On Saturday was round nine of the Tunnel Barn Winter League. We had a nice looking draw and I was happy to be on Extension 25 as it\u2019s normally a good area and I draw there a lot! Well I came away scratching my head as I struggled all day, only getting bites in the deep water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This peg has a big long reedbed with a perfect depth against it yet I never had a bite over there. Weird old day with very few signs. I ended up with 29lb which was poor on the lake. Thankfully the rest of the team did ok with Jack Danby putting in a captain\u2019s innings with a section win from Canal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surprisingly, Top Pool stole the show with most of the frame coming off that lake. Our Team Dynamite quartet\u2019s still on top with one more round to go\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday I journeyed east to Decoy Lakes with a great turnout with everyone practising for the Winter League Final. I wasn\u2019t at all surprised to draw peg 5 on Willow as I draw that area at least once every year. Normally it\u2019s just a day\u2019s fishing peg, but I was told the area had been throwing up a few fish recently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the clearest I\u2019ve ever seen the lake. You could see the bottom a metre out. You could also see carp swimming around! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well I\u2019ve had a lovely day catching a dozen carp, eight F1s and six skimmers for 113lb for a section envelope and 2nd on the lake behind Kristian Jones\u2019 145lb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you\u2019d expect in winter there\u2019s been a few barren areas but overall the venue\u2019s fished exceptional. Two anglers have had over 200lb from Six Islands! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highlight today was seeing a deer foraging on the island opposite, then hearing it bolt over the bridge faster than you could shout venison burgers! Think it gave peg 1 and 35 a shock! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other highlight was fishing in the Fens with no wind. Never ever thought that was possible!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
