Ivy House lakes- Open

Peg 44 kingfisher
142lb
Won lake
Second overall
Won silvers

Haven't been to Ivy House Lakes for ages!!  I think i fished it three times last year....... and the draw bag was kind to me again today.  I was hoping to get on the lake, as i do love catching big carp.  But my second best mate, Frank Donachie,  said the canals are soild and he wasn't wrong!

Fished worms long (15 meters), paste at 5 meters and maggots and EFG 151 down the edge.

I fished worms long, on my worm stodge mix.  Which is worms, corn, casters, EFG150 and had about 80lb on this.  Fished 0.5 gram rig and a 4 inch hooklength and 16 B911.

See video that on done on Liam for the mix



Fished paste at 5 meters. With potting in 2mms Animo pellets and corn.  I had about 40lb on this.

I had 20lb down the edge on maggots.  Spent too long chasing ghosts.  Rigs were too heavy.  Should of fished lighter floats, lighter lines and a 18 hook.  I think my Todber Manor rigs were a bit too manly.
