This sunday it was the turn of Sam hostick's ponds, Island and Moat. It was the BobCo teams of 4. I had heard that the place was fishing very hard and the winning weights were of ide.
They are a few bait restrictions at Sam hosticks so baits were limited to caters, worms, plain pellets (no flavourings or dyed baits) and corn, no meat or bread of any description. My bait for the day was.......
3pts casters
1/2 kilo worms
1 tub 4mm pellets
1 tub 6mm pellets
1 tin of corn.
I was nominated to draw the envelope for our team, me a drawbag.....never!
I let my Uncle John open the envelope and we picked our pegs.
Peter Milner and Bob Jones drew on Island lake we knew this was gonna be a very difficult lake as Bert Lockwood told us 10lb would be very good weight off this lake today, so Peter and Bob had there work cut out today.
Me and John were on Moat i had peg 10 and John drew 18.
I had Dave Spruce (owner of Bobco) in my section and John had Dave Glover (Bobco coffee drinker) in his, Bobco usually win this team event so these were the guys we had to beat in our section.
Ide Rigs were tied up on 0.12 stroft to mustad wide gape match hooks size 18.
Floats were a Preston Pb1 for shallow work and MW slim for the far shelf work.
Top kits were 8 and 10 latex.
Carp rigs were 0.16 to clomic 501. To similar floats except for shallow work a MW pea was used.
Top kits black and purple hydro.
I started on the far shelf line 14mts (pictured) fishing a worm head on the hook and feeding chooped worm and caster with the odd grain of corn incase any carp were about.
I caught steadily on this line catching mainly ide with a bounus tench 2lb plus and some skimmers. But i kept feeding caster by hand at 5-6mts and with the catty into open water at 11mts, in case this line died, which it did at 12 o'clock the place just died, i even spotted someone laid out on the grass having a kip.
I tried my other lines but i was just nicking the odd ide off them and i would die, if anyone can offer any help on why this happens, please do so.
For the remainder of the match i kept altering my lines and depths and could only get the odd fish and losing a very big ide near 3lb at the net at the time i thought that fish is gonna cost me today!
Time was called and i think everyone was glad to be honest.
As the scales got to me Dave spruce was leading the section with 23lb and i had no idea how much i had.
The carp net was thrown up the bank with nowt in it. Pulled my silvers net out and thought it was gonna be close, will that lost big ide cost me the section.......nah i weighed in 25lb dead and was leading the lake and won my section,job done!
Got round to my Uncle and he was admitting 10lb ish and he was right. Then Steve from Meanwood Ac plonked 27lb on then it got worse Dave Glover plonked 45lb on and said it died on him too, looks like going to the casino all night worked Dave!
John was 4th in his section and i was 1st in mine so we had 5 points from our lake, how had Peter and Bob done.
Bert Lockwood (Bobco) won his lake with 11lb and therefore the section so things were looking good for them, but it got worse for us. This lake fished rockhard and Peter and Bob struggled. Peter had a 4th in section with 2lb and Bob DNW . Disaster!!!!
Back to the pub for Stella, chips and the results.
1st Bobco select
2nd Meanwood Ac
3rd White Horse. (Our team)
Idividual
1st Dave Glover well done Dave.
2nd Steve......ooops forgot his second name,
