Anyway, draw done and I had drawn the furthest walk to end peg 114. Quite fancied it, as in our previous visits, the higher numbers had always thrown up some good weights of Roach on squatt and caster.
Rigs set up and g/b mixed time for the off. Fed a punch line at 3 metres, a choppie line down the track and 3 balls of g/b and squatt on two lines over. It was very shallow, with less than a foot on the boat opposite. I fed a flat spot about 8 metres out with about 18" depth.
After almost an hour of rotating every line, I was still biteless
Then a small roach on the punch followed by....nothing. 20 minutes later, a small roach on the pinkie, followed by....... nothing for another 20 minutes
To cut a long story short, I had 8 bites for 7 fish
. Really couldn't understand why and can only think it was cos it was flat calm. Only had 3 boats through all match, which again is unusual. Anyway, enough of my woes, the tale of the scales:Peg 104. Dave W. 0-13-8
Peg 105. Mike E. 1-12-13
Peg 106. Zorro. 3-6-10
Peg 107. Carlos. 3-9-2
Peg 108. Cotti. 4-1-0
Peg 109. Pete W. DNW
Peg 110. KOD 2-10-9
Peg 111. OBI 2-15-6
Peg 112. Yamo 2-8-6
Peg 113. Tricast 0-13-6
Peg 114. MrV 1-2-5.
Some quality roach caught by Cotti, Carlos and Zorro, and a few tales of lost big perch. Well done the framers, and Thanks Mike and Den for weighing in.
