Match 5
Here we are bank holiday Weekend, Weather forecast pretty dismal.
Friday night
Andy and I met up 4 a few ales and discussion on tactics for Saturday's Open Match at 5 Ways.
Pick up at 07.30
In Andy's motors saw us stroll into the Café on Attleborough Green for a hearty BREAKFAST, Then Next Door to collect our Bait from the Tackle Shop. On Arrival at 5 Ways Lake Karen was making TEA for the Match men.
16 Anglers went into the draw on the right hand bank.
Andy Polling - Peg 13 (This Peg on the 2 nd island with reeds and rushers as a feature on the far bank)
I Big SAM Polling - Peg 8 (No feature's across but a reed bed on my left hand side) Where I put a tin of Cat Meat in went my normal feed at 11 metres and ground bait and corn at 8 meters,
The angler on Peg 9 went out on the method looking for Carp.
Not sure what the lad on Peg 7 was doing as he was feeding + fishing all over his swim.
Meanwhile looking down the lake Andy was catching steadily.
He's got a guy called Aubrey on Peg 4 giving him earache Aubrey never shuts up!
A conversation at 1' 0'clock with Andy reckoned he got 5lb in the net,
I got 4lb we were doing ok. But Kept plugging away carrying on doing what we were doing.
The open Peg 10 between the islands's had 3 carp very long pole tactics with corn.
So Andy take 2 carp and loose 2 Carp.
At the weigh in
Dean on peg 10 put 15lb 10oz = 7 carp
Andy net of silver fish plus 2carp weighed 11lb 10oz
My own net of skimmers and roach gave 6lb on the scales, (my cat meat swim not producing a thing).
1 st Dean 15lb 13ozs
2 nd Andy 11lb 13ozs
3 rd Big Sam (Me) 6lb 13ozs
League Points with a 2 nd and 3 rd places keeps
Big Sam on 48 points

Sunday morning 5 th May 2007

With Different tactics = very windy !!!!
Bites were hard to come by but a very good breakfast in the 5 Ways Café.
Tommy Coles came up at 12' o' clock and sat beside me on the next peg,
And struggled until late and then 30 Carp on corn worm and cat meat.

Friday 6 th July 07
Late into the Lib on Friday after paying for our fishing trip to East Anglia in September, We'll be based at Hemsby. Bally's Red shirt made it a colourful night spending as much time outside as in.(thanks to no smoking Law).
Saturday 7 th July 07
Andy and I had an early start Saturday morning heading to Coombe Lake for more punishment. After a long trek we settled in peg's 37 and 39. As normal with Bream fishing it was a slow start.
Andy had a few indications of fish feeding but no takes. I latched onto a big bream but lost it in the lily's. We were both fishing long range ground bait feeder tactics, alternating Hook and baits.
With 2 bream in the net it was a struggle. Andy had a 2 in 1. He'd hooked a skimmer which he was bringing through the lilies when it was attacked by a pike (Andy says it was about 2ft). Skilfully Andy played both into his landing net.
Later I had a personal best bream weighing 9lb 4oz.
I returned 6 fish, Andy returned 4 fish back to the lake, Before trekking back to Andy's motor.
Sunday 8 th July 07
Sunday saw us on a club match at the pool on Warwick Race Course. A very narrow path around this watercourse. Chopped worm and caster was our main attack. With Perch and Hybrids the target. Hybrids are cross bred Roach and Bream. A hard fighting fish. Long pole was adopted by most anglers, the margins were not producing at all.
3 big Carp were hooked by match men but, all was lost due to their size breaking hook lengths after bottoming out pole elastics.
Results;
1 st Mark Mallabone 11lb
2 nd Big Sam 8lb 10oz
3 rd Raider Harrison 7lb
4 th Andy 6lb 11oz
