Avalon 25.09.22

 Unfortunately no blog as I had to pull out due to a trapped nerve in my neck, however, Locky sent me a brief message this morning saying it wasn’t his day. He had a day on the Silvers but in hindsight he should have gone for Carp. Hopefully I will be back Sunday for Landsend

Memorial Silvers 18.09.22

 Memorial Trinity Woodlands 


So today was a bit of a special Day, the day we remember Two great guys as I’ve said before but this one is the second match in their name. 

When I arrived Guru & Matrix were already there. Guru telling Matrix about his new rods coming but unfortunately there’s no date for an ETA & Six Rods he’s going fore lol 😂 he was also on about his new box again no ETA but late November its due date, I asked him why he’s getting the White Absolute & his reply was because your getting one 🤣🤣 lol 😂 fair play. 

Shortly after Nick Ducky Junior turned up waving his new Silvers / F1 tip rod around after he had a bargain on it. 


On to the import bit now, the presure was on a Silvers Match, all good but so many Silver Anglers all wanting the win, I wanted low 20’s as all good Silvers pegs & they normally hang around that end, but not to be I drew 7 Great NOT My Day was doomed from there. A good Carp Peg as I was going to prove. 

For company I had Rob E on 6 again a great Carp peg as he said - his words not mine I’m going at 1pm on my left Westy great to see him back after his hols & time out 🌞

Bagger Newell then Silvers Man himself Rich Coles my day just gets better 😳

All in at 10, 13m Gb & Maggots that could go with any hookers I feel may work, save me messing about nothing did apart from -  Carp & a short line that can also work well for Silvers - oh it worked for - Carp 😳

That’s my day Carp Carp & more Carp after nearly loosing my top 3 on - Carp, that was enough & I’d had a gut full so 2 o’clock I called it a day. 

Rob E fished the tip all day & caught steady well done to him he was still there when I went & fair play for a guy that was going at 1 he went on to win 🥇 when I chucked the cage feeder out I caught yep - Carp 😳

Westy was also doing ok he was catching Silvers with some carp in the mix he gave me a Skill School Lesson same for Bagger. 


It was a ok day, it was what it was nothing I could do really see you at Avalon. Guru has spoken to Vic we have the road side Pegs 26-45 

I believe my mate is back this week after being stuck in Spain last week. I’ll look forward to it 😁🎣

Sedges 11.09.22

 Sedges 11th September 


As normal Sunday only means one thing club day, as I walked my dog on Saturday I spoke to my Mucca Locko for some info on today’s match he put me right on a few things with this lake as I’m not a usual so much as I probably should be. I think that’s going to change tho as it’s a quality fishery to have as a venue not to mention the on site cafe. 

I met Guru & Matrix Fry at 7 for a breakfast also joining us was Graham Burge nice to see him back so let’s give him a nick name Budgy Burge 😀🎣 

As we came out of the cafe it was a great vibe going round the venue was packed two matches on today & some faces I’ve not seen for a while one was Dave Romain Colmic Master in this area so a nice catch up with him. 

On to the draw & I’ve got peg 8 a good line up on are side Richie Coles down the bottom then Rog followed by Matrix Fry, he wasn’t to happy with him draw tbf but as we discussed in the cafe his outlook seem to be good Pellet wag Bomb & edge seems like a good plan. Jordy Searle was also in the mix on this side he would be hard to beat on the tip. For company I had Guru to my left & bagger knewll to my right followed by Budgy up in the corner. I’m thinking is it going to be a Silvers day after a quick message to Locky in Spain telling me it’s a good Silvers peg Shag.

I’ve gone on the tip to the rope knowing I’ll catch both Silvers & carp, sure enough a carp second chuck,  with quick 3 minute casts I was into skimmers so I cracked on with that & started to feed my pole lines for Skimmers. 

The tip dried up after about an hour so onto the pole both short lines however the two plus one was the best by far, I could see Fletch catching well Carp & Silvers & also carp doing him, Guru was struggling but he managed a few Bagger was doing very well no surprise there lol 😂 Legend, also John W was straight across he was on them & going well the rest of the other side didn’t seem to be to busy, I kept my head down & cracked on as I guessed I was doing ok ?? Guru called the all out at 4 so how was the scales going to go? I helped Danny & Bagger with the weigh in & took some photos. 


Next week I’m not there as I’m having some time out with the wife in the caravan pitty as I’m going to miss Terry & Dick’s memorial match at Trinity, so I’ll see you the week after at Avalon. I’ll ask one of the guys to do a blog for the memorial match 👍🎣

03.09.22 Shiplate Main Lake

 


No blog last week as the away day was cancelled, a few of us jumped on different matches whilst others were on holidays etc.


Me &. Locky fished for Fry ‘s we were at The Sedges Locky. done good with 3rd on the Silvers 👏 👏.& I weighed in a half respectful  90lb a good days sport. 

Fletch & Sausage went to Viaducts open where Fletch framed on the Silvers 👏👏 


No match for me this week, so I asked Guru if he could do the blog for me, it’s always good to read someone else’s prospective of their day, it makes a nice change 🎣🎣



This weeks Match was at Shiplate &


we had 15 fishing, after a lovely bacon and egg roll with Mr Matrix Fry we were onto the draw done by Yammy with the help of Westy.

First in the bag was myself and peg 2 was my home for the day, being one of the smaller pegs I decided to fish for Silvers.

The all in at 10 o’clock & match on, it fished well for most of us.

The far side seemed to fish better with some good weights.

Bagger Newell was on fire, he never lets us down with 1st overall with John W 2nd and Jordy Searle 3rd 

The Silver fishing was good 1st  Mr Cole’s 2nd Dave Tunstall and 3rd Bolton George, I just pinged short in 4th with 23.6, I had a lovely days fishing.


next Sunday’s Match has been Rescheduled. We are on Brick at Sedges. I’m looking forward to seeing you there - tight lines 🎣🎣


The Guru Tart 😁💪👍
