A dozen good men were on parade for Dad's Army
on a lovely warm day, with very little wind; ideal
conditions. Jamie selected the pegs, and Denise picked the
golden peg number 37, which was worth a few bob.
All the business completed and it was time
for the most important part of the match, sticky fingers into the draw
bag!!!. It was the worst scenario, Robot Duck got the Golden
Peg 37, and I drew the corner peg 21, which is traditionally an out and out
carp peg, but never mind we will do our best.
I particularly like this time of the year. the
trees and rushes are fully grown giving everyone their own private space with
no distractions.
Treasure is on my left, he's a carp man so I had
a lot of water to myself. At 10 o'clock I shouted all in, and
started with a cup of my ground bait mix; the chosen line was nine metres,
there were lots of bubbles at that distance, but what species were making
them?? A couple of minutes passed then the float moved and I had my first
skimmer about 1lb. I was using corn which is my favorite bait for bream,
especially at this venue. I was then in for a lovely surprise. all
through the match those slimies I like to catch turned up at regular intervals,
resulting in 40lbs of silvers, which was enough to win silvers. My
only scaley weighed around 9lbs, which I gently returned to the water.
As usual at Sedges everyone caught plenty of
fish, and had a good day. Thank you Jamie.
That wiley quacker Robot Duck won overall and
the Golden Peg, just beating Wee Dram Willie. The full
results are below.
Sunday it's Shiplate Main and next Wednesday Trinity Woodlands.
Keep it tight
