Mark Woolley On 24 Hours

Team Diem - Mark Woolley

I fished on a local club water with two of my friends Gareth and Chris. Although we were just getting together for a social and catch up, we decided to fish a friendly match between the three of us. 

With pressure high we all decided to initially spod over zigs, with the intention of fishing bottom baits over the spot at night should we feel the need. After a few hours of spodding over zigs we were yet to manage a capture, however on the far bank there had been a few fish out on boilies. 

I quickly switched a rod to a snowman set up, with a CC Moore helrasor critical edge which I'd pre soaked in almond goo. This turned the white pop ups a bright pink colour. I fished a CC Moore livesystem 15mm bait to complete the snowman and both baits balanced a size 6 Korda Krank hook. I fished a 7 inch rig made from N-Trap soft. This would ensure that my balanced snowman hook-baits would always kick away from the lead set up, which was the new Korda COG lead system. 

As night drew in I decided to fish both of my rods on the bottom and over the spot that I'd been spodding over the zigs. I spombed out some livesystem boilies and I was set for the night. 

During the night Chris managed two carp and a few bream, Gareth was still yet to catch but I had managed four carp to 17lb 14oz. It was a very cold night with the mat freezing over at one point and I didn't want to wake Gareth and Chris for photos. So I only managed a trophy shot of my first capture, a 13lb scaly mirror. 

The following morning Gareth recast a zig with the mornings sun in full blaze, and after a number of spods of slop over the top he'd earnt his first capture of the session.
