WILLOW PARK SUNDAY OPEN MATCH SMALL LAKE



Well Sunday 19th saw me down at Willow Park a place i have not visited since the Army Festival last September.
Having booked in with ir0027 and mini me we sat down to a nice brekie and a cuppa before the match.
Draw time saw me pull peg 24 small lake with advice coming in on how to fish the peg i settled down and deiced to fish two lines at 13m using two trees on the left hand bank as markers. Set up for both lines were a MW power diamond 0.3 gr with 0.14mm line straight through and a maver mt4 18 hook elastics would be Preston 13 hollow. I set a paste line up 6m out to the left with a MW paste float 0.2 gr with 0.16mm line straight through to a size 12 drennan nu hook.
Plan of attack was to use soft hookers (Willis worms)on the hook with 5-8 4mm pellets flicked over the top.
All in was called and away i set on the two 13m lines after half hour float was gone and a small carp was landed happy days. Whilst waiting for my next bite i had a look over a mini me for some strange reason he had got of his box while he had a fish on ! learned later that he hadn't set his landing net up (brought a smile to my face) with 5-8 4mm pellet getting flicked over the top of both 13m lines every 5 minutes it wasn't long before carp number two was in the net.
The next bite came quick and the float shot under out came the elastic and off it went managed to get it under control and started to ship back slowly another run saw the float return at a great rate of knots and no fish(bollocks!)
After re-rigging and plumbing the depth of i went again flicking the pellet out over the 13m line and before long carp number 3 in the net having a look to my right by the looks of things my bank wasn't doing well with the odd carp being landed no one was baggin.
Having had a hour of no action on both 13m lines and the paste line the float went again 13m out same as before elastic shot out and carp number two gone things not looking good with my bank not doing all that well the last thing i needed was start losing carp!. The thing was the carp were there just not there for long more interested in chasing each other round the lake (spawning by the looks of things)
Well all out was called with mini me weighing in 18lb odd ir0027 weighing in 10lb odd (lost alot of fish in one of the corner pegs) and me with a pitiful 8lb dead it wasn't what we hoped for even the hot pegs didn't produce (what a bummer)
well another match fished and another frustrating day don't know whats going on with my fishing at the moment but as i look at it if its good or bad who cares its a day out doing some ting i ENJOY!.
