Karls Grav 10-hours, pair match

After a quick discussion with Mattias, two days before the match, we agreed to go for an "unswedish" tactic "bleaks". I had some concerns, but....

Started the match throwing out 20 balls at 22-23 m, a mix of Browning Canal, M7, Terre de Somme, about 300 gr jokers and a handful of casters, to have some sort of backup if the bleak fishing failed.

No worry, the bleaks was in place and I started to catch immediately using a 2, 5 m whip, float 4x12, line 0,10, hook size 20 with a red pinkie.

However, when putting 10-12 gram in the net at a time, you know it’s a long way to go…….

After about two hours it started to slow down and I realized that I was now sitting in the shade and that the bleaks moved from the shady area. Fortunately Mattias caught very well, still sitting in the sun.

Tried, with feeder for a while but caught only one small bream and one silver bream.

After a quick discussion with Mattias, we agreed to proceed with the original plan, although I only caught occasional bleaks.

To make a long story short: The sun came back, Mattias did a fantastic match and caught more than 1400 bleaks, I ended up with 825 which gave us a total weight just over 28 kg. Four kg more than Alingsås SFK at second place.

Fun? –Well, we won...

Tight Lines!
