Really tough day. Enjoyed getting a few bites but nothing of any size. Frustrating.
Some skimmers and bream were caught to my left (a few pegs down).

Peg 5

4th overall

Peg 5 on Horseshoe Lake wouldn't be my first choice of pegs, so decide to fish pellet feeder to begin with and ping pellets on the pole line and fish down the edge with maggots. Simple approach.
The match started and chucked a pellet feeder tight to island with fishery pellets (2mm) and lasso 6mm. Had 5 carp on this in the first hour and rumour has it, that the lake is fishing hard, so reasonably pleased with the start. Jon Walker was doing the best on peg 11 with long pole.
My second hour on the pole was slow, disppointing, and decided to put worms in, as Scott was catching well on worms next to me on peg 3 and Phil was struggling on peg 7. So decided to try and catch big skimmers, which was alright. Edges was devoid, as the edge was only a top kit long, which proved costly as a lot anglers caught well done their edges in last 40 mintues and where I've struggled to catch any carp, only a few skimmers.
Still had a nice days fishing, enjoyed it, and surprised to make the frame..... Just.
Well done to Jon Walker on winning the match with 147lb and 99lb second.
Well done to Jon Walker for winning and the bonus peg.

1st place (but only just)
12 fished
Haven't been to Alders Farm for ages, so was looking forward to it. Early start, set off at 6.30 and three hours later I arrived. Traffic was murder on the A40 and A34. So there was two pegs left in and both were flyer, peg 22 and peg 5. Peg 5 has to be one of my favourite pegs on Pines Lake, as I was lucky to drew it quite a few times on the winter league.... a real "Bung Hole". However drew next to Westy on the dam wall, peg 22.
A bit of a rush to kit up. Started on the pellet feeder and had one second chuck and it was quite. Loads of fish topping, blowing and moving around..... but didn't feed. Even after the match I struggled a little.... I caught best on pinging pellets and giving it some to be fair. Had around 15 ish small carp and a coupl of skimmers to just win the match. Very tight. Two 42lb 3oz and I had 44lb 11oz. One fish in it. Can't wait to get back..... hopefully the traffic won't be a killer.

Drew peg 2 Match lake, which looked spot on and some of the friendly locals said it will be a "F1 a chuck"..... and to be far it weren't fair off. Lost my way a little. Caught shallow and 16 meters down the edge, where I was way too negative. Should of feed more bait and earlier.

This is the first time I've fished the Colmic Canal lake at Alvechurch and what a beautiful venue it is. Drew next to my two mates, Jon Walker and Mark Malin who both gave me a right bettering. I couldn't catch any carp and the edge only come good in the last 10 mintues and that didn't last....
The venue is full of fish and has sensible depth and ledges, unlike some newly dug lakes. They have done a good job, worth a visit.

An early start for me, left my house at 4am to get Lindholme. On arrival, we soon realised it was going to be really tight pegging in places with every peg in after speaking to Des Shipp and Jon Arthur. So some luck is going to be needed?!
Drew peg 10 on Bonsia, which ain't the best of areas. From experience of the venue, was going to get beat to my left on the early pegs and people that have a bit of room. Which I had none. Emma Pickering 6 yards to my left and Jake Robinson 6.5 yards to my right and a guy opposite in my gap. Things looked bleak...... So been realistic, was fishing worms and casters for anything that could swim.
So I kitted up Colmic Devil float (see below)
This had a bulk of number ten shot 4 inches from hook. Simple.
Then kitted up a Colmic Professional float (see below)
The match
On the all in, I shipped my Colmic F66 pole to the island 14.5 meters away with small amount of worms in my toss pot and caught an Ide straight away and then a couple of small F1's.... Looking round, it was fishing ok and I felt it would get tougher as the match went on, and sure enough it got mega tough once the "idiot" (mug) were caught.
Tough day to be honest. A nice event, but £65 entry for 6 yard pegging isn't really value for money?
