landsend lge final match

After the usual good brekkie at shipham it was off to the fishery,  I was on speci lake and it would have been nide to round off the series with a good draw and some fish in thr net, it has been a difficult series for me, with only one good draw so far, trouble os on this lake you really want to draw one of 4 pegs, 31/32/33&34, as all the fish, carp and silvers want to be on these pegs for some reason, into tje draw bucket and out comes 36, not what I really wanted , but mark Poppleton had it in the last round and had nearly 90lb off it so I thought there maybe a chance of some fish. Mark had cought on caster over caster straight over to the island and banded pellet at 16 mtrs to the left against the island, so 2 rigs for that and a meat rig for 5 mtrs, that turned out to be a waste of a tin of meat as I never had a bite there, for company I had martin lenaghan on 37 and paul"the queue jumping draw bag" on 34,
the match was a bit of a non starter for me and the anglers to my right with martin struggling,  fabio on 39 blanking and Steve seager on 40 landing 1 perch and 2 roach,  it was a different story on the pegs to my left with all of them on the fancied swims getting bites from carp and silvers, sdrian jeffery on 33 went into an early lead landing several carp on maggot fished at half depth towards the aerator, without feeding anything, but this may have been a bit of a mistake,  as after a couple of hours his swim died and paul on 34 who had been feeding a few 6mm pellets and fishing a banded 8mm started to catch steadily in about 15 inches of water on the point of the island,  down along the island at our end bites were at a premium,  I ended up with one small carp and a decent ide on corn, plus a couple of 1lb perch and some small roach on caster,  ending up with 9.15, for absolutely no good today,  paul elmes caught on and off all match and ended up with 166lb which is a good weight at this time of year,  which gabe him a lake win and top weight over the 3 lakes on the day, mark Poppleton on 11 was second with 110lb, also giving him a section win which was enough to give him victory in the league overall so well done to him, he pushed trigger edmunds down into 3nd spot on this last match,with ken rayner also pushing trig doen a plade to 3rd but with trig on peg1 which has been a bit bit of a graveyard in this series the writing was on the wall as soon as the draw was done,  for the full results ken rayner should have them on his blog in a few days, or if you have mark poppleton as a friend on facebook, no doubt he will be on there slapping his own back lol,
