one in the eye for mr anonymous

round 4 of the float only lge found us back at landsend on all 4 lakes and with only larry let down (mr notton) we still had 55 fishing (does that constitute a proper match mr anon). i let trigger draw for me and he handed me 29 which is on the far side of the speci lake , not a bad draw, but with dean malin on 31 and gary etheridge on 32 i would have my work cut out to win the section. i set up 2 identical rigs to fish over to the island with banded 8mm on the usual 16 b960 on .18 line, a corn/soft pellet rig for 11 mtrs and a paste rig for down the edge. at the start i cupped in some soaked 3,s at 11 mtrs and some 6,s down the edge, by this time dean on 31 was already playing a carp, so i began feeding 6,s to the island in front and another area to the left at about 16.5 mtrs, and i did manage to mug one straight away so at least i was level with dean. then the fun began, with the water levels being so low with at least a foot of water missing from the lakes the far shelf was now only 12 inches deep so lifting and dropping the bait wasnt really working also these fish are to cute to take a suspended bait, and you cant swing the bait around as there is to much foliage hanging over the water, so you had to ease the rig in towards the island and lift and drop as best you could without snagging the bushes, which i managed to do a lot trashing rigs in the process. foulers were a major problem and i was losing more than i was landing, about halfway through the fish seemed to settle a bit and i began to get them in the mouth, by this stage i think me and dean were about even, but then the aerater went off and deans peg went a bit quiet whereas i kept sneaking a few. i did get one carp at 11mtrs on corn and lost 2 foulers there as well, and the edge paste line never got looked at,by switching between the to island swims i managed to end up with 25 carp to deans 18 so the section win was looking good, when the scales turned up my 25 fish went 156.2 and i did have about 6lb to much in one net but luckily it didnt cost me but it was close as nick duckett on peg 1 on the match lake put 145.14 on the for second spot
3rd dean malin 119.9 on peg 31
4th john dursley 108 on peg 11
5th fred roberts 106.8 peg 19
6th craig(trigger)edmunds 71 on peg 13
sivers went to trigger with 38 lb of skimmers chub and tench on peg 13
