Sedges Tile 27.11.22

 Sedges Tile 

The weather was set to be really good after all the rain of late, I arrived shortly followed by Guru & Matrix Ducky Junior. 

Locky & Stan arrived & we queued for the cafe to open, Guru was giving it the large one on how he was going to give us a lesson today on the Silvers & true to his word he did 👍🏻🎣

On to the draw & I picked up 32, a nice island in front of me & a empty peg to my right 31, the only problem chucking to my right was a tree so it made things difficult I couldn’t get in there. 

Normal winter feeds for me Gb & Maggots. Three lines two long & one short. 

Negative feeding on one & the others a bit more positive needles to say the positive lines didn’t give much apart from a couple of skimmers & a carp that done my elastic & rig. 

The negative line was ok once it got going but didn’t last. I found myself scratching around on all lines even the tip that was set up with a cage feeder for anything that swims didn’t do anything, with an hour to go I altered the tip rod to a carp set up & bit the bullet to try & chuck to my right avoiding the tree a bit tricky but it got me two Carp I should of done this a lot earlier. That’s my day I could see a lot of guys struggling apart from Yammy “pictured” he was on them again “good angling”

On my way back to the car park to load up I saw John W he’d had a nasty day trying to get bites plus his number 5 broke through no fault of his own I did feel for him. 

The banter was going around the car park nicely Ducky got all the nuggets out of his ashtray that he’s won off Guru pmsl 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Matrix was giving Guru some jip aswell. Nice end to the day see you next week 🎣

Xmas Match after Venue

 Xmas Match after Venue

Hi Guys

A date for your calendar - Great news it was looking like we had no venue but after I made some effort & phone calls with Jan I can now confirm, this will be held at the 37 Club where there will be a buffet & beverage from the bar if required. The overall winners will collect their prizes from the 37 Club the same as any other prize ( The committee have made the decision there will be no prizes handed out in the car park or any type of presentation held in a cold changing shed at Trinity- its Xmas 🎅 ) a lot of time & effort has gone into this at all levels from Tony’s wife Gail, plus Tony & Gail going out of their way to shop for prizes, with all this effort going in we only thought it would be right… Any prizes not collected will be raffled off at the 37 Club for members attending. 

The AGM

This will be held at the 37 Club on the 6th January 2023 at 19.00hrs onwards. 

Tony Fry has wrote an agenda letter that will be published on here & also a paper copy for members to be given out this Sunday. 

Thanks

Woodlands 20.11.22

 Trinity Woodlands 

Rock Hard Rock Hard Rock Hard !!!!

So the above just says how hard it was today & I’m not putting it down. 

I pulled into the car park to see John W,  Guru & Yammy & Matrix we’re already there, it was pouring with rain Yammy said to me I hope you got your brolly, I looked at two fourcast & one looked ok & the other rain 🌧️ & wind so I was hoping on the first however, it is what it is. 

We had a little chat about the venue for after the Xmas match tbf we’re not making much headway on that score but I won’t go into that on here. 

The rain started to break & the car Park started to fill. 

Times we’re 9.45 - 14.45 just the job for the winter ahead, 

I drew 14 not bad but I’d prefer the other side definitely for company I had Yammy on 15 & John W on 13 so absolute diamonds for company, we had some great banter aswell. I thought well I’m gonna get batterd today but the fishing was far harder than I predicted. I set up a little Cage feeder for anything that swims along with my rigs to the same principle. 9.45 & all in it was flat carm with a lovely blue sky we did have the odd shower but the contender was going to be the sun in our eyes on this bank & then the wind started “it was rough” I was having a massive problem with the sun I tried numerous lines to get the peg going it was a non starter including the edge which can be really good on this peg but not today. Yammy had a nice skimmer then anther followed by John, I was scratching around until I had a couple aswell. I could hear Bobby struggling & Dave T. I scratched for hours totally bite less Yammy was moaning of no bites & John was putting a few in the net but again struggling. That was my day done when the wind really started going for it, I thought this is pole breaking wind with no bites I was done. 

Yammy said he’d had two bites with 5 minutes to go & one was a 10lber. I got the van loaded & went & seen Guru who’d had a nice day catching on the cage feeder in the bottom left corner. Well done 👍 

I drove home & my head was truley banging so early bath for me with some head ache tablets as you can see that was the best part of the day lol 🤣🤣🤣 that’s fishing. On to the next - sedges next week so let’s hope for some bites winter is here 🌧️🥶

Sedges 13.11.22

 Hey Guys

💥💥💥Venue Change 13.11.22 💥💥💥

This message is to let you all know that there has been a venue change from Landsend to Sedges Brick. There are only 10 pegs booked for half of the lake for the Anglers that booked Landsend. See you at Trinity Tight Lines. 

Avalon 06.11.22

 Yammy doing a few word for the blog this time as shaun's still away.  So Sunday morning at Avalon was the chosen venue for the day. We'll the draw was done and I ended up on peg 27 next to John wolstencroft. At the all in I had a carp first put in then nothing so went on my pellet line and had a quick run of small roach and skimmers on corn and then nothing whilst John was having and losing small skimmers. He can swear I tell ya as all sorts of words were leaving his mouth lol. Anyway I looked like we were going to have a shower and out the blue it lashed it down and it was biblical proportions lol. I could see Rob Eagle and Martin catching fairly well also. I ended up with 10 carp for 55lb being beaten by Stephen Coles for 3rd So not to bad. Well done to Tony on winning it and the other framers. Paul lock I hope your feet have dried out also. See you all next week.
