Fourteen of us fishing today for round two of the Godalming Summer League and it was back to Wood Lake, Busbridge. Now this venue is extremely picturesque however rumour was that the fishing had been very hard lately. The Draw Peg 24 for me today.  This peg is on the left hand bank looking from the car park at the far end of the lake. The journey with the gear on the barrow was certainly interesting!  We do carry way too much gear! Set-up The margins where screaming fish! This would be a power top two and three sections to get a good depth of around 3.5 feet depth. Two rods set-up, waggler and bomb rod.

Since moving from London I decided to join to local clubs which basically gives me most of the waters within a 30 minute radius to me.  I've fished quite a few matches with the Farnham guys, time to fish a match with Godalming Angling Society  or "GAS". The stunning Wood Lake Christmas match was in the calendar and a quick email to the Roger, the match secretary and I was on.  Roger emailed back with the latest form from the lake and also advice on what bait to fish and methods.  Thanks Roger, very welcoming email. The Draw Gathering at GAS headquarters to pick up keep net and landing nets I drew peg 31 which is on the right hand bank from the car park.  There would be 23 anglers and once we arrived at the fishery there was very little space in the car park. Set-up Arriving at the peg the water was gin clear, I was also being watched my a demon in the trees... see picture!  Post Note:  This is Cthulhu, see more about him here  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthul
