We chose to head up to Woodlands to fish Kestrel. Kestrel is one of the match lakes up there and home to some big fish.
We got to the lake at 5.30am to be told that we were too early and normally cant start until 6.30am / 7.00am. Luckily they took pity on us and let us got on early.
We started at 6.15am and the match was to finish at 1.15pm as I had to be back in Leeds for an appointment at the Opticians.
I was on Peg 12, Dad on 11. The pegs were quite spacious and the weather was sunny so I was looking forward to a good session.
From the first cast I seemed to catch almost every time I threw the method out. Dad was alternating between Pole and Feeder but with no luck.
Half way through the match I had built a near 20 lb lead and the 5 points were in the bag.
The second half of the match was exactly the same. As soon as I cast out I hooked a fish and they came thick and fast. Over on Peg 11 Dad had started catching but only small skimmers. I too was catching skimmers and lots of them but I had the added bonuses of some Carp that Dad didn't.
We fished 6 1/2 hours (I had a 30 minute break to go get bacon sarnis from Cafe)
Dad finished with 11 fish for 13 lb 10 oz.
I had a massive 48 lb 4 oz with 34 fish (27 Bream, 5 Carp and 2 Tench)
So a 5-0 win for me moved me 24 points clear at the top of the league and only 11 points from a Title win.
