The temps have dropped abit and are set to drop a few degrees more as the weekend nears,so just go steady with the feed.
I fished the open on the new pools yesterday and on certain pool and areas of the pool fished quite hard.
The winner had a fish a chuck (F1's) for 5 hrs for a total weight of 120lbs.
Made up of 80lb of F1's caught 13m, on the deck and up in the water alternating between meat and corn.
To had to his total weight, he also had 40lb of mirrors down he edge.
The sun was on his end of the pool when he got to his peg and the were plenty of fish there.
He said he caught well shallow while the sun was out, when the sun when into the cloud cover, he when on the deck and carried on catching.
He was up and down in the water most of the match.
There were a few 80lb's plus 70's and 60lbs/50's, people who struggled were on pegs that were either not noted pegs/avoid of fish, or out of the warmth of the sun .
Just like mine, I weighed in 34lb.

lol.

this is (nearly) waht I got from Jeff;
Sixteen anglers were on Edwards pool as you can see it was pegged a mix of every other peg and two and a one.It fished very well considering that a lot of the fish are small.you are fishing for small carp 6 oz to 1 -1/2lb there are bigger ones up to 3lb,skimmers and bream up to 3lb,barbel up to 3lb,there are also loads of crucians 2oz apiece ,no one knows where they have come from. Baits at the minute are ******** ****** groundbait and *****,*mm expander on the hook.Kieron Rich won on sat,balled it with ****** pellet and fished ****** over the top,11m and *m.
Having said that, i would personally fish it a bit steadier than that,probably putting *** balls of ****** pellet with a few ****** in(********* size)on 11m and *m and start on hair rigged **** on the lead well past your **m line.There is a bit of difference in depth and i will try to find out tomorrow.
hope this helps for now.
regards , Jeff.
