Our match on the sunday was also a shocker.I drew a decent peg 29 on the point of the island.Second chuck on the method and a 3lb carp.The far bank had a club match on and i was soon sharing that point with not one but another 3 anglers.Some of the casting was all over the place,and i never had another touch.I caught small roach and skimmers on red maggot over g/bait.That then died and i drip fed chopped worm in a kinder cup to keep a few fish coming.Some regulars turned up who i knew from years ago,and got me to fish up in the water,i never had a bite in half hour so went back on the silvers.Unfortunately it cost me at least second place,second beat me by 2oz.Not to worry,the winner had 10lb[two carp and 2 chub?]Second had 8lb 11oz,i had 8lb 9oz.4th one carp 5lb,and their were another couple who had low weights,and about 6 went dry[including my son on peg 16.I think peg 16 up to 20 all went dry.I had my carp on 2 dead reds,but all the other carp were caught on ledgered cat meat.Not a day to remember but talking to some regulars it seems that most venues had fished crap on the saturday,so it wasnt only the riddings.Smudger what club were you with?because someone told me that an angler i know was on your match,i think he had 2lb+ and wasnt very happy.
