Vince Im not knocking the way it was pegged, or the day, after all it was the same for everyone, its a difficult place to peg for a team event and you had the best man on the job.
But the design of the lake makes for a very peggy venue and not the type of venue I like fishing, I prefere venues where you have half a chance, all venues are peggy just some less than others and they are typically the ones I choose.
Maybe the aeriators being on, kept the fish in the oxygenated water this would also add up with the wind issue those that had it typically caught. but there was an obvious drop in weights the further from the oxygen source you got .
All said and done I enjoyed the day, even the fishing to an extent 38 lb of silvers is not to be sniffed at, and if I could have done it again I would have nicked at least another point as I messed up the first hour or so working it out.
But as I said its not for me, I would go back for team duties and maybe fisho qualifiers but wouldnt go out of my way when there are far better open match venues knocking about, what suits some doesnt suit others I guess in this instance Iam the other.
As for Willow I know it very well and have kept up with the goings on of the place I think you will find the lack of fish there runs deeper than meets the eye.
