2023 - April 29/30th METMASK Arboga classic

Arboga is the great starter for the Swedish season and it never fails to produce the goods , well for most but not for some  (cough-cough) 

Saturday Day 1 


Friday night Jamie completed a live draw for the following days pegging and my reward was Peg 15














During the set up process friend from long ago , Paolo Assi turned up to my surprise and we spent the next  30 minutes talking times from the past . He might return to the fishing fold ?



















Well the match started after the initial bombardment of 6 balls on the pole line with 10+15gr flat floats . Then a few casts as 26 turns to place some initial feed on that feeder line .

First hour for me was rock hard with just two Ruffe yet Russ to my left and Jamie to my right were connecting with nice skimmers and Bjorknas !!!!! WTF was i doing wrong ? I started to ease of the chop worm in the window feeder and just pack it hard with a few casters and two small worms on the hook .............after 2 hours still nothing ! ...........3 hours nothing ...........now i was worried as tried everything , i am not a bad angler but what has happened ? 4th hour a Roach and a Rudd surrendered to me and that was it !!! ...........i was beside myself as tried everything .......... what a nightmare !!!

Thanks you good night and 450 grams !! 

I was not in the best of moods and i went on the weigh in to the first two sections and their results were rather much better than mine !!
