The only peg left in was 38, so that's what I had to fish lol.
There was only 9 people there but I wasn't bothered. Just nice to fish up there again.
You only get 30 mins to setup so I only setup 3 rigs, one of those a shallow rig. Quick to setup and I had seen carp topping.
I setup a 7 meter line dead in front of me and a margin rig.
You can't use many baits up the willows(paste, pellet) so I just used hemp and corn, I also had some meat, maggots and caster but didn't intend to use them.
Just got setup and the all in came, I cupped in a handful of hemp and 10 lumps of corn into each swim and started on the 7 meter line. By this time it had started raining [highlight]again[/highlight] ::) ::)
After 20 mins, not even a sniff so I moved onto the margin, I would have give it longer had it been a 5 hour match but these matches are only 3 hours and the margins are always better up the willows.
I waited for about 10 mins and the float went under and shot off towards the middle of the pool. It was good the catch a good carp again after the sh!t start I have had to the year
5 mins later I landed a 8lb common, fantastic fish and gave a right good scrap, made my arm ache 
Went straight back but never had another touch until the last 30 mins
I hooked into another carp, not as big as I got him up to the top right away and saw it was a nice mirror. Couple mins later he was in the net, a nice 5lb'er
Missed a few more bites, but I think they were liners as they started to feed at the end of the match. Typical
I finished with 13lb for 2 fish and came 3rd. I got di*ked out of second by 7oz.. BOOOOOO
1st place weighed 17lb
The rain stopped just in time for us to pack up. Nice evenings fishing. Will be going next week too. Hopefully catch a few more.
