Pete was cooking bacon and making hot drinks while giving is usual misleading advice to anyone foolish enough to listen. I collected the dosh and chose the pegs to be fished, the Golden Peg was eleven. It was a bit noisy today, maybe because we were graced with the presence of the Shakespearean Bummer Boy, whose reputation goes before him!!! Welcome back Phil good to see you.
Onto the draw; the Wizard got lucky eleven. I got a very windy end peg seven, with Tonto to my left. All in and let's see what happens I didn't feed too much, and fished as light as possible with pinkie and maggot as hook bait. For Tonto and myself it was very slow. After three hours, with just a few bits in the net, I took a walk around the lake. Most seem to be struggling, but when I got to Bill the Paste he gave me some local knowledge about my peg. When I started again what a difference that made, four vermin and some silvers!! If only I had known from the start.
At all out time The Nasty Old Sheriff and I started the weigh at peg seven. I got 14lbs 11ozs, Roger 23lbs 4ozs, and Brian, who failed with just one carp, and not even his usual one silver!! They won't be singing in the Valleys today. Next it was Tungsten 8lbs 10ozs, and then the course specialist Bill who gave us all a hammering with 70lbs 6ozs . Geoff, our guest plus his dog, won silvers with 5lbs 7ozs? Phil 11lbs 13os, Danny 29lbs 15ozs, Ninja had 26lbs 8oz, and finally George, who with 37lbs got second overall.
Well done everyone, you don't have to catch tons of fish to have a great day out with your mates, as today proved.
Next Wednesday it's Sedges fishing Tile, Another great venue, so get off your butts and let's get on with it
Bob
