A beautiful sunny day at Decoy on the Willows lake, not being used to lakes and ponds I took a "Blitzkrieg" approach. I always fish with rod and line, I took a variety of baits including maggot, castor, pellet, hemp, corn, dynamite and hand grenades. I fished shallow, deep, far bank (island) and in near margins. Using 8lb line with a 6.5 hook length with hooks ranging from 18 to a grappling iron. My finishing weight was dismal at around 5.5lb plus one Carp that suffered a heart attack. I came last in my section, last in the match, in fact it was probably the lowest weight in the whole of the Decoy complex but it was a fantastic day fishing with a great bunch of blokes (some comedians) and that is what makes it all worthwhile.
That is my match report and will probably be published in all the major fishing mag's, might even be made into a movie - who knows.
