Alvechurch Fisheries - Canal Lake

Peg 11
41lb
No good (as Antony pointed out i was 7th)
14 anglers fished

14 anglers on todays match, prayed mot to draw peg 14 again..... as it is a little tight at the top, with 16, 14, 12 and 11.  Draw 11, which should be alright, a lit of fish here last week, at least I will have my own peg............

Started on 8mm bread at 13 meters..... 1 foul hooked 5lber, most people playing there second.   Went in again and pricked one.... not feedibg fish.  Then a roach, terrible sign and then a 2lb carp in the first twenty mintues.  I was getting battered either side.  So decided to feed morcos and maggots, had a carp straight away.  Then nothing but roach.  Nightmare.  With 1.5 hours gone, Sreve had 13 carp and AJ had 5 to my 3 carp.

Tried hard to catch..... didnt happen, caught a few ide on the 5 meter line, but that wasn't lasting, getting more frustrated i decided to feed a decent amount of maggots and mirco on two lines.... and last 1 hour had 5 carp, 2 barbel and 5 ide, quite productive, but i was way too far behind to come back from the dead.

Maybe my expectations / standards are too high, but i do consider 7th out of 14 anglers is a blow out.

Happy new year to you all.  Lets hope 2019 is a little better?!

ALL the weights.
