It was cold but we had the blessing of very little wind and sunshine which was a complete contrast to the last time we fished when it blew a hoolie all day and poured with rain.
19 anglers were booked in so another good turn out all eager to get into the hat and pull a fancied peg.

Pegs 110 - 119 were protected by trees and some anglers has some sun but others were in the shade and wearing a few layers to keep warm. On the far bank though, most were in the sunshine and stripped down to T-Shirts and this proved to be the favoured side for the fish being in the warmer sunnier waters with Tony Newell on the tip and casting close to the aerator he was on them from the off but for the main fishing was slow and bites difficult to come by.

Well done to Tony Newell and Danny on winning their disciplines. Silvers weight was really poor and I think that was a combination of the previous days match, the heavy rain and cold night.
Well done to everyone for attending - surely bigger silvers weight will now be had at Shiplate next Sunday. If you haven't booked in please contact Shane or Steve Warren to book your place and keep up the good attendance.
