JAMES MAUDE ANGLING CLUB
Saturday July 28th 2007
Fished Bonzai: Pegs 35 - 58.
Weather conditions: Cloudy but dry, wind very strong at times, blowing from the field side across the lake.
So we had 17 Anglers turn out to fish Bonzai, pegged around the 35s to 58s with some spare pegs to be had (bonus for some). THe wind was quite strong at times and the guys in the 50s pegs had a struggle with the poles (sidewind). Considering the lake was booked up two matches on and some pleasure anglers, we had all our guys useing the scales.
Top honour went to the WORM MASTER yes the man himself TERRY, fished at 10Mtrs on Worm on the deck Peg 46, flicking 4mm pellets out little and often, he had them going from the start, fed his margin line but never fished it due to the fact that he was on a fish a chuck, in total he landed around 70 fish mostly carp with a couple of barbel thrown in for good measure. His final weight was 73lb. Me personally well what a day, started out at 11mtrs wind very strong had one carp in the first hour then after feeding my margin swim fish at top 4 on the paste into to carp straight away, after three hours this is when disaster struck. Lost my balance and went forward breaking yet another section of the CRAP MESSIAH i bought
.couple of the lads gave me a dig out, so my day was set for margin fishing, so I needed to get them back in the margins after my spooking session
. took a while but they came in dribs and drabs, All carp caught on the paste weighed in with 35lb so it did not turn out to bad but my pride was dented big time. Thanks again to all who helped. Maver Messiah know sold for spares.
