Saturday 19th September 2016 was Team MAS (Midlands Angling Supplies) Product Day Out in alliance with Greenhill’s AC Thurlaston Lake and Moat.
Day started out with Buffet Breakfast at the local Toby Carvery at Enderby before heading off to the venue. Previous overnight rain and cloudy conditions presented the anglers with decisions to make on which lake to fish, as it went anglers set up on both lakes with plenty of opportunity to try out others pegs and talk best options and learn new skills on the day.
Mark Footitt decided to fish the carp lake with paste 1 side at 5M whilst later in the session Groundbait with corn/Dead Maggot down margin.
John Kilby and myself decided to fish the moat lake which is around 13M wide full of Roach, Perch, Rudd, Tench and Chub with the latter 2 not showing on the day.
Weight on day: Mark Caught Carp weighed over 120LB with best fish being 12Lb, all 3 anglers caught in turns using paste using a Sensas 524 Car Pole fitted with a puller bung to a 14 Hook and a self-cocking float using a range of baits for the Sensas Crazy Bait range to make paste and feed. Killer Krill being used as feed Groundbait with IM5 best used as paste for hook.
For John and Myself nets of over 14Lb of silvers including stamp Roach and Rudd backs up with Perch soon quickly amassed a net using Sensas Black Lake and Super Black Gardons
For myself a Sensas 974 Nanoflex pole to 13M was utilised, whist John used a Sensas 934 Nanoflex Pole also to 13M, Sensas Match Puller kits / Side pullers incorporated Sensas Competition and Crazy Hollow Elastic in sizes 4-6, 6-8, and elastic’s from the J range.
Line used on all rigs was Sensas Feeling in sizes 0.16 to 0.14 hook length for Carp with 14 hooks and 0.12 to 0.10/0.08 for silvers coupled to 22/20 hooks
