well well well.. a venue that produced 130lb plus bags a week ago and 80lb nets just 2 days ago felt the wrath of the cashmore's curse. Was happy with my draw altho tommy cooper's margin swim was feeding my keepnet. happy-ish in the end coming 5th, altho losing 9 fish(5 foul hookers) and breaking 6th section of pole was not so good.
1st- john rowlands 24lb- he's stringing us all along
2nd- zorro -22lb- caught steadily on pellet
3rd- cotty 20lb--all on bread punch allegedly
4th ha ha- 18lb odd- a real massive' beastie in his net
5th -yamo- 16lb-pellet n corn
other weights off top of my head
mr v 3lb odd
tk- 6lb odd
wedge 11lb
mgb 10lb
heinzer 5lb odd
kod 7lb ( out of jail)
silvers werent feeding at all today. . . the curse well and truly struck. To make things worse it was the knock out too.
moment of the day for me was mick kenn's beastie fish that went thru 4 angler's line. ill let tk explain

CASHMORES CURSE- WOODCOTE HALL -MATCH
Well, what a differsnce 3 days makes 
I walked round the lake on Wednesday and there was a Goodyear match on there. Sat with the bloke on the peg I drew yesterday and picked his brains. He was catching steady feeding pellet and fishing small cubes of meat or corn on the deck. Said he couldnt buy a bite shallow.
So I set up similar gear and.........3.5 hours later, not a bite
Had set a waggler rod up, and been firing a few pieces of meat and corn past the pole line. I gave it a go for 10 minutes, and hooked a carp which I netted safely. Another 20 mins brought no more action, so started ladling handfulls of corn into the right margin, and handfuls of meat and hemp into the left margin.
15 minutes to go, I hooked another carp to my left margin, but the hook pulled at the net.
5 minutes form time, missed a bite. Whistle blows, deep joy. 3lb 4oz weighed. Never fished for 5 hours before with only 3 bites to show for it
Well done Roly, who stuffed me good and proper off the next peg

Was it the "Goodyears" that I fish with Paul ? If so I will ask them how they did.
Your right, different day means everything is different. Fishing is never predictable is it

As the Chocky Monster said, 15s probably the most it can take for 'decent weights'
That's the 'headache' of having a 'successful' club - we usually average 20 per match but we've had 25 turn out for the last 2 matches.
As for myself I set my stall out for 2 fish an hour which I didn't think was 'unreasonable'. No maggots etc graced my bait tray, primarily I based my attack (LOL if thats the right word!!!) on pellet and corn with meat as a change hook bait.
Instead of 2 fish an hour over the 5 hours I ended up with a bite an hour and 2 fish only - one on pole and pellet and one on first chuck (within 5 secs - must have put it on his nose) on the wag with corn.
As I moaned during the day, that aint my idea of fishing - I'd prefer to catch 2lb gudgeon anyday.
Anyway if I don't return to my canal roots fulltime given the anticipation of further curse matches on these carp puddles, next time I grace Woodcotes banks I'm fishing slop, squatt, pinkie and caster - I'd enjoy catching 3lb roach more than weighing in 2 carp for 6lb12.
Anyway the Zorro bandwagon rolls on.............megga points scored again for the MA leaderboard
