There was a full section
of eleven Dad's Army on parade this morning, and after my inspection they
were passed fit for duty.
I approached Kev, and
returned the half of his gear he had left behind at the last
match!! He then informed me he had left his money at home, and could
I sub him until next week? I have informed "AGE CONCERN"
George turned up early,
so we went pegging the swims to be fished; sorry Sheriff but George selected
them. I then got on with the business, which is not difficult on a
Wednesday; this completed we got on with the draw. The
wizard got the Golden Peg number 9, and with two left in the hat Danny was
muttering he didn't want 4 so he drew 6, which I thought was the worst on the
lake, and so it turned out to be, it was the only DNW.
I got 4 and was
quite happy with the Chef to my left, and my investment Kev on my right , so I
was in good company. Pete and I were sat with no sun and
plenty of scum on the water, which brought a lot of comments from some of our
friends?? They were not too kind either.
My day started busily
with two chucks for two small carp. I had a really enjoyable day's
fishing for 29lbs 3ozs.
Half an hour in, and
Alan's apprentice, his grandson, approached and I paid our dues. I
reckon, with Alan's training, he wil be a shrewd lad to deal with.
This match was another
total success. A bunch of lads who all like to fish and have a craic with
their mates.
On Sunday we return to Emeralds, and next
Wednesday it's
Shiplate Hawthorns. I am restricted to 15 on this popular venue.
So get on with it!!
