Really looking forward to this match as Goodiford is one of my favorite venues.
Arrived early and lake looked good and with the promise os nice day weather wise it all looked good.
Draw took place and i drew peg 8 which i bel;ieved to be a reasonable peg but just past the bar which runs through pegs 3-7 which is normally quite a productive area.
Today was going to be a simple day for me bomb and pellet or popped up bread against the Island and a Margin Rig on the pole for late on.
I also set up a Pellet waggler rod but never used it probably a mistake.
The all in was called and i cast about 2 foot from the Island started to sink my line and the tip flew around Happy days and soon a nice 5Lb Carp was in the net.
The next 2 hours were painful as nothing happened for me or Mike on peg 7 where as peg 9 seemed to have found some carp balled up near the corner of the Island and he had landed 10/12 nice Carp peg 10 also had a few and i heard peg 3 was doing ok
I had another carp of around 3lb 2 hours in but that was it so spent the last 30 minutes catching some silvers short & shallow had 3lb in about 15 minutes so wished i had gone on to them earlier and just had a nice day.
The margins didn't produce anything and it seemed the lake fished in small areas with quite a few lads struggling along with me.
Winning weight was 86lb from peg 9.
Still i will keep trying and 1 day maybe I will do better.
