17 fished the match
Caught the Common Carp on boundary pool after the match. Some stunning fish.
I was a little concerned dawning in the corner with every other peg in as me and Lee (peg 10) were going to be a little cut off if we were going to cast past half way, the "no chuck rule" wasn't in, so we had a cast, but felt it was taking the pi$$ slightly so didn't wanna do it.
I decided to focus on pole and pellet and bomb at 20 meters. Cut a long story short, I couldn't catch on a pole and focus my attention on the bomb and pellet, which become very productive at 2pm, but looking around the lake I was behind and really behind Frank Donachie as he had 7 fish before I had one. So fair play to him winning the match and David Howard coming second to just pip me (drawn peg 14 three times in a row 😜)
