Fourteen of Dad's Army
trooped out to attack this great venue, which is full of all the species
we like catching. Ian and his wife looked after our needs, I had
already commented about the grass being cut, and how good it all looked on this
very natural looking water.
There was lots of chat
mainly about George giving Bend It some waterproofs, which alas were his good
ones, not those intended!!! Tungsten said he should have gone to
Spec Savers.
I selected the pegs to
be fished, the golden peg was 3, and we made the draw. I got peg 16, with
Kev to my left, and Simon Garbutt a couple of empty pegs away to my right (Good
to have you back Simon).
It was the five
metre line for me today, fishing caster corn and worm over the top, there was a
nice ripple on the water, and it all looked good.
I shouted the all in,
and started on the plan, feeding little but often, after an hour trying all the
baits without success, I was scratching the old wooden block; I was
getting plenty of indications, so in desperation I put a single red maggot!!
and the fish started to come, if only slowly. What do I know about
fishing??
I was happy, and when
Ian walked up behind me asking how I was doing, I told him okay. I
was bumping fish, but then I latched on to a nice lump, and into the net went a
bream at 4lbs plus, sadly it was the only one.
16-00 hours, all out,
pack up, and weigh in. I was pleasantly surprised with 19lbs 2ozs,
enough for second silvers. Tungsten was on a roll with 21lbs
6ozs. Tonto took overall with 12lbs 13ozs. It was a very good
match. Full results below.
Sunday its Trinity and next Wednesday Viaducts Match Lake.
Keep
soldiering on
