The match Lake (Ash Lake) for this match. I drew peg 24 which is the least favoured area so probably out of the running to win but you never know so gave it my best effort.
I started at 5m with banded pellets and as seems to be usual it was a slow start with just 4 or 5 small carp and a skimmer in the first hour or so. I had been feeding pellets and corn in my edge swim and I could see some tails waving at me from about 30 minutes into the match so I switched my attentions to this spot for the rest of the match.
Fishing corn on the hook and just a topkit down the edge I had a couple of good runs of fish with quiet spells in between and the normal good last hour when they got their heads down for a feed.
I had 43/44 carp and estimated 160lb or so and I was fairly accurate as my total was 173lb 10oz, joint 5th on the day which I considered a good result from that peg.
