Monday 26th Decemeber - Manor farm

Back to manor farm today for a bit more! 14 people fishing. Drew peg 18 on ash pool and had a nice day catching on the pole at 14.5m. Caught loads of little F1s about 40 in total to weigh 61-0-0 for second overall. Fish were to small!

Saturday 24th December - Manor farm open

Drew peg 27 on island pool.

Started on the bomb and bread and caught early fish buy they backed off.
So I fed a bit of bait on the bomb and came onto my pole line where id been pinging 4mm pellets.
This resulted in 3 quick f1s but the win made it really difficult trying to present my rig.

Then I caught a few on the lead in the next hour and couldn't catch the rest of the match. I virtually had 90% of my weight in the first 2 and a half hours then caught 3 fish second part of the match.

I had 6 carp and 7 f1s  which went 56-0-0 which put me second overall.

Roll on next time!!!

Thursday - 22nd December - Manor farm

Manor farm open - Peg 4 island pool.

This peg is the shallowest on the lake with the deepest part being around 4ft, so I didn't expect to catch on the pole but just set up 1 rig to try it.
Started chucking around on the bread and had my first fish, a tiny F1 2 hours in and with 3 hours gone I had 2 fish so wasn't looking good.

I then had a really good spell catching on the lead where I fed 8mm pellets to my left at around 30m where I could accurately feed them with the wind.

Managed 12 f1s and a mirror carp for 51-0-0 which won my section and put me 4th in the match.

Wednesday 21st December - Manor Farm Leisure open

Manor farm leisure open
I drew peg 33. A good F1 area and thought Id catch on the pole.
The majority of my fish came on the bomb though. Only had 6 fish on the pole which was strange!
I had about 28 fish for 60lb which was 2nd overall.
64lb won so wasnt to far away.
