Twenty two members of the
Hook Line and Sinker fishing club arrived at Summerhayes to fish Longs Lake,
which looked in good nick. The wind was still from the north, but
we were promised sunshine, so hoped the fish would come out to play.
Treasure was doing the
collecting and dispensing of the coin of the realm, and Horny Hedgehog was
doing the draw, assisted by the Nasty Sheriff, the Golden Pegs were 8 and 29.
The business done, so it
was off to our positions to prepare for the challenge to come. I drew peg
29 with Merlin to my left and Tony Newell on my right. I
wanted to fish caster today with maggot in reserve.
Horny tooted and we got
underway First chuck the float dipped but no fish! and that was how
my day continued. It was not all doom and gloom, others were
catching on what turned out to be a warm and sunny day.
At
the weigh in that Nasty Old Sheriff won the silvers, with 11lbs 15ozs, and
Merlin got overall with 66lbs 13ozs. There is a special mention for
"Man With No Name" who took third overall by default; well done mate.
Wednesday
it's Viaducts Match Lake which is full. Next Sunday it's Shiplate,
which is limited to maximum number 22.
