• BW Makins Phase 3. Outer Avon.

  The JINX Series 2005

  Match 4.

  Well Saturday saw me arrive at Makins for the 4th match in The Jinx summer series.
  
  Owing to a double booking by British Waterways we had been moved from Phase 1 Lake 2, and reports from Phase 3 didn’t bode well.
  
  

  

  As a venue it looks fine, but the water had a strange stillness to it that i couldn’t put my finger on.

  
  

  

  I drew peg 23 and Geoff E on peg 22 soon informed me that we would struggle as he was a regular at Makins.
  
  Plenty of grass growing through the platforms on most pegs rather gave the game away that it doesn’t get a lot of fishing pressure and I have to say Geoff was dead right.
  
  After 5 hours 5 fish (all carp) from 6 bites gave me 10lbs 8ozs for 11th on the day.
  
  At least I managed to win my section by default, giving me a brown envelope to cover my costs, my 3rd pick up of the 4 matches so far. 
  
  Next comes Clattercote Reservoir in 2 weeks time.
