There was a joint first at Toft of 65lb odd by Jake King and Simon Potter(fishing opposite banks), which meant I picked up a section with 40lb+ of margin fish which would usually be well out the frame.
I think there was a 50 something for 3rd and 46lb by Rich Wills for the other section.
most had 20lb+ so by Toft standards it fished hard.
Simon was using bread and maggot.
I used punch and caster, and lost contact with my fish down the left margin in the last hour or so after one angler packed up early and did two noisy walks past my peg. hey Ho!
Silver lake next time and I’m really looking forward to that! Not! This year that silver lake at Toft has been my nemesis. I’ve struggled to get my head round it after last year when I was getting 15 to 20lb, now I’m looking for a bite. Reckon I’ll either blowout or get lucky and not have to fish it!
