The venue was packed, i had not seen so many people fish the venue. We all managed to find a parking spot...
I drew peg 13, which was devoid of nearside vegitation. Others seemed to fair better...
To my left did not look much better, but the far side seemed a better option...
I decided to fish against the far bank, which had an under-cut, this could be a fish holding area...
The inside would be if nothing else worked...
At the off i struck into a small Ghost Carp followed by my one and only Barbel of the day. I continued to fish this line for an hour, with nothing else to show, except plenty of line bites. A move to the inside brought me a Roach. Things were not looking good, it just seemed to dry up. I plugged away at the far bank, changing tactics and got a Bream.
Most of us were getting bored by the lack of fish. Then out of nowhere a duck came flying round the fishery with someones top three pole section in tow
It managed a few circuits of the fishery before landing on one of the islands. That made our day, though i missed the oppertunity of a photo.I changed tacticts again and managed to find a few Carp, by now time was running out. Time was called and i had managed to weigh 10lb 2oz. I enjoyed the day and it was good to get back on the bank...
