On the way to a 109lb framing net at Tunnel.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Just fished three very different matches. First up was the On The Flyer silverfish qualifier at the Glebe on Lake 1. It\u2019s fished completely different to how I expected. I drew peg 14 and assumed I\u2019d be plagued with carp and getting the odd big skimmer. Turned out to be a fish race with a peg full of tiny skimmers and no carp! Had a blazing first half but got the last half wrong. The average size dropped but I ploughed on regardless, which was wrong in hindsight. I was 4th with 44lb but a fair way adrift of Andy May who qualified with 60lb from peg 8. Still a great day\u2019s fishing and never seen all those little skimmers in Lake 1 before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday was the AT Silverfish qualifier at Makins on Lake 2 and Lake 4. I was really happy to be on peg 7 on Lake 4, which is bang in the middle of what\u2019s \u2018usually\u2019 a very good area for bream and skimmers. Well it took three hours to get a skimmer and I didn\u2019t add too many more after that! I did have 14 non-counting F1s though and the last hour was mostly carp. Can\u2019t understand why the skimmers never fed? Our lake was won by Josh on end peg 3 with a 19lb mixed bag and Paul Sanderson won Lake 2 from B19 with 29lb. Well done those two, but it\u2019s certainly fished a bit strange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfect groundbait and elastic for October.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Had a nice coaching session with a couple of lads on Canal Pool at Tunnel Barn on Friday, which whetted my appetite to book on the Sunday open. It\u2019s fished really well and my 109lb off Jennys 19 was enough for 3rd overall behind Paul Holland\u2019s 124lb off peg 6 and Carl Hopp\u2019s 157lb off House 8. Nice weights for October. A film from this match will be in my Channel Members<\/a> area very soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather\u2019s on the turn but the fish are still having a bit of a chew. All three matches I\u2019ve used Sonubaits F1 Original and Supercrush Green groundbait and 8-10 Slik elastic has been getting the most action in the top kits lately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
