Saturday Open Match. 23rd October 2010
Jon and Pat waiting for the draw
A very hard match indeed, a sign of things to come for the winter league maybe ? The carp were very shy today but the silvers turned up in large numbers. I was on one of my favourite pegs, peg 26 and only had one bite before I had to leave. I Had a party to get back for but would have liked to have caught a fish before I left but I didn’t so another blank for me 😀
I took a few pictures before I left…

Sounds like you fellas had bit if a hard time then.
Must admit that as I sat at work yesterday looking out the window I thought the lake would fish well and I was a little envious I wasn’t there.
Plenty of silvers came out so I take it maggot is back on the menu then.
Well done Mick Lane, looks like you kept your self busy with plenty of bites coming.
Roll on Wednesday.
Must go, the Grand Prix rerun is about to start (did I mention I was working today as well!)
I had a really enjoyable day. I never realised Rolfs contained so many silvers till yesterday.
I will be back for more on Wednesday, see you then Mick.
That was a cracker of a Carp you had too, Pat.
I wonder who will be the first to do a Ton of sivers?
See you there, Pat.
Just seen this match featured in the match results section of Angling Times, how rare is that.
