Yesterdays match was won with 40lb peg53 odd 2nd 36lb peg 19 , 3rd 29lb peg44. Most back ups were 25lb down to 12lb..over 35 fished. Conditions were wind and rain . Winning method was feeder to island . Stamp of fish is generally @6-8oz the 2lbers dont make a big appearance.
The 100lb+ bag that won recently came from corner peg near cafe, the wind was blowing into it and had been for quite a while, the fish were concentrated there and the angler that drew it was good enough to plunder it.
Don't expect big weights all round expect to be busy for at least 1 hour of the match...make the choice go for any fish or wait for a bite from a bigger fish. Any bait will get a bite the challenge you will have is can you hit the bite and work out what's happening down below.....
Brian the skinflints in my squad have only just started to pay up so if it's OK with you I 'll bring the cash on the day, if you want the coin I'll bring £20 in change.
