But first the business had to be completed while hot drinks were consumed with all the usual banter going on. George was full of ????? after his recent win, and Professor Kev was offering swimming lessons at a reasonable price!!! John The Brad had had a senior moment, he visited Avalon on his way to fish Sedges. After all this, and more, it was to our positions to prepare for action.
George was happy with 21. I drew 28 with Monsieur Baz on my right and Not So Simple to my left. We started fishing on the toot from Jame's match, so no confusion. From the off |I could see some lads catching, but not me; an hour went by and not one fish which was pretty sad; but I was still recovering from illness, not much of an excuse. I decided to use my time experimenting with baits and feed, and in the last 90 minutes I started catching fish; had I cracked it?? As the match progressed I could see Tungsten catching silvers and carp, Simon seemed to be going well, all was revealed after the toot.
It was time; Danny and I made for George on peg 21, who was moaning about a bad day with 11lb 12ozs of silvers and 32lbs of carp. Next it was Big Bird who had swooped on 34lbs 12ozs of silvers, which was plenty good enough for today. Martin and his faithful Flo had mustered 39lbs 12ozs but was it good enough to beat brother Tonto?
Bill the Paste got 78lbs 2ozs, but would he beat arch rival Eric the Ninja? It was then time for peg 33
the Ninja who had just three nets, one being silvers that was easy, but the next net 106lbs 12ozs was disqualified. So what had we left? his next net 77lbs 8ozs plus 4lbs 2ozs of silvers was just enough for overall.
Good turn out, good weather, good fishing, and good company In fact just another great day with Dad's Army. Full results below.
Next Wednesday we visit Shiplate Main Lake, so let's make it feel occupied.
Until then
Bob
