viaduct teams of 5 rnd 4

my turn on cambell today and the draw wasnt particularly kind to me as i ended up on 116, a good warm weather peg but no good at the mo . most of the carp seem to be hanging off the front of the spit on 128, 129 and opposite on 112, 113 and 114 as well as odd fish all round that half of the lake. with the wind and rain in my face and across it was always going to be difficult. 2 pole rigs one a 1grm with an 18 6313 to .10 for over the g bait(the g still means ground mr blackmore) , the other was a 4x16 with an 18 6313(middy)to .12 for over the caster line at 16 mtrs(wind permitting) and i also set up a straight lead rod and a wag to fish over the 2 pole lines.
at the start i put in 3 balls at 13 mtrs , some casters at 16 mtrs then chucked the tip out with treble maggot on an 18 xedion hook, 25 mins and the tip went round not a carp but a welcome pound and a half skimmer was in the net touble was the people on the pegs i said were already getting odd carp so i was dead and buried as they dont move at the moment. so out on the pole at 13 mtrs first and second drop on single maggot and 2 more 8 oz skimmers were in the net then a small tench , it might not be to be to bad then. then nothing so out to 16 mtrs on caster , again a bite first drop and a 2 lb skimmer then nothing again so back to 13 mtrs and another small skimmer and that was the end of my match, the wag wouldnt work as the wind was now gale force and the float was blowing back towards me , not even a tremble on the tip, all i could get was the occasional small roach on the pole when the wind dropped for a few seconds. todays highlight goes to the human plummet, old 64 turns himself timmy plummet(palant)who stepped off the side of 119 and ended up in waist deep icy water, gutted i didnt see it.
the match was won by chris dare on 114 with 70.01 with maggot on the lead
2nd dave (spray tan)luke on 132 with 62.15 on the wag and towards the end on the pole down the edge all on maggot.
3rd ray hayward peg 13 55.12
4th chris sanford 53.9 peg 8
5th lance(was that the whistle)tucker peg 85 with 53.1
6th phil cardwell 47.4 peg 128
silvers were won by steve jackson on 38 with 23.13 using caster on the wag
2nd viaducts very own monk steve long with 17.3 on lodge lake
i think there must be a coffee shortage in somerton as hayley greenwood is now using egg cups to sell it and also she tried to sell me an out of date pie at the full price , christ she is hard , no wonder paul always looks so down trodden.

i even had to give fabio 2 quid as i had 7 lb for 7 points but he had 11 lb for 15 points, there,s always next week but the forecast is to go cold again so it may be hard . but the met office does have a knack of getting it wrong
