AVALON 1/4/2018
Today we were at Avalon fisheries so a quick stop to mac D's in street and arriving there it was great to see my mate Dave who was also fishing with us today. Dave has been fishing Avalon over the winter months and had some great bags of silvers and only last week he fished peg 11 and he had 50-60 lbs of slabs and skimmers !!! Then i told him how crap i have been fishing over the last 6 weeks and was thinking of jacking fishing in and i was hoping i would get some support from the HLS crew today. Then lord C turned up to tell us he has just got a new sponsor and they have just sent him some new gear to try out. I think the company is called OCTOPUSSY?? Never heard of them but good luck mate and i hope it helps...
Anyway we arrive at Avalon and the car park was filling up fast only to get out of my car and a fellow member said "Your on a crap run Steve" and i said " yea we all go on one now and then" only to get the best response "well if you want to sell your gear give me a shout !!!" then walks away ...thanks then !! i did smile ..
Looking at the lake it was a horrible grey colour and i said to Mike Bendle it would fish hard today and as we also had rain all day Saturday this wouldn't help ...so i paid my money to Shane and got all my kit onto the trolley
The weather today looked good with rain coming in at 4 so we should just get away with it ...The talk in the car park was that everyone wanted peg 5 and this would win easy and only a muppet would mess that that peg up ..so i was hoping i didn't draw it ...Then we had this new blue van turn up and i was thinking OMG a Preston innovations consultant was fishing with us today ..but which one Des...Andy??....I was looking with anticipation only to see Shaun getting out of his van !!! so now we have 2 tarts in the club ...
At the draw i was at the back of the line and i could see people smiling as they has some great silvers pegs especially Rob and Dave (pegs 16-17) and then the guru tart got his hands on peg 5 ...so peg 5 wouldn't win today then ....
Both Tony's got there hands on some great pegs (20 and 24) and also Eric also had a chance as peg 23 might chuck up net full ..
The golden peg today was peg 26 and was drawn by inform Danny who is hard to beat so game on !!
I drew peg 28 and when i got to my peg i had Mike Bendle on 30 and Graham on peg 27 ..i set up 2 pole rigs today 1 for 13m and 1 for 7m and also a straight bomb to fish over towards the gap ..
peg 28 (looking at tony catching all day)
I also had a pound side bet again with the "best silver angler in the club " on peg 21 and lord C (octopussy baits) on peg 3 ..i'm not going to say much about my match as it was hard for all except pegs 20 and 24 but i did catch !! i had 2 carp for 8.6 and some silvers for 3.2 ..so things at looking up ...
After 6 hours it was looking like Tony on peg 20 had 100 lbs from peg 20 and i also the jungle drums said the guru tart had a load from peg 5 ...the scales started on peg 30 and mike had 9-13 of silvers and then Danny on peg 26 went into the silvers lead with 11-0 ..Tony Fry on peg 24 had a nice days fishing with 52-1 then Tony on peg 20 had 90-5 , Rob on peg 16 had 10-4 of silvers and then Paul (paxo baits) on peg 12 had 7-8, Mike on peg 7 had 7-1 of silvers and 6-0 carp ...then onto the best peg at this complex peg 5 and with the guru tart on it i was thinking 100-150 lbs. But like i said only a muppet would mess the hottest peg at Avalon today ...anyway with 4 keepnets in the talk was on the bank was it could be 200lbs ? So the first net was put on and it went 1-14 of silvers and then the carp was loaded onto the scales man .....he looked worried ...anyway the guru tart loaded up the scales and after 4 seconds it was called out that the guru tart had 157-0 wow i was thinking as i was looking from the car park only to be told that it was 15-7. Oh is that it? I looked at Mike and he just said one word !!! muppet !
Then onto my good mate lord C (octopussy baits) and he put on 11-2 of silvers (so stopping Danny winning the golden peg by 0-2 ) and also had 18-3 of carp ....the last one to weigh in was lord c much younger brother Shane who had 1-11 of silvers and 30-5 of carp ...
so the winners are..
1st overall Tony peg 20 90-5lbs 1st silvers lord C (octopussy baits) peg 3 11-2
2nd overall Tony Fry peg 24 52-1 lbs 2nd silvers Danny peg 26 (golden peg) 11-0
3rd overall Shane peg 1 32-0 3rd silvers Rob peg 16 10-4
So a close silvers match today which was good to see ...and well done to Tony Newell who did well with a great net of carp ....well done to all the framers and a big well done to the guru tart who made me smile all the way home ...i love you Phil you tart ..
