Dave
Hawkins (Dorchester) Fishing standard
tactics for peg 34 the Dorchester backed angler took fish to double
figures for a cracking 187lb and first place. The trick in the winter
is to fish back towards the summer lilly pads to the first marker
buoy from the bank. This is just past the second drop off and holds
a good number of fish both summer and winter. Dave took the majority
of fish on sweetcorn hook baits over 4mm pellets.
Gary
Thorpe (Ton up Baits) - Drawn on the same peg
as yesterday, Peg 14, and with the added bonus of the Golden Peg,
you can forgive the Ton Up backed angler if he fancied his chances
to go one better. But just as the match unfoulded only 24 hours
previously, the smaller fish from this winter hot spot proved to
be his downfall, that if you can call 149lb in November a downfall!
Gary fished at 16m with sweetcorn and pellet hookbaits over potted
pellets.
Elsewhere
- Overall the lake fished very well, again a good hand full of ton
up weights pushed the weekends tally to a round dozen. Again, too
many carp about for anyone to go for the Silver fish but I expect
the silver fish matches to hot up as the weather cools.
As
of now Silver Fish and Carp will be allowed, Silver fish must be
in a third net with no carp. £20 All-In (Golden Peg/Silver
Fish & Carp/ & Pegging Fee).
