This weeks match was at the very populatr and immaculate Shiplate fishery. Recent results had shown som really great weights. Infact our very own George Fletcher held the record of some 80+ lbs but it was beaten twice in recent weeks which is probably why George was going around like a bear with a sore head.
21 members booked in this week which again is a fabulous turn out and the committee are sorry that we can not accomadate every one every week.
On arrival at 7.55am the place was packed and I had to go into the overflow carpark where fellow anglers the Guru Tat and the Silver Fox were discussing today tactics. I dont know what I did wrong but the Tart was full of his normal self and gave me abuse from the minute I got out of the van, it may have been the abuse I gave over his lack of catching skills last week and the abuse he received on the draw.
The draw was done via zoom again which is actually quite good fun and this week were supported by Mr + Mrs Beards. Phil was showing off his new rod that he was to use ths week. Stronger than his other rod so watch out those bigger branches he will be pulling trees. He also showed us his pack of Guru floats that he had so called won; however I have been informed that for every McDonalds Happy Meal you purchase you get a set of Guru Floats free.

15 - Colin Lambert
So some interesting draws with pegs 4-7 prodcing some good silvers weight. Peg 1 always consisitent, peg 2 produced 220lb in the week. The main Interest was along the far bank, with Super Dave on 11, George Bob and Danny in consecutive pegs to decide who is the top dog when it comes to silvers. Rich Coles who has been on very good form of late had a poor draw and Im sure he wouldnt want peg 9a. You can never write off Mario as on that side of the lake tha carp come later in the day.

Well done to Tony Newell on overall win.He is my nemises, most of the time when Ive come second, Its Tony that has pipped me, but thats what you get from a class angler. Lord C was back in form after a few porr performances of late and Steve Warren who didnt frame this week but was pipped by 1lb by Martin.
However the main event was the silvers, and the person who came out victorious today was Bob with a fantatstic 51lb.
George Fletcher put in a complaint that Bob set up1 rig and fished corn all day whilst George looking at recent results and gaining inside information filled his tray with every possible bait and set up 4 rigs but still couldnt get them going. So a bad week fo George who doesnt take much to get him moaning, Lost his lake record, beaten by Bob, and yet another £1 to Danny.
Well done to all the framers, next week the match is at Avalon and as per normal please phone Steve to try and reserve a place.
