Todber Manor- Hillview. Pole only

Peg 60
272lb
Won match
27 anglers fished today's 13 metre pole only match on Hill View.

Driving on the way I was thinking, with 28 booked on it was going to be quite tight with EVERY peg is in.  So I, like a few anglers was concerned that it may fish hard and especially as been a pole only match and 13 metre limit too!!  Would the 180 mile round trip be worth it??

I drew peg 60, which is a great peg, especially with the point of the island, so shoort method chuck..... oh yeah, pole match.

I had a flying start at 4 metres on paste, first 30 mintues was awesome, then went iffy, when to 11 metres for skimmers.... I was useless.  Went short and filled in it and caught well.... last hour wasn't great (only had 43lb) thought I'd blew it.  Was surprised to have a 272lb... thought I honestly had a low 200lb.

The venue fished unbelievably well, with 27 on it, only 1 empty peg.  You need 180lb to win a section!!!  Not many venues are capable of this!!!

Rig was simple, 0.18 straight through, 3 no 8 Jon Walker Paste Float.  Feed 4mms and 2mms.  Small piece of paste on 14.  Simple.
