When i woke up i looked out of the window half expecting to
see a hard frost .. it looked ok but cold !!
I Loaded the car, made a flask, and made my way to mac Ds in
Street for breakfast (landsend café was closed today which was a shame as
it the best breakfast in Somerset) ...
We got to the fishery early to find that only 15 were booked
in so all on one lake ..had a walk to see what pegs to use and the first thing
that we noticed was the cold wind ...so it was going to be another hard
day !!!
Me and Lord C had a look at the lake and one half was flat
calm (6-12,13-18))and the other was choppy (1-5,19-24) ..peg 15 was looking
good as it was fizzing like mad... so this looked like the peg to have!!! Also
peg 13 looked like a winner ..
Paid my money, and i got my pound from last week from the
guru tart!!! Collected the golden peg money and put my hand in the bucket of
dreams ...peg 17 looking at me ...happy with that .
Peg 17
The golden pegs were pegs 8, 19
Golden pegs went to Tony on 8 and Mr consistent on 19, I was
thinking the golden peg might go as Danny is very hard to beat on the
silvers.....
I got to my peg to find Bolton’s finest on 16 and sausage on
18 so a nice quiet day, then the guru tart turned up on 15 “bang go’s my
peaceful day” !!!!!!
Thinking that 15, 16, 18 &19 were going for silvers it would
be carp for me ...
I set up a rig to fish at the bottom of the far ledge, a rig
to fish on the shelf (never used) and a rig to fish in the track, i didn’t
bother with a margin rig as i could see the bottom. Bait wise i had maggots and
micros and 6mm meat and some 4mm expanders and corn .
Went for a walk and found Bob with his new ground bait in a
can!!!
Only to find on my return that my rigs had been messed with !!! i do
mark my pole sections Phil, Paul.....very funny.... well it made me laugh, so i
re plumbed just to check
On the “all in” i went straight over to the 14.5 m line with
a single piece of 6 mm meat on the hook and toss potted in 3 cubes and had a
carp with in 5 seconds...with that one in the keepnet i did the same again ,5
minutes later his mate was in the net with him , them number 3,4,5 then i
hooked and lost a big carp .....so with a hour gone i had 30lbs but lost a big
carp!! But happy .... looking around it looked like the silver boys were
finding it a tough day but Mr consistent on 19 had a few better skim bobs ,
Bolton George on 16 was trying to catch white bait and sausage was also
struggling !!!
Back out on the 14.5m line 6mm on the hook and 3 pieces of
meat in the toss pot and repeated the process and it just sat there .....half
an hour later and still no bites.. moved 1.5m to the right and started a new
line “no bites there” then moved 1.5m to the left and also had no bite
here ..um time for the track line ..thinking that i would get a few on
the micro and expander but i never had a bite .
By now Danny on 19 was get a few silvers but the “guru tart”
had 2 good skimmers ,i was thinking that Danny was a sure bet to win the
golden peg from what i could see ..
I went 2.5 hours without a bite from all lines and then out
of the blue a good perch and better skimmer on the long line .. and then
the “Tart” on 15 had another good skimmer and i was still thinking Danny was
winning the silvers see but it would be close..
The last 20 minutes Bolton George started to get a few bites
next door and the “Tart” had another skimmer i then had 2 carp in 2
put-ins and then the whistle went ...i packed up and went to help with
the scales, Lord C on peg 22 said he had a few carp and Pete on peg 24 also had
5 or 6 ...we started on peg 1 ....Bob was winning the right had side of the
lake on peg 11 and then Mr spurs went into the lead on peg 13 ..then “Guru” put
on 8-4 of silvers to go into the lead on the silvers ...
”please do not let him win ...”
Bolton George put on 4-14 of white bait on peg 16, i
put on 48-4 to go into the lead and then it was Danny on peg 19 and the G/P and
i was sure he had more than “guru” ...But no Danny had 7-9 .....so the
G/P was safe but the “guru tart” had won the silvers ......then “Lord C” on peg
22 had 32-8 for 2nd overall and Pete had 28-15 3rd
So Mr guru had won the silvers ...omg!!!!”
Phil do the lottery mate ..dreams do come true!!!!” Danny
was 2nd (well done mate) i was lucky to win overall and
Lord C was second (Martin, Vic. Bush needs your number!!!....you the man)
So it was a hard day and winter is here but another close
match which is good
Thanks to landsend.. and all that helped ,next week is
Summerhayes .
Please book in with Phil...
And as Phil has picked up he is offering a free car wash to
any one who lives in Bridgwater ........god you got to love him!!!!
Have a good one
