Viaduct Float Only.

VIADUCT FLOAT ONLY OPEN MATCH.

VIADUCT FISHERY, CARY AND LODGE, 20-05-12.

Peg 64. Lodge Lake.
Draw 10:00 Fishing 11:30 to 17:30.
Weather 17 degrees 15 mph north northeasterly winds.

30 anglers today fishing on Cary and Lodge lakes and carried on my normal drawing style and went for the last ticket which was corner peg 64 on Lodge a flyer.
This peg 64 “the Monk”, which is a concrete suture for controlling the lakes depth on your right hand side, makes it interesting when fishing into the corner.
Set up two margin rigs 4x10 J8T to 0.18 red hydro for into the corner and to the spare platform peg 63 and a 5-metre meat line 4x12 J8T that never produced a fish.
Started by feeding chop worm and caster into right hand margin then fishing meat at 5-metre which produce a bite a chuck but no fish I put this down to small Roach.
Had a look on the Margin had a Carp first putting then 2 Eels a pound each and two pound Bream and a pound Rudd. Feeding this line through a pole attached pot but it did not seem right so remove the pot and started dumping large pots of Caster and Worm plus some meat to bulk it out, which increased the catch rate.
Manage to catch from both margins but the carp from the platform where lumps probably had 60lb from both swims but only had five Carp of the platform.
Had the biggest weight on Lodge 121lb 1oz to win the section being beat by five weights on Cary.
The match was won Des Shipp with a massive 275lb 2oz caught on large waggler shallow and later the pole and meat.
Talking to Des after he decided to give up his job as a fork lift driver to become a self-employed angler so he can concentrate on his fishing!
I wish all the best in this challenge to achieve what he has and work a 40-hour week is remarkable but in any other popular sport, he would be a millionaire.
