Well seeing as I have only just been able to get my gear out of the car and have just completed the results today at the first opportunity I have had,you need a little more patience Tony. And it looks like you will need to wait a little longer as the uploads to photobucket are not working correctly. Im now off for some insulin and a late lunch.
Right sorted now.

That was a different day to the normal summertime fish race at Arrans. I had read last year that some anglers in the big weight matches had fished paste and caught some 15lb plus fish. I decided two weeks ago that rather try to compete in a fish race, I would make paste my main attack and hope to catch less but bigger fish.
As per usual by the time I got myself sorted out I was 20 minutes late starting, but the first four chucks six inches from the edge produced 4 fish for around 18lb. Like everyone else I suffered with spooky fish drifting in and out of the swim. The left hand side was much shallower and despite trying it both in the edge and a couple of feet out didnt have a fish from it. Only had 2 fish in the last 20 minutes but at 6lb each they were worth catching.
There seemed to be a few differing opinions on when it is best to fish Arrans, some prefer August to be able to challange their PB match weights, others like the more relaxed early months which can be just as challenging to catch a decent weight of harder to catch fish.
Me I liked this years match but what do you lot think.?
the match this year was just right
