Hello, here goes and the long awaited 2nd round in the classic feeder.

The round was held on the Mandra Reservoir to Burgas, this time the fishing conditions were perfect - a pleasant September sun and here there is a cloud. And this year, too. Mandra did not betray tradition and offered a radically different fishing compared to the previous year. The basic kilograms were made from crucian carp of sizes from 30 to 100 gr and the crucian carp of slightly larger sizes. Between them were tiny roach and bleak and very rare bonus fish - fat, fat crucian carp and some of the big bream. The brians were random and single pieces - so their targeted fishing was dropped.

Thursday we fall to train in the 10th Box, agreeing to try different recipes foods and distances and to finalize things for Friday. The training ends with results from 4 to 6.5 kg and with a good vision for the next day.

Friday by draw we train in 3rd Box, end of A sector, start of B. We agreed to hunt around 9/10th meter depending on where the bottom is more favorable - stones, mussels and all sorts of other beauties. We had already settled on only one meal and had to work out a few details like leaders and the right baskets. Closed plastic feeders proved to be a good fit, as did the window feeders. The 50/55 cm. length leaders worked well The training ended with results from 5 to 10 kg, which was great.

Saturday, 1st cuff. I fall for B4, in the company of Ahmed Ahmedov of Veda and Gogou The Bubolei - this fierce doctor with a specific grip on the rod. The 1st hour fishing is tough, but as the manche progresses I collect the fish and catch them at a good pace. Swearing is picky, they want a wait for the right moment and full concentration. I managed to win the sector with 7.560 kg, and team in the standings we are 4th. In the evening we did a detailed debriefing, tied the rods and tied again on 30/40 hooks, as the mussels are very graze.

Sunday, 2nd cuff - I fall on D2. On the left, heavy competition - Kalin Stoyanov Koki, on the right, Christian from "Gorna Oryahovitsa". Fishing started with small fish that are extremely brash and I manage to avoid them with 40 gr Window to fail mega fast and a little heavier hook. As the manche grew bigger and the little guy disappeared, I went back to 30 g of window and the fishing started at a serious pace, and I have to seriously give gas that I was behind Ludi and Cocker. I managed to get the fish on and raise the stables, and the last hour was - who, who - a fish-for-fish fight. To my delight, I was able to take the sector again with 7.650 kg.

I ranked 2nd in the Individual with 2 rt and catch by 15.210 kg. First is Yuri with a little more kg and equal points, and third is my teammate Ilya Slavov.

Team finished in 3rd position after Vidrax and MF Tuckle, and for the 3rd consecutive year we are in the Mandra Cups. We are satisfied with the result and the work done.

In the General standings for the season I hold for the moment the 1st place with 4 Nt of 4 mancha, and team climbed to 3rd place, the hardest yet to come and nothing is yet certain. The battle of the 3rd round will be very serious.

A little about tackles:

My primary choice fell on Daiwa Tournament-S Feeder 3.00 and 3.30 m in combination with Daiwa 24 Nzon 5000 reel - The ease and agility of this combination are simply unique, literally nothing is felt in the hands, and the size of the fish was perfect for this sfl. The peaks were 0.5 and 0.75 ez Megatop, especially 0.5oz was an incredibly sensitive tip and was perfect for the situation. The main was braided line Daiwa Tournament Sinking Braid 0.12mm with ready gum rig 15 cm/4 kg test. For the leaders I have chosen Daiwa Tournament Fluorocarbon 0.117mm, a hook Maver Katana 1090 No 16. I had also taken out Daiwa Airity X Slim 3.30m with TDR 3012, But I used them very, very rarely. Short Super Spod on Daiwa - 3.00m also did a great job powering up without harassing my feeder rods.

Greetings to all colleagues and prizewinners for a durable battle these days. RESPECT to all for the labor, we will see each other again on the 3rd round.
