Blazing hot sunshine greeted us all for the inaugural \u00a310,000 Dynamite Baits In The Mix bonanza match at Hayfield Lakes! I pulled out end peg 80 (of course!) on Dannie\u2019s Island and was told I\u2019d got half a chance but was probably the wrong end of the lake. Well there was certainly enough fish down there on the day, as I ended up with 103kg (227lb) for 2nd overall!<\/p>\n

I had four carp on the pellet wag, four small ones down the edge and at least 20 good fish to 15lb on the mugging rigs. My best rig was a 4×10 dibber with a 0.18mm Power Micron hooklength, 16 Matrix Carp Rigger hook and green 16-18 Slik with my trusty MTX4 pole, fished anything from 7m to 16m.<\/p>\n

Just two or three carp off the \u00a310k win. Doh! In the last 30 minutes the big mugging fish got spooked and disappeared, so it nearly could\u2019ve been. However, my fourth keepnet was much fuller than I realised and would\u2019ve gone over the strict 80lb limit and been disqualified had I put one more fish in there, so I was a bit relieved in that respect!<\/p>\n

So, I nearly won the \u00a310k jackpot, but had to make do with \u00a3300 and a \u00a3150 bait voucher for runner up! Well done Paul Wright on the win with 114kg on the opposite bank. We had a good battle but I felt he was always well ahead, so I was a bit surprised to be a lot closer at the weigh in. Maybe next time?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
