There were sixteen
squaddies on parade today; Dad's Army showing its strength, but with
not to much flexing of muscles. Our cavalry section turned up on
their worthy steeds. i.e two motorized bikes.
Jamie sorted the pegs,
I took the money and paid the dues. The Golden Peg today
is 14, which was drawn by Monkey, but will he do the business?? The draw
completed, so it was off to our positions to make ready for the assault.
It was a grey day weather wise, with a strong gusty wind blowing straight down the
lake. I drew peg 5 with Spod Coombes to my left, and Tungsten on my
right. The Chef Pete Cooke drew peg 11; so would he serve up
the fish?
At the off it was 13
metres straight out, and I caught some skimmers with maggot and caster the
bait. Surprise Surprise!! in the first hour I had more fish than I
usually catch all match, but the wind was defeating me, and it went downhill,
ending up with 14lbs 8ozs, but not bad.
Across the lake the
nasty old Sheriff caught at the start, then had a quiet spell, but his fish
returned, and he ended up with 32lbs of hard earned silvers, beating Monkey
into second place with 22lbs 12ozs. Pete wtih 111lbs got second
overall, he was beaten by Simon, not so simple, with 141lbs 4ozs.
It was a very good match
with plenty of fish caught. It was a pity about the wind, otherwise
I'm sure the weights would have been higher overall.
Sunday it's Avalon, and next Wednesday Emeralds.
You know what to do!!! ding ding.
