail for 64lb 13oz which was only 9th of the 15 that fished.
The top 5 all came from the pegs in the 20s.
