Today we were fishing
Emeralds Ruby Lake and thirteen of Dad's Army were on parade. George
and I turned out early, selected the pegs to be fished, and put the scales in
position. It was then time to get on with business, collect
the money, and sort out the pools and fishery money.
At the draw the golden
peg was 8 and Shaun got lucky. I got peg 14 and resigned myself to
a struggle. Sheriff and I were here last time we fished, without
much success; but the sun was shining, it was warm, and there was
plenty of banter around the lake, it was all good.
I shouted all in, and
within a minute Tonto had his first carp. I was not surprised the fish were
everywhere and near the surface. I wanted to avoid scaleys so
you can guess what my first fish was. On the plus
side you can always guarantee there will be lots of bites and good
sport here.
An hour from the
end I got a visit from Bend It. He sat down for a chat, but then the naughty
lad started plopping stones into my landing net and groundbait, he just can't
behave!
At four o'clock it was
all out. At the weigh in the weights were good, Ninja came out top
overall with 84lbs 10zs. Tonto did well with 65lbs Shaun made
a good job of the Golden Peg with 14lbs 13ozs of crucians, and got the loot.
It's time for all you
chaps who want to fish the Away Day to give me your names along with a
fiver PLEASE.
On Sunday it's Landsend, and next Wednesday Avalon. There's room on both so
don't be SHY.
