Weds silvers match, baitech viaduct

Another crap turnout today, only 7 of us but it was a good field with andy power, shep, Gary webber, me , steve kedge , the gimp and Sam Powell , and after we drew that was the order we were pegged on with andy on 94 going through to Sam on 103, so it was just the diagonal bank on Cary ,so I was sandwiched between Gary and steve  , me on 99 with kedgy to my left on 100 and Gary on 97, peg 100 has been good of late with a lot of good skimmers being caught on the was fished at about 20 mtrs with corn on the hook, so I set up a 3aa wag to fish towards 100, also two pole rigs , with hardly any wind I set up two pencil floats a .25g and a .4g , both with the obligatory size 18 middy 6313 hook on .10 line. I still haven't found a better silver hook, as most others seem to blunt very quickly but I don't have any issues with middy hooks , and all I use for my carp fishing  are the 8313 pattern, again it never blunts and only opens when you foulhook something.
At the start I cupped in 3 balls at 11 mtrs and 4 at 14 mtrs all with a sprinkling of casters in, then I started n the wag and corn, a lesson learnt today , don't buy cheap corn for this as it's all sizes and shapes and it never lands where it's intended to, firing three. Or four bits out at a time and they were landing anywhere from 16 to 30 mtrs, not to good really when the float is sat at 20 mtrs, best go and buy some jolly green G methinks, I fished it for 40 mtrs with only a missed bite to show for my troubles, not supriseing really, the fish were probably really confused trying to determine where the next freebies may end up. During this time steve had a couple of skimmers and was getting odd bites, probably more due to the fact some of his corn was on or near his float, so it was out on the 11 mtr line for me , a small roach straight away then a three pound bream, lovely, I had a few more in the next hour and seemed to be doing better than most, by the end of the third hour and with several more skimmers in the net things were looking good, then it all went pear shaped , the roach arrived and to make matters worse steve had hit a purple patch on the wag catching well on his uniform corn, also Gary to my left was now catching some nice fish on the pole, I tried the wag and had two bites one from a 13lb ish carp and a 6oz skimmer so that was shelved, the only things benefitting from my catapulted corn was the ducks, I had to wait till the last 45 mins for the skimmers to return which seemed to coincide with the roach ceasing to be a nuisance and I had a few more good skimmers/small bream during that period, it was lucky I did as just edged me past steve to secure first spot on the day with 36.2
2nd steve kedge with 29.12
3rd Gary webber 28lb
4th andy power 19.4
5th shep 18.10
