the forecast was for rain and increasing wind from the north west, so the brolly went up to save dashing about when the rain arrived
a few pots of soaked micro pellets went over at 11 metres and a couple into the margin on my left, i started on the far side taking roach and small carp and the odd skimmer, it must have been an hour in before i hooked my first good carp of around 5lbs, then took one of similar size in the margin swim, after that single fish the margin swim died a death and i couldnt buy a bite again, i fed heavily on the other side again and luckily the fish fed on, although not as avidly as they are on the bread, 5 hours later i had 50lbs of fish, i could only hope the match would produce as good.
