Peg H4
3lb
3rd in section.
Team was third on the day.
I was hoping for to draw Foxhangers (A Section) or the top the Pile (B Section), but unfortunately I drew H section and on arrival to my peg I had no feature. This was hard for me to get truely motivated as the Team has no chance of qualifying for the final at Decoy / Drains, and therefore this was an open match for us, and where I had draw it was going to be alomost impossible to frame or even win the section from this peg.... not making excuses, but I feel the best canal angler in the country wasn't going to catch 8lb from this peg. So no wheel spinning in car park or throwing my toys out the pram, I was going to try and catch what I can and accept that it was always going to be a tough match for me.
I am always positive when I fish, don't believe that you win sections and matches by been negative normally. But been realistic I honestly felt if i'd fished for big fish all match it could be the most unproductive 5 hours fishing of my life. so therefore decided to fish early and late for a bonus fish, as this is normally when they feed. I started on bread, and hoped id catch a BIG skimmer, I felt this was my best chance, so put in a full pot of bread (400 ml) and catch on a 5mm punch. This result in 3 tiny roach.... gutted so onto the worm, where I was lucky enough to get one bite on the worm down the track, which resulted in a 6oz perch (I thought they were all 2lb??!!) and that was my only bite.
Unfortunately now I was going to play the numbers game and catch anything that swims on a squatt or pinkie on the 3/4 quarter line. 100 tiny fish went about 2lb and had one 6oz skimmer out of the blue.... Frustrating as I don't know how I could of caught much more from this peg. The last forty mintues of the match I tried again to catch a big fish, which didn't happen.
