A couple of lake 2nds again this weekend. Saturday back on the teams-of-four at Tunnel Barn. Thankfully no ice this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I drew a nice peg 13 on Top and hoped to have a days dobbing, but it was a bit too windy for that. Still managed three carp and three F1s on it and was fun hoisting them out the weeds! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Had a few F1s fishing long towards the pot and a nice end down the edge on maggot over Sonubaits Supercrush Green and Expander. Used 2m Short Kits again with red 10-12 and green 8-10 Slik being ideal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weighed 53lb with Aidan Mansfield winning the lake with 57lb from 30A. Teamwise we had three good results out of four and are still in the hunt in a very close league. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday was the Packington Winter League and I was all prepped for a tough day on Molands with plenty of food and drink and a prayer mat! I really fancied peg 60, but ended up next door on 58, so not too bad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was hoping 60 hadn\u2019t been drawn, but Roy Beasley eventually turned up very late to dash my hopes. He\u2019s fished a great match, catching some big carp and F1s, all on the lead, for a match-winning 66lb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve still had a decent day, catching three carp, six F1s and a bream for 45lb. One on the lead and the rest on the maggot feeder. Used a 10ft Horizon Commercial Bomb, 6lb XD Mono and a little 15g Matrix Inline Maggot Feeder with a Swivel Stem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nice to catch a few fish on what\u2019s been a tough and extra clear lake this winter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
