Eleven of Dad's
Army arrived at Sedges for the second of three matches here in eight
days. We were fishing Tile on a very frosty morning, with a brisk
northerly wind blowing, so we knew it would be hard going.
Denise and Jamie made
sure everything was shipshape, and supplied us with very welcome hot
drinks. I shorted the money out, while Danny did the
pegging. Peg twenty one was the Golden Peg, which was drawn by
Tonto. I drew thirty three next to Chef Pete and Tungsten; these
were the only pegs on the windy cold side, thank goodness for the old flannelette long johns!!!
I decided just one light
rig, small baits, and out as far as I could see my float. I shouted
all in, but my only thought was how warm and comfy the guys on the other
bank were looking; sheer envy.
As prophesied there were
not great weights to report, just great excitement if one got a
bite. Pete had two carp to win the overall, with 16lbs 10ozs,
and Big Bird won silvers with 5lbs 4ozs. My only consolation was
Sheriff giving me a nugget; happy days.
Next Sunday it's Sedges Brick, and Wednesday Emeralds
I hope it's getting warmer!!
