Tuesday costcutter acorn fishery

Breakfast at the bridge in yatton again , and its nice, so a good start for the day.
Got to the fishery to find a really low turnout, which was a bit of a surprise as although it was damp and windy, it was nice and mild, so the 5 of us got the draw sorted, peg 5 Mike Owens , 6 Adrian Mercato, Lee Waller on 22, me on 34 and ed wynne on 37.
Been using the map z30 box for over a month now and I must say its a nice box, very stable and sturdy, also the new Preston rig roost is a proper piece of kit, I was never one for roosts before as I always found them to get in the way, but the Preston one seems ok and I've had no issues of it being in the way, it probably helps as my map side tray has two support legs with a couple of positions ,so you can get the legs on even on narrow platforms , and the roost goes onto one of those.
That's enough advertising for now, back to the fishing , and that was hard . Normally its possible to catch a few fish in the open water , but not today, every fish I caught was against the bridge , and that wasn't enough as Mike on 5 caught quite steadily and Adrian on 6 had a good second half, although he had a bit of a torrid time with lost fish, but as normal he still came up smiling.
Mike won on the day with 59lb catching on soft pellet over micros just off the far bank in a couple of feet of water.
2nd Adrian on 6 with 46.2
3rd me 26.9
4th Lee Waller 13.9
5th ed wynne 13.5
Only thing was that I had top silver's weight with 4.13, just edging out the acorn silver's ace ed wynne with 4.11.
It's not really silver's a there were a few goldfish in the nets, all very colourful.
Don't forget the Veals sale starts on Friday and finishes Monday, only 4 days this year, but plenty of bargains to be had though.
