Maver Classic Qualifier.
Peg 82.
Draw 9.00. Fish 10.15 to 15.15.
Back up to Larford Lakes to try to put right the last visit to the venue where I was woeful. Talking to Neil McKinnon before the match about the small turn out only 28 the same time last year you had 60 pegs sell out with a waiting list this was down to the level being down about 3 foot and the Peggy nature. Angler are spoilt for choice with lots of commercial fishing venue in a 20 mile radius so with 14 pegs on each bank into the draw bag pick out the end peg on the bungalow bank talking to a few locals it good summer peg for Carp with no Skimmer form.
I wont bore you with the Match it was desperate no bite on the method cast in various spots and just 1 x 1lb+ Skimmer 2 x 6oz Roach 1 x 8oz Perch on caster down into the margin in about 4 foot of water.
Again I was on my way home before the results where read. The angler next door pack up with 2 hours to go the angler on peg 78 had 3 carp in the first hour and some Skimmers for a section winning 29lb and Neil McKinnon would have been 2nd in the section with 28lb. the winner probably came from the 60’s.
I will go again to Larford but not this side of Christmas because the next weekend I am fishing will be at Avalon Christmas Match.
