I had a nice day on Lagoon 25, catching a dozen or so carp, three crackin<span class=\"text_exposed_show\">g little tench and two skimmers, fishing towards the island and down the edge. Few early on pellets, then a couple on corn and the rest on maggots. Only one fish in the last hour though, which was disappointing. Wind blowing the opposite way probably didn&#8217;t help.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/makins-fisho-sheet.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-825 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/makins-fisho-sheet-217x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"217\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/makins-fisho-sheet-217x300.jpg 217w, https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/makins-fisho-sheet.jpg 463w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 217px) 100vw, 217px\" \/><\/a>My 75lb 1oz was enough to win the lake, come 2nd on Phase 2 and put me 7th overall.
