ipc34..i fished the open on here today so hopefully i can help with a bit of info.
It fished well again with 77lb winning it..i was second with 59lb,third had 56lb,fourth 54lb,fifth 53lb,sixth 51lb and there were some forties and i believe the lowest weight was 20lb odd.
Most fish came to the pole with expander pellet or corn on the hook.
Feedwise i found it best to just feed micro pellet with a few 4mm pellets.
i was feeding corn in with my pellet originally but found when i cut out feeding corn my catch rate improved as all i was getting on corn was dib dibs on the float and never had a proper bite.
Fished at 13 metres most of the day but occasionaly went to 16 metres to pick up odd fish when resting the 13 metre line.
Hope this helps a little.
Woody.
