Todays visit was to Trinity Waters on Woodlands Lake. The report from some who fished the day prior said it was difficult as the fish were heavily spawning and from my walk around the lake they weren't holding back ad were really at it.
A great turn out today even with the forecast being overcast, a bit showery with windy gust with 22 signing in. It was nice to see Chairman Kev again even if he didn't bring his arm bands, although he did have his shorts on and the water was warm in case he wanted another dip throughout the day.
The guru tart arrived for moral support but he was not fishing as he hurt his back when apparently he dropped his wallet to the ground and on picking it up he underestimated how heavy it weight which is some what surprising as over previous weeks with the breakages and lost rigs he's had the heaviest wallet in Bridgwater should be Steve Kedge's
The Golden peg was drawn and this week it was nos 9 - a good carp peg. peg 6 was favoured as this has been producing fine results over the previous weeks.
The draw was as follows
2 - Tony Fry
6 - Locky
7 - Me
8 - Tungsten Dave
9 - Big Nick
10 - Sausage
11 - Dick
12 - Queenie
13 - Kev
14 - John Wolenscroft
17 - Colin
18 - Eric
23 - Graham
24 - John B
25 - Danny
26 - Lord C
27 - Roger
28 - Steve Warren
29 - Dave Allen
30 - Sharp shopper Shane
31 - Tax Man
32 - Mutant George
Today I had Locky to my right in 6 and Tungsten Dave to my left. Now when ever Im drawn next to Dave he generally does well so this was a good omen for him. I personally wanted peg 10 or 26 today and knew Id be up against it when I drew 7.
The all in was shouted and I balled in a pot of micros at 11m and thought id try paste from the off. After 3 hours on a couple of line I hadn't had a single bite and I could see around the lake that lots were struggling, Dave had a small skimmer and Locky had a carp in the margins. I then decided to look over my 5m line and finally had a bit and netted a mirror to about 7lb. There were signs of feeding fish but it never really took off as I lost 3 others and landed 1 4lb common in the margins. Locky had a few but he had lost at least 10 over the course of the day, Big Nick was netting quite a few but also lost some. Steve Warren hooked a chunky fish then the dread snap of carbon was heard, but to his credit he managed to land it. Dave Allen who was opposite me was starting to catch and he also had a few lumps going into the net
About 2.30 - 3.00pm the unusual sign of Danny packing up early just goes to show how difficult it had become but you could see George smiling at the thought of that golden nugget coming into his dirty little mitts.
The all out was shouted and the results as follows
Overall
1st - John Wolenscroft - 90lb - 00oz
2nd - Dave Allen - 53lb - 06oz
3rd - Steve Warren - 45lb - 09oz
Silvers
1st - Lord C - 11lb - 13oz
2nd - Paul Bowyer 10lb - 15oz
3rd - George 10lb - 11oz
So once again Dave Alllen in the frame but a fine day for John taking the honours. On the silvers front that 2 first in 2 weeks for Martin
Well done to all those who attended this week
Next week we are at Avalon Fisheries, can Lord C make it 3 in 3 or will Danny be re-motivated to knock him off his perch, will George find his early season form, will Dave Allen be in the frame again or will Queenie find some form, tune in next week for the results.
