 26.09.21 Hawthorne 

Managed to get on this one as one of the guys cancelled, after booking in with Shane I fancied it tbf. 

I flew a Pm to Dave White for some tips, he put me right - so all good. 

Turning up I could see a few of the lads well if the devil could cast his net & all that they’d be caught, Matrix Tony Kingy, oh & my favourite little chap WESTY - long story short Westy blew out again with a superb DNW 🤣🤣🤣👍🎣

On to the draw & Matrix drew for Kingy Peg 15 WHAT 😅 & he Drew 12 for Westy - flyer. 

On to my draw & 2 was pinged, Danny on 1 Rob E on 3 & top Mucca Locky on 4 good line up, these boys are class. 

So 13.5 over, maggots over maggots best line. 10m to the left worm & caster fed but didn’t bother 2x2 in front maggots short rather than meat, I’m not a meat guy tbf 😳

Down the left edge was loads of cover & a tree stump got to be Carpy it was for 2 rouge Carp. Spent all day on the long line loosing loads of carp that were foul hooked, I was expecting Rob to tell me off as a few went out of my peg but top man he didn’t care 😁👍🎣

Locky caught well the last part on Paste also Danny done well plus I could here him talking to the geese all day wtf 🤣🤣🤣

Rob wasn’t doing great after a great start, before the scales turned up Kingy was moaning about him peg 🤣🤣🤣then he said Westy wasn’t weighing in 🤣🤣🤣 done you again Another one to Skill School 🤣🤣 

Not sure if I may book in for this week as I was meant to be going away on hols but it’s looking like it’s going to be cancelled again. The joys of having your own Company relentless 🙃 so hopefully you’ll be reading a blog next week 🎣👍

Tight lines have a great week, oh & Kingy fail to prep - prepare to fail.. Oh I meant Westy 🤣🤣🤣

 Terry & Dicks Memorial 

Woodlands 19.09.21

A good place to start would be what a gem Terry was I’ve known him for probably 30yrs starting from when I used to work nights at Wellworthys. Great guy so gentle & a Gentleman. I’ve only known Dick through my Match Fishing again a complete Gem always had a smile even when the chips were down 😁. 

So on to the draw I drew a great area for this Silvers Match peg 25. Lol when I got there & started to set up who should turn ha Westy haha oh my, buts there’s more on my other side was Kingy dam I’m in for some S@@t today 🤣🤣 so this match was full of excellent Silvers Anglers to say the least far to many to mention. I set up a cage feeder towards the middle of the lake, 12M was my GB line 9M to my left was a corn & paste line that has worked very well in the warmer months & a 9M right was a worm & caster line which was the best for me all day plenty of bites but unfortunately no stamp of quality skimmers. Westy was struggling all day & Kingys short line came good towards the end to give him 2nd. I could hear Big Westy & The Guru Tart yapping all day my gosh don’t they talk. I thought Guru was gonna kick my but on his peg but he didn’t & I thought Matrix Tony was going to pull it out of the bag. I could see a lot of the guys  hooking carp, I seen Sausage have a couple Kingy & Westy we’re flat out hooking carp & also George. The Coles lads were on form to go on & win. Terry & Dicks family turned up for a low key presentation it was great to see, Terry & Dick would of been so proud well they actually were as they looked down probably having a good time with a few ciders & some whiskey. 

Well done to everyone that came it was a lovely gesture & a lovely day. 

Hawthorne Sunday & it’s full I was late booking on & didn’t get a space, have a great match.

My first match back after a while, so I was really looking forward to this one & I was gunned up for a good day & it was lovely to see all the guys I certainly have missed it & spending my day with a great bunch of competing guys all looking for a win. A quick catch up with Locky & Nick & let’s not forget Westy oh Westy you do try & beat me on this venue but you fail keep trying buddy you’ll get there in the end haha 😛. Kingy was taking the fees whilst having a bit of banter with Jordy. 

On to the draw me & Nick S we’re last to draw as he was telling me about his 5th holiday this year 🤣 good man you lead a privalliged life 😁🎣

I drew 11 & he drew 23 not bad at all well so I thought, when I got there it was solid with fish down the left edge & across to the island 😁 I could see Westy on 13 unlucky for some & especially you 👍🎣. Also Kingy drew a proper flyer peg 5 😊. The all in was called so I fed my left edge with meet & hemp, 13 meters across was fed with a bit of micro & a 6m pellet. I had two straight away but the hook pulled on both. Bagger Newell was on peg 12 & he was straight into a good skimmer & Westy seemed to be on the ball catching . On 11 was the White Acres hero Bagger Allen he didn’t seem to be doing to much at this point but that didn’t last for long he was soon sacking to go on & win the match short on Paste 👍👍. I went down my edge it was solid but I couldn’t get a touch on meat then corn & Paste I went through the lot. Back to the island kattying 4m pellets still nothing I was struggling. 

I then tried paste short I had a couple. I could see Gringe Chivers fishing 14.5 m to the island shallow & catching well til his number 8 snapped Wow. 

I tried maggots over maggots down the edge that was the right change I started catching well & loosing fish two elastics pulled out of my kits later. I then went on paste down the edge & put a new top kit on Preston 18-20!! That kept them under control nicely The edge got better & better but it was to late to catch up shame really. Frustrating day tbf had to keep changing things to eventually catch, but nice to work it out in the end 😊. I seen my mate Westy packing up early haha 😂 he’d had enough loosing fish around the island & Bagger Knell was quite consistent. Sacker Allen was giving me neck ache his lackey was out all the time on carp. Well what happened to Kingy DNW he always says I shouldn’t of chucked back - but you did & I done the pair of you, luv it 😁🤣🤣🎣. 

Next week it’s Dick & Terry’s memorial match at Woodlands, please remember it’s Silvers only. That’s going to be interesting to say the least. George reckons he’s gonna pull everyone’s pants down - will see Fletch 😁👍🎣

Have a good week & see you Sunday, tight lines.
