Peg 9 Curse continues

Back to Acorn for another Tuesday midweek affordable match. All the peg fees went to the poppy appeal again this week, the Bartletts really are a great bunch!👍.

21 fished I drew a favoured peg 9, a great peg but one that I have yet to frame off☹, you could say this is my bogey peg🤣🤣😂.

I was unsure wether to focus on silvers or carp for this match, this would prove my downfall.

I started tight across with maggot hookbait and feeding neat groundbait via a small pole mounted pot. A nice little run of small stocky carp got me off the mark.

After an hour I tried my silvers line out to my right at 13Metres, I had fed this on the all in with a pot of GB, 5 mins of wrestling the pole in the wind and I decided to sack this line off as unfishable☹☹☹.

Back across and things were slow, I moved my swim a metre to the right had another little run but it wasn't going to happen.

So I dropped down the shelf fed a bit more positively and started to catch skimmers😊. I stayed with this and the line got stronger and this was the point I decided to stick with the silvers. Eventually a few carp muscled in on the line and this really slowed down my catch rate.

I felt I was perhaps too far behind others now to go for carp so stuck it out for the Silvers.

I weighed 12lb 15oz of silvers, can't help but think I might have pushed the silver framers had I been on the silvers line earlier and if not for those carp intruding.

I weighed 31lb 9oz of Carp and didn't really fish for them, perhaps if I had been more positive and fished for them I might have been in the frame?

All in all I think bad decisions and not feeding positively enough cost me on the day. Still had a great day's sport though and plenty of bites, not bad for November!

The PEG 9 CURSE continues🤣🤣😂😂😂
