Ireland results - Carp Vader Competition
Hi Guys and Girls,
Just got back from my week in Ireland.... a very mixed bag to say the least.
For the Carp Vader Competition purposes here are my weights for the week - full report will appear in my blog as soon as I get a chance to type it up..
Day 1 - Drew Trory 14, can be a good peg but on the day the lake was flat calm.... blanked!
Day 2 - First Day of the Classic, drew Boa Island 15 - it had also blanked the day before so I decided to ball it - put in 60 balls and caught 34.940 Kg of mainly roach with several over 2lb!! Third overall out of 255 pegs.
Day 3 - First Day of King of the Erne... drew Derrychara 18, can be a very good bream peg - (should have fished for roach)... had 4.000 Kg
Day 4 - Second day of classic.... Drew Muckross - shouldn't have bothered going but was sitting third in the classic at this point..... blanked!
Day 5 - Second day of King of the Erne... Drew Ely Lodge 18, there were quite a few bream showing on Ely - put 45 balls in in the first hour, next hour caught 8 bream - then it went flat calm like glass and sunny - stopped catching other than odd roach - ended with 22.720 Kg for 2nd overall in 205 pegs.
Day 6 - Last day of classic, drew Cornagrade 7 - there went my chances in the classic!! Was next to Mark Downes... we both scratched around on the pole and I spent 2 hours during the match looking for bream over the balls I put in at the start but never saw one - this cost me framing in the classic and ended up 9th! Weighed 8.320 Kg on the day - Downsy had 6 Kg!
So a very good week and paid for the holiday in pickups!
Total weight - 69.99 Kg = 154 lb
