Xmas Match, Woodlands 19.12.21

 Xmas Match Trinity Woodlands 


I’ll just start off with my anniversary of the blog, yes it’s this time last year I wrote my first blog, can’t be to bad as it gets enough hits 😁 hard to start with but I’d like to think I got in the swing of things & didn’t bore everyone 😁🎣..

So let’s get on with it, this week I was the first one there as I was meant to be meeting Guru, Nick Selway & Stan at Sedges for a breakie 😁 but I was running late so that didn’t happen Ah Well more sausages for Nicky S. Shane soon turned up so quick catch up before the car park started to fill unfortunately Locky was working so a DNW from him, shame as I was in the mood to give him another Skill School lesson 🤣🤣

The draw - Westy drew me 9 yeah I thought that’s ok👌for company I had Danny to my right & Richie Cole’s to my left. So today was all about bites with 24 on lake it was always going to be tough going & it certainly was. I did make a massive school boy error & didn’t dress for the cold winters day ahead & I was absolutely freezing 🥶so concentration levels were very low by 13.00hrs the lake fished really hard resulting in blanks with some I did manage to put on 4lb 6oz & loosing a good bream on the tip (cage feeder) so that put me 4th for Silvers I was quite happy with that, tbf I wasn’t really in the mood so I fished a really simple match 12m the tip & a margin which I did think would produce, it didn’t. 

Kingy was on great form winning from peg 32 he was gutted to be drawn that, he & Dave Bagger Allen fished a blinder. Bagger Knewll done 3rd also fishing a blinder. Richie done very well I watched him today & he is class, he gave me a royal spanking same as Danny really good Silvers Anglers. 

After the match those that wanted to go back to the 37 Club did to warm up with some scran & a pint. That’s the thing it was great day paid for by the club & everyone had a prize, can’t ask for more really. I’d like to thank Guru Phill for his work all year plus Westy & Kingy for all their efforts they really do a great job.

Shane for the constant bookings - those guys ring all the time no matter what the time is & Tony Fry for helping Shane & Westy, Kingy on the match days. Tony’s wife did the hampers & they looked great thank you Gail 👏👏👏 also Westy’s wife for getting the Vino, chocolates etc. Plus Nick Selway for contributing four Turkeys & loads of eggs that was really good of you buddy 👏👏👏 

That’s about it from the match front there really wasn’t much to write about from point of view. That just leaves me to wish you all a very Merry Xmas & a Great New Year. Tight lines & see you on the other side XX 😁👍🎣
