Match Fishing 2023 | Gold Valley Lakes | Open Match | 6/8/2023

Описание: So, back to Gold Valley once more to try my hand at scoring big in the weekly open match on Syndicate Lake. I was feeling fairly confident following the draw - I was happy with the area and the previous weeks had been great practice, sorting out my thoughts on what I needed to do in order to win the match - the feeding volume, the method over the bomb line if it was hard, a couple down the edge to finish - things looked good.

Setting up there were a few fish moving about, I had an ok edge line to my right (angler to my left) so I pulled out all the required tools - waggler, 2x feeder rods, bomb rod and 2x pole lines (I was determined to catch on the pole line this week)

But, what I hadn't accounted for was the possible impact of the rain the previous days and these things do make a big difference. No carp likes a change in temperature and a lot of cold rain had gone in and it certainly had an impact on the fishing as the video showed.

As if turned out I did well on the day coming 5th overall - yes I caught less but so did everyone else and watching it back I was mostly happy with my match - couple on the wag, few on the feeder, some on the bomb, the tactic of changing things around was working - the chink in that though was when I went down the edge - there were fish there and I was getting signs but they were not having it for some reason, that cost me time and ultimately the section. I am generally very good at not staying on lines for too long but in this match I had signs and a bite whereas if I had spent another 15mins in the bomb it may well have resulted in another fish - lessons learned :)
