VAC Match 3 - July 8th 2018 - Newland Hall

9/7/2018

 
The first of our annual 2 trips to Newland Hall match lake.

The favoured draw is the low 20's on the far side and perhaps not coincidentally, this is the shaded side of the lake. Well my drawing arm failed me again, I drew peg 30 in the hot sun apart from the first 30 minutes or so.

Nothing really worked well for me today, I started on a method feeder to the reeds on my right but I just got a load of liners and no proper bites.

Tried pellets at 11 metres and caught a couple of very small carp, those would not get me anywhere in the frame unless they had been coming quickly every put in so I tried the 5m line with corn which produced a few carp.

Half way through the match I started feeding my margin with groundbait and dead maggots, I would see the occasional carp tail and I did catch a few carp here but it never really got going. I had thousands of tiny roach in the peg and could not seem to get enough carp in to push them out.

I ended up with a dozen carp and some roach for a total of 34lb 12oz.

As expected, the top two weights came from pegs 22 and 23 who had a close battle for the win.

​Club report and full results can be seen HERE.

I also had an unusual visitor, I think it was a "Smooth Snake" which are apparently quite rare!
