Match day 3 of this delayed season saw me and Big T try a new venue, the 78th we have fished.
Owsten Fisheries was the venue and after originally getting lost on route we finally arrived on site and chose two pegs on the nearside bank. I chose peg 6 with Dad on peg 5.
The weather was already warm and with hot sun forcast all day we were high in spirits for a good day in the nice weather.
The match wasn't really a contest. I ran away with the victory netting 11 Mirror Carp (the biggest being 8 lb 8 oz) Dad struggled all day bagging just the three fish for a total of 18 lb 8 oz, although he snatched half a point equaling the 8 lb 8 oz largest fish of the day.
The venue is nice and peaceful and the owners seem friendly, we will definately return at some point
I now lead 14-1 in the race for the Wilkie Trophy..
