Carol and Steve gave us their usual warm welcome, and while we sorted out the pegs to be fished, the lads drank tea and coffee. Did they all think they were in the NAAFI?
The business was completed and it was time for the draw. Peg 15 was the flyer, and it went to Tonto who muttered something about a long walk. Boy George got his favourite peg 13, and I got 12A. Job completed, and it was off to set up the gear ready for action.
Monsieur Baz was on my left, with Mustard to my right, and I could see most of the lads on the other bank. I decided to fish for roach today at five sections with maggot and pinkie on the hook, over a little ground bait containing squats and caster. I had about four feet of water, and used a 0.4 float evenly slotted down the line.
At the all in there were plenty of small roach to be had, that was if one could keep them on the hook. I knew Baz was having the same problem, but everyone seemed to be catching. The carp boys were having a tough time; it promised to be an interesting weigh in.
Time passes quickly when one is enjoying the day, and the all out came to soon. The Nasty Old Sheriff started the weigh on peg 15, the flyer, but Tonto DNW? He must have been asleep longer than usual. Not so Simple Simon on peg 14B, which was the Golden Peg, was looking good with a total of 57lbs 1oz George on silvers favourite peg 13 weighed 6lbs 10ozs , must do better came to mind. Baz and I had a busy day, but Danny on peg 11 weighed 16lbs 4ozs and won the silvers. Bill the Paste had 35lbs 3ozs which was second overall, and Tungsten Dave with 13lbs 11ozs was second silvers.
Simon won, plus the Golden Peg, well done that man. Today fourteen entered and fourteen fished, which is how it should be.
I would like us all to spare a thought for those members who have health problems, wishing them better times ahead.
Next Wednesday it's Viaducts Campbell, which is just a Winter venue for Dad's Army, so let's make the best of it.
