The Fish South Silvers Final was on Saturday at a cold and windy Southend Farm. I had a decent day\u2019s fishing on peg 12 (permanent peg 13) to put 40lb 1oz on the scales. That was enough for 4th overall and a nice \u00a31,800 cheque. Really happy with that. Felt I fished a half decent match and was the best weight up my end of the lake. Some great anglers in my section, including Will Raison next door who won it last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caught skimmers of all sizes on pellets plus a few fish down the side on casters and groundbait. Used 0.5g and 0.75g Matrix Finesse Slims in open water, 6-8 Slik and size 16 Matrix X2 hooks. Groundbait was the ever-faithful Sonubaits F1 and Thatchers combo. My sublime XTR 700 pole once again worked its magic, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well done Andrew Crocker winning from an unfenced area, John Harvey 2nd a couple of anglers to his left and Callum Dicks 3rd from fancied peg 1. I think everybody wanted pegs 1 to 7 in the morning, so it was great to see good weights from all around the lake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Must also say a big thanks to Jon Cook for running such a prestigious event, all the sponsors and Southend Farm for being a really great venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One more silvers match to go, then looking forward to a bit of carp and F1 fishing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
