Most of the Wednesday crew were all in the car park for 8.15
ready for action on a fine morning!
Danny, George and Mike set off to peg the 2 lakes, Sapphire
and Ruby. I collected the cash before deciding we would fish 7 on each lake to make 2 separate matches.
The draw was made at 9 and everyone set off in fine spirits,
hoping with the nice weather, we would all be rewarded with a good days fishing.
I drew peg 13 { unlucky probably} with Tonto Coombs to my
left, and Graham to my right. I had the same peg as my last visit to Emerald, so with that success in mind
decided to use the same tactics; 11 metres on the pole fishing 4mm punched meat. Tonto was fishing the usual tip
method to the same small island!!Graham using the same method into open water.
All in at 10 am, and within 5 mins my float buried out of
sight. Hey ho I thought, off we go then. This continued for the next 3 hours, mostly all action and none stop .But
then things went down hill, bites came to a halt and nothing new would encourage the fish to feed.
I thing Roger must have fallen a sleep because there was
little action coming out of his swim. Graham was catching the odd carp & silvers. Eric on peg 12 had been very
quiet early on in the day, but then he came with a mighty 3 hour late
burst. Every time I looked up, around went his tip with another carp. I
couldn’t see Pete Cook hiding behind a bush on peg 16,but I knew he was catching well all day as I
kept watching his landing net entering the water.
4 o clock came around, so the all out. Danny & I
prepared for the weigh in. We decided to start in Sapphire weighing in Brian
Chivers on peg 1with 15lb 3oz. Simon Garbutt on peg 3 had a fantastic catch of
silvers with mostly quality roach weighing in the winning weight of 37lb. Mike
Bendell on peg 9 weighed a respectable 34lb 14oz.
Then on to Ruby – Bolton boy was first to weigh with 39lb
3oz.His only concern was would he take the nugget from Danny boy! He did by 4oz.Eric weighed in the winning catch
of 58lb 7oz.His late action proved to be a winner. Pete Cook weighed in a close 51lb 3oz. John Barker like Simon
weighed in a credible net of silvers to win the silver prize with 22lb 10oz.
An excellent day for everyone with a total catch of just
over 420lb. Thanks to you all for your help.
