Junior Club Team Challenge, Bowker Lakes 27-5-2006

[Rachel]

Fished Bowker Lakes in Manchester on Saturday. Was a 4 hour junior match. Fished on the pole out at 6m and about 3m to my right in the margins. Baited the margin swim up with 4mm expanders and hempseed. First put-in on margin swim and I bumped a small carp (elastic needs sorting as it is too tight). Second put-in and I landed a small carp about 1lb. The margin swim then went quiet so I switched to my 6m open water swim. Again, this had been baited with 4mm pellet and I popped a 4mm expander on the hook. There were plenty of bites but I kept missing them for some mysterious reason. The odd ones I connected with were just bumping off due to the elastic. I think I will re-elasticate it with a 6 latex. The margin swim produced a few roach to maggot and caster and later, the 6m swim produced a couple more small carp and a small skimmer. In total I had 4 small carp, a few roach and a skimmer to 4lb dead.

A really good report and pictures,keep them coming.Do you think you might have feed to much bait at the start and the bites you were missing were line bites,the fish you were bumping might have been foul hooked.
