Goodyear unemployables Boldings

I was on Boldings Beech pool today it fished shocking, 26lb odd won the match on the point peg 7 I think JD drew it and fished well. We all expected the match to fish better as there was only a few of today but we struggled!

I drew peg 11 and after looking for the peg (no numbers on the slabs). The peg looked average with no features, not much cover in margin but I had an open mind. I started on the 5meter line and had a few silvers on the maggot and a couple of better ones on the corn, but no carp which was worrying. I had a look shallow and had some more silvers before getting my first carp (about 6oz). nothing was worrking and nobody was catching so it wasn't just me that was struggling. After a while I had a look on the red meat and had a carp about 5lb first chuck, and one about 2lb next cast, I've got it I thought but after that i foul hooked one and that seemed to kill it.

I had a look on the 10 meter line and had an f1 and some more roach, JD and Terry had started to have fish regulary now. I went back on th e5 meter line and changed tactics completley, which resulted in another f1 and some small carp, with 10 minutes left I foul hooked another and then had a look down the inside to nothing. All in all it was a bad day due to the rain over night as I think that knocked them of the feed.

1st) JD 26lb odd
2nd) Keith Woodbridge 15lb 00
3rd) Terry Morris 14lb 7oz
4th) JJ Gallagher 14lb 00
:(

Thanks I think the match would have been better if it was pegged different. John Benness lost his top 4 when a fish took his pole, he got it back at the other end of the pool and landed the fish 6-8lb most people would have lost the lot but the fish swam into the margin and it was easy from there.

No wonder Goodyear is going down the pan....
