Saturday 26th Feb, third big bash match of year.
Pine Lakes, Thorne

Nice lake, obviously well managed. stuffed with ide, by all accounts.
it had been warm in the few days run up to the match, so i fancied a netfull of ide.

I half fancied the peg, (15) , though the one to my left had an island. the ones to the right in this photo looked better, with a good chuck to teh island for a few pegs.

Anyhow, i still reckoned I'd get ide up in the water, so set up two rigs, one for depth and one for shallow. But i fancied waggler even more, further out in the open water. Plan was to chase em out, staring at about 5m




So the all in came, and so did the wind. strong and across from my left to right, but slighty towards me. Made presentation on pole line difficult, and getting loose feed to the preferred waggler line almost impossible.

One IDE, three tiny ones. 1lb 9oz. What a disaster.
