Hi mate,
Fished a fir and feather last year their.The winning weight was about 70+lb,all taken on sweetcorn.He drew on the back wall opposite the corner of the island[a noted winter flier]Sorry i cant remember any peg numbers.My mate was second with approx 40+lb off about peg 3.He used pellet.I was next only 1lb behind second,and i lost a double figure fish through bullying because i was playing it when the whistle blew.I fished pellet over slop.I drew past peg 3 going towards the first corner,incidentially the pegs in the corner went dry.I was about 2 before the corner.The carp average 2lb but go up to double figures.One thing i noticed is they didnt put up much of a fight,so you dont need to fish too heavy.I fished about 10 metres out.I pleasure fished there and caught close in.On the day of the match i couldnt catch close,so fished down the shelf at 10 metres,and followed them down when they backed off.When it went dead i refed slop and pellets and they came back.One bait i didnt bother with was sweetcorn,the winners bait.So it could be worth taking.On the far bank are pigs,so watch your pole if you peg along there.Sorry i couldnt be help more with peg numbers,best of luck,
cornerstone.
