We fished at Sedges
today and twenty lads' arrived for a full lake. Everyone wanted to
draw a high number in order to have the strong wind on their backs.
Treasure had a break
today, so I had to do the business while the others had hot drinks and saw to
their gear.
At the draw George drew
27, which was the Golden Peg, with Sheriff on 28, and myself on 26;
we were fishing into a strong wind which, after two hours, was
accompanied by steady rain; not great. I decided not to struggle
with the long pole, just five sections, hoping they would come to my
feed.
The Horny Hedgehog
tooted and we got underway. Straight away George was giving me a
running commentary about how the Sheriff was catching hundred weights of fish,
and how far behind he was!! I was catching with my chosen method,
and in the first to hours it looked good, but then my fish backed off; I was
not prepared to follow them due to the conditions; I must be getting soft in
my dotage.
Jamie was weighing
us in and I was doing the board. On our side of the lake the
weight's were not good , but got better as we moved up. All the top
overall weight's
came from the high
numbers, with Pete the Chef cooking up another great catch to win with 144lbs
10ozs. Sausage got second with 75lbs 10ozs, and Shane was
third with 48lbs 8ozs. Nasty OLD Sheriff won silvers with 19lbs
2ozs, not quite the hundredwieghts as suggested by someone?
Well done everyone on
such a miserable day weather wise. It must get warmer
please!!!
Wednesday it's Avalon, and next Sunday Summerhayes. I can take more on
both venues. I answer all calls, so get on with it.
