Summerhayes 22.01.23

 Yammy just sent me the sheet all the way from the UK whilst I’m literally Roasting at our awesome 5 star in Tenerife with a beer in hand aw well it’s 5 o'clock somewhere  🍹🍹🤣🤣🤣🌞🌞🌞

I thought I’d add a little humor just looking at the weight sheet.. 

Sedges Tile 15.01.23

 Yammy here for my first match back of the new year. Sedges,tile lake the venue for the day and I had tony the bomb and new member Robbie Dodd the other side of me. At the all in tony had a 10lb carp first chuck followed  by Rob Dodd a 2lb bream. I hadn't had a bite till 2.5 hours later and lost the carp at the net. I had skimmer all day and with the rain lashing you in the face it was bliss. But on a positive it was great to see everyone again and the weather can only get better surely?? Well done to all the framers and hopefully better weather next week. Summerhayes next week get ya names down. Seeya all next week. Tight lines.

Covey 08.01.23

 Covey 

First one back for 23 the weather well it was savage Wind Wind with Rain & more Rain not an ideal mix but it was what it was 🥶I have to say I had a nice Xmas Present that I could put to the test & that was a Preston Heated Jacket whilst the guys were freezing especially Nick S I was lovely & toasty I had it on full blast all day 😁💪 awsome bit of winter 🥶 kit 

On to the draw we only had ten today so it was every other nearly, at the top end it was a mill pond but it got worse as you come down. I drew 7 yea I was happy with that middle of the lake. 

To the conditions one rig short left & right that was all I could do & a marginal rig to find a good depth. 

To my right I had Dave bagger Allen & left I had Bagger Knewll I was going to get battered 💪🎣 I started quite well a few F1’s then the roach moved in I started to rotate on my lines it was slow but steady, I was getting bites & that’s good for anyone this time of the year. I started priming my margin shortly after the all in as thought there maybe fish there sooner rather than later - saying that I still didn’t go on it to the afternoon as I had feeding fish on my lines. Dave was getting stuck in to the F1’s quickly but not so much for Bagger Knewll he seem to be quiet 😁 there really didn’t seem to be much happening anywhere what I could see but my vision was limited as I was on my far right swim due to the wind - horrendous gust. 

I just got my head down &. caught what ever swam & fed in my swims. I eventually went on my sort of edge & had a small carp I think it was probably good for a couple more but I ran out of time. 

I had 2nd on the day so it paid off, it was really hard conditions with presentation & feeding it was just hard all round. 

Next week we’re at Sedges I think they’re maybe a space or 2 but I’m not sure you’ll have to check with Ian his number is on the AGM blog report if you haven’t got it.
