Simple Match Fishing Forum

13 fished today. The Match Lake offers an interesting prospect of a few 'proper' carp and good bags of bream & skimmers. So do you go for the carp outright or the bream and hope to nick a munter along the way. Makes for interesting line and elastic choices tho. Anyway the fishing turned out to be pretty hard going and a few struggled today.
Todays winner was Chris T with 70lb who opted to go for the carp on the pellet wag at long range and included two donkeys of 21 and 17lb in his net. 2nd was Josh with 58lb - he also opted for the carp route fishing on the tip with 8mms in a PVA bag and included one double in his catch. 3rd was yours truly with 52lb of bream on the corn - they were'n't really having it today but careful presentation ensuring a moving bait tempted them now and again.

I cant see them moving. I have sat here for 20 minutes and they have not moved yet. HUH Action shots

That’s about as much action as Gino got all day.
