It was the coldest
morning of the winter, the lake was frozen over, not a duck in
sight. 15 of Dads Army arrived, and we immediately started smashing
the ice and getting the pegs ready for the off, hard work but rewarding. 13 of us actually fished. The sun shone, but
expectations were not high fishwise. I drew peg 8 next to the
air-eator, which had been switched on prior to the whistle, so was ice free,
unfortunately fish free as well!! I did manage to coax out some
small roach, skimmers, and chub for 3lbs 12oz, but my bad run continues.
This has not gone unnoticed, some of the comments about age concern, and spec
savers were hurtful to my delicate feelings!!!! So I fired out a
lot of abuse and insults about their parentage and fishing ability, and felt
much better reading out the results.
Danny won overall by
just 1oz!! from Dave Tunstall with 13lbs 13ozs. Pete Cooke
won the silvers with 10lbs plus, a good weight on the day; a day when Global
Warming was history, and we were more likely to see Polar Bears and
Penguins. Well done the lads, you made another great day out of
what appeared to be a disaster.
Sunday its
Trinity, I can take a few more, followed by Landsend next
Wednesday.
Keep at it?!
PS: Blog Man is very impressed with Dad's Army..... Obviously, your wives are still kicking you out on such a cold morning!!!
