Mepal Block Fen A
Sunday 5th August 2007
On probably the hottest Sunday of the year you would wonder
whether the fish in Block Fen would fancy basking at the top of the
water... and that's what they appeared to do as a whopping 46 pounds won
this penultimate summer season match under the guiding hand of Craig
Rayner.
At more than double the other catches it was definitely
Craig's lucky day landing such a haul of Carp as, once, again he
demonstrated the importance of practice in working out a waggler attack
high up in the water at distance catching 8 carp and a bream for a
magnificent catch on this natural stock water.
Ray and Liam battled it out catching two carp each with
Rays just shading it. I don't know what Ian caught as he is very
secretive. Just to be different I caught all my fish on the waggler but
they were only up to 5oz. Roach Rudd and Perch, I lost three big
Carp but so did most people. Its all getting a bit serious even
though it looks like Craig has rapped up the summer series. Still at least
I was not away with the fairies unlike my last match.
