Button Hole - Net Requirements

You'll need a minimum of 2 nets, one for carp, one for silvers. Max 50lb in a net but the bailiff doesn't seem too concerned if this is exceeded. I suggest take a spare, especially if you get up to 50lb with plenty of time left on the clock.

Ray "Mr T" Torrington went for a 'practice' session yesterday, I am expecting a bit of a report from him soon so watch this space for further info...

I wont be there Sunday but I did call the bailiff, Tony (number off the venue we site) and this is what he told me:

Island pegs:

Fish tight to the island (14-14.5m) on the shelf (6-12 inches deep) with big baits (cat meat or paste). Bites will either be small dips or your pole will be pulled round. Small dibber floats best.

Open Water Pegs:

Fish long (11-13m) with pellet/paste and look for signs of fish shallow. if they come shallow feed and fish for them there. Pole line depth vary from 5-7 feet, depending on what end of the lake you are at.

Any Peg:

Feed the margins: these will produce but are best when there is not much bank side disturbance. I'd suggest catmeat or paste for the better fish from what I have gleened.

Dont ignore the silvers: A match was won recently with 70lb of rudd caught 12inches deep at 2-3m on maggot. Keep dripping in the feed. I suggest keeping an eye on others around you and if carp aren't being caught, get on this line to add a few lb to your weight.

Tony also said dont be shy with the feed but I'd suggest not to dump a load in as you cant take it out!

Hope this helps
