4th bye the riddings, crucian pool. 28/06/14

well the matches are coming quick and fast now and yesterday we fished the clubs 4th bye match at the riddings fishery near atherstone. it was an overcast day but quite warm so things looked good. i drew peg 6 with gordon and tony either side of me, john snr drew the golden peg on the other side from us.i couldn't see tony but sure could hear him he was in to a fish first cast. took me about twenty minutes to catch my first fish a nice mirror of about 8 lbs. i caught another one next cast about the same size while tony kept reeling em in on the other side of the bullrushes.i was casting to the middle of the lake and having a bite a cast but couldn't hit the fish   i started fishing about 2 rod length's out and started to hit the big buggers   and tony just kept reeling em in    
for the last 2 hours it was carp a cast, and tony just kept reeling em in!   
i new i had a very good weight but tony just kept reeling em in !   
i new exactly what was going to happen and i was right cuz tony bloody kibble just kept reeling em in !
