chilton trinity, wildmarsh lake

30 booked in for todays match which was a bit of a suprise as its not a bagging water (yet !). i had one no show which is a bit annoying especially as i even had a call at 6.20 sunday morning trying to book in but as i was limited to pegs i had to refuse him, the person in question new the evening before but didnt think it important to let me know, thats one for the bottom of the invite list !!!!!!!!!!
back to the draw and with a hot day (at last) forcast a draw on the carp pegs around the back of the island would be favourable as with the bright sunshine i thought the skimmers may not be to cooperative, kev molten drew for me and handed me peg 3 on the island, due to the angle you are sat at on this peg you cant see much of the rest of the venue, in fact the only person i could see was andy bryant on the other side on peg 58 so it was going to be hard to gauge what was happening.
with tha lake still at top level i had about 8 ft of water out at 14mtrs so i set up a 4x16 rig for banded pellet with an 18 b960 hook on .14, a 4x14 paste rig(yes you are reading right)with a 14 9313 on .16, a meat rig for the left hand margin under a tree and a caster rig for 4 mtrs. starting on the caster rig i managed 2 small roach in the first 10 mins, so that was going no where, there was a bit of fizzing going on at 14 mtrs where i had cupped some 4,s so it was out with the banded 6mm hard pellet, but that only produced a couple of iffy wobbles on the float, so it was onto the paste, first drop in and i fouled a carp just off bottom which came off, then for the next 90 mins i had several good skimmers and a small golden tench then the fizzing slowly stopped and that was the end of my skimmer sport, halfway through and a look on the meat line in the margin and the first(and only)bite produced a 2lb barbel, 4 hours in and with no bites i went for a bit of a wander and chris fox on peg 10 on the island had 4 carp and a few small silvers, but he was being entertained by martin lenaghan on pek 40 who was losing carp in the weed bed to his left, and by the end he was admitting to having done 23 fish losing loads of rigs and some elastic to the norfolk reeds (good for trade i say), back to my peg and i had 2 more bites on the paste in the last hour which gave me 2 carp for about 10lb so i thought i would have about 25lb, and as i couldnt see any one apart from andy i never had a clue as to who had caught what.
considering this is more of a traditional lake and the big yellow ball in the sky made for difficult conditions but the weights werent to bad really.
first on the day went to paul locke on peg 22 with 58.12 which was 6 carp for 24.12 and 34lb of skimmers all caught on paste at 13mtrs
2nd went to mike west on 14 with 57.7
3rd anton page on 11 with 38.11
4th tony rixon 30.14
5th dave roper peg 6 30.13
6th dean malin peg 42 28.4

paul locke 34lb paste
tony rixon 20.8 paste
nick collins 20.3 on something called casters
