Kingsland Silverfish Lake, 19 April 2009
Whilst the forecast was for a plesent day, the venue was very much effected by the brisk North Easterly wind that had been prevailing for the the last few days. The abuncdance of quality silver fish were reluctant to feed in any numbers on the pole line and those who persevered fishing shallow for chub were rewarded for their efforts.
Sitting in the wind on peg 18 was Ray Sladden. He started on the pellet waggler from the off, feeding and fishing 6-8mm pellets into the brisk head wind. Halfway into the match Ray had around 10 chub, which averaged about 2 1/2 lb. Not much was happening on the pole line. The odd fish were comming out. Chappy had an early Tench from the peg Trev fished on the previous saturday when he had over 100lb on the pole. Ron caught the odd fish on the pole too, whilst pinging caster with a the hope of a chub or three later in the match.
Karl was quietly putting a few fish in his net. Fishing maggot shallow an the waggler but getting rudd'ed out, he decided to concentrated on fishing the long pole shallow with pellet to be more selective for the chub. A switch that will later prove to be decisive. By the halfway point Ron began to fish maggot shallow on the waggler and caught numerous chub. Lewis, one peg to Ron's left followed suit and also managed half a dozen chub.
Interestingly, as the match came in to the final stages the chub seemed to shut up shop and only the odd fish was being caught. Ray S managed a few fish from the wind swept margin to his right but would they give him enough of a boost come the weigh in?
Result:
=1st Ron Gilbert & Karl Richards 35lb
3rd Ray Sladden 31lb 4oz
4th Jon Wilson 23lb
5th Lewis Harvey 15lb 8oz
