Avon Angling Float Only 2013

AVON ANGLING FLOAT ONLY SERIES.

ROUND 1 .VIADUCT FISHERY, 19-05-13.

Peg  114 Campbell.
Draw 10:00 Fishing 11:30 to 17:30.
Weather: - Sunny, 14 degrees, 3mph Northwesterly winds.

The last couple of years I have frame in this series of matches with 40 people again fishing so the same as last year 8 section of 5 there is 6 matches in the series you are allowed to drop your worst result so 20 point should see you picking up money at the end.
Today I drew peg 114 on Campbell with an empty peg 113 the section ran from 110 to 115. This would be the first bagging match of the year and it showed I felt rusty and completely out of touch with the venue.
I had lots fish in front of me and could get indication on all the lines that were feed most fish hook were not in the mouth, foul hooking was a big problem.
In hindsight, I should have fished shallow with pellets but hindsight a wonderful thing I had 4 on it but should have stuck at in.
Weighed 76lb putting me second in the section.
The match was won by Craig Edmonds he unstoppable at the moment next year I try and fit in a practice Match before the first round because I felt so far of the pace.

Plantation Horseshoe Lake.

TONY RIXON FLOAT ONLY.

PLANTATION FISHERY, 21-04-13.

HORSESHOE LAKE.

Peg 17 .
Draw 10:00. Fishing 11:15 to 17:15.
www.plantationlakes.co.uk/home.htm
Weather Overcast 10degrees 10 mph Southwesterly winds.

I enjoy visiting new venues and Sunday was my first visit to Plantation Horseshoe Lake. First impression weren’t great there were small islands and a shallow bar interlinking them which can be seen on Google earth.
Peg 17 would be my home look fine it had a small island at 11 metres with Pampas grass growing on it and a bare patch were the resident Canadian Geese use for getting on and of the island. The depth against the grass was 2 foot dropping down to about 7 foot at 8 metres and 3 foot was to be had in front of the empty peg to my right.
A little 4x8 J8 [chimp] to 0.14 for against the island with a 16 808 hook attached to Grey hydro as I have been told the fish average 2½lb. This rig caught all of my weight and the biggest fish was about 4lb all falling to soft pellet fished over mix size coarse pellets.
I weighed 37lb 6oz putting me last in the money with £40.00, I would not want to fish this place every week but it was a lot better than I thought it was going to be Craig Edmonds won with 69lbs from a peg they call the Gnome point Swim he caught Carp from on top the bar at 14 metres.
