Hawkhurst Fish Farm Good Friday 09

I'd arranged another match this time at Hawkhurst Fish Farm, near Hawkhurst in Kent. As the fish farm has a half decent cafe on everyone fishing the match had said we were going to have breakfast before the start of the match, which was a full english all round.

I got the draw sorted and Ted the bailiff picked my peg which was peg 13 on a friday.

I walked down to my peg started to setup the pole which was 2 margin rigs and a 5 meter line straight out in front.

The main line I setup two rigs one shallow and one hard on the bottom. After setting up we
went over to the cafe to have full english breckfast before the match, this was follwoed by
the usual banter.
At 10.00 I shouted all in and then for the next 5 hours I didn't move off the peg. I went long
for the first hour feeding a few pellets every 30 seconds, soon I was getting bites on the
bottom, with the first carp soon in the net. I started to catch through out the day rotating
round to the margins and then back out long however my catch rate was no where near what
I needed to do.

At the end of the match I finished a lonely 15th.
