For our 6th match we visited a new venue for me, Wold Farm.
We were on "The Oaks Lake". A very pretty lake with large lily pads in every swim.
This was my view on peg 5.

Started by feeding a 5m line with pellets then fished in front of me with a top kit, also feeding the edge to my left. Hook bait was corn or pellet.
After 1.5 hours I only had a couple of 2lb Barbel and two skimmers so I went onto the edge and after a short time started catching some carp with a few skimmers in between. I had been loose feeding the 5m line with pellets so tried that a couple of times shallow and managed 2 carp on this but the edge carp were a little bigger so went back to the edge for the rest of the match.
The 4th hour was good, catching fairly quickly then it slowed up and just 1 carp in the last 30 minutes. I ended with 28 carp, 2 barbel and about 14 skimmers..
Total weight was 122lb 13oz which was good for 5th on the match.
