.
Still haven't got this pellet fishing sorted, I’m missing a couple of vital fish in order to more me into a frame place!   Last couple of matches I have struggled to maintain a steady stream of fish.........

  • I'm unsure if to feed one line, gets exhausted more start another fresh line, then move onto another.
  • Rotating between two lines, feed one and then fish other and rotate, this gives the fish time to settle (have been doing this and feel this isn't 100% correct)
  • How much to feed?  To each bite or fish? 
  • Do you feed ten, fifteen, twenty, etc 4mm pellets? 
  • Is micro’s better for these new stocky fish? 
  • "Pinging pellets on top" (fish coming to noise, but can bring them up-in-the-water and you can over do it i.e. feed too much)
Generally speaking more positive feeding will result in more carp, Manor has a large head of carp, but today I only had one.  Also speaking to other anglers not many carp fed today.  Micro’s did result in a few missed bites once the carp was feeding on Middle's match on Saturday, but I felt that the micro bought more small F1's into the peg or encouraged them to feed, but when the carp feed I missed a couple of bites, and therefore only fed 4mm's and began to connect with the bites.  But them missed bites maybe have cost me section win.

This fished very hard and there were even two blanks in my section.  Now you know it's super tough when Mark Harper and Sean Ashby are the people that blank.  Only 2lb 7oz won the section and Scott Geens was second with 2lb 5oz.


Fair play Darren Cox won the match with 23lb.

Manor Farm - Island

  • Peg 23
  • 22lb 10oz
  • Last


Pole line was good for short periods for these new F1's and I wasted a lot of time fishing the feeder and bomb trying to catch some carp which produce nothing!

A bad mistake trying to catch bigger fish, as this has cost me the section, as 26lb won it, only needed 3lb 8oz


Last fish was the biggest, 37 F1's for 22lb 10oz.

  • 6lb 2oz
  • B2
  • Section Win
  • 2nd overall


Cracky bag of fish, Micky with impressive 17lb 14oz
Avington is a cracking venue and has been fished a lot recently which has had a knock effect on the weights, and the weather hasn't helped!  However, I have had a great days fishing, as I have caught small fish all day, whereas I think a lot of venues would of been a struggle to catch, yet alone Micky Ellyatt awesome catch!

Hillview - Open

  • Peg 2
  • 28lb
  • 1 carp, a couple of roach and around 15 skimmers
  • 3rd

    
    Chain is very important to cut through the ice

    My first fish at Hillview in a long time.
    I have this carp after 40 minutes, and then took an age to catch my next fish.
    Trickle in a little bit of mirco pellet
    Robin was my friend.
    A late run of skimmers was way too late to pull it back. 


    Top 3

    34lb Andy Pollard
    32lb Chris Cameron
    28lb Myself
