HLS Angling Dad's Army Wednesday 18th July Avalon

Dad's Army arrived good and early for a skirmish at Avalon.   Pegs 1 to 23 to be used today.   I arrived early, so it was gear out and paperwork ready to receive the money from the heros?   There were fourteen of us fishing today.

Ron was not there, so I selected the pegs to be fished, putting in what were the best swims on our last visit   All the business was completed and it was time for the draw.   Ninja had his usual flyer, end peg 22, with Bend It 21, Tivi 20 and The Brad on 19.  I thought they would be hard to beat.   Boy George got the Golden Peg 13, and he was actually smiling!! or was it flatulence, we will never know.   There were two left in the hat, The Sheriff got 5, and was moaning, that left 12 for myself, next the that windy critter George, with The Professor to my right.

George reckoned he was using banded pellet today, but Kev said every time his lips move an untruth comes out.   Judging be the size of fish he was catching Kev was right.

Corn with meat as reserve was my bait today.  I started at nine metres, and back closer if possible.  The first hour and half on corn with not a bite, so I tried the meat, and was rewarded  with two skimmers, I went back to corn and had a nice bream.   After another long wait, I was catching the occasional fish, finishing off with a great looking golden tench of about three pounds.

I did not have many fish, but there was nothing under a pound for a total of 30lbs 11ozs of silvers.  Vic arrived to weigh us in and we started with that CRAP catching machine Ninja. who had a winning total of 142lbs 6ozs of said CARP.   Bend It DNW? on peg 21.   Tivi had 28lbs of carp, and The Brad 8lbs 4ozs of silvers.   Big Bird just edged WO2 Bill with 45lbs7ozs to 44lbs10ozs respectively.

Boy George who put in a second silvers net had 11lbs8ozs, just playing the old soldier.    Kev got a respectable 33lbs10ozs, with Tonto coming second overall with 84lbs7ozs.   The Nasty Old Sheriff had 18lbs 6ozs for second silvers,  we finished with Balcock 23lbs 4ozs.

                  Another great day's fishing with my mates, and our thanks to Vic for a fishery in
                                  excellent condition.

                     Next Wednesday it's Trinity Woodlands.   Will anyone stop the Ninja!!
