I met Guru & Matrix Ton at Macy D’s then straight over to Avalon after a nice catch up with the guys - on to the draw 44 was mine for the day.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;

So avalon was the venue for the days match and another dry day was on the cards altho it was chilly. Anyway so I drew yet again peg 29 can't get away from the lower end of the lake. Had tony newel to the right and Rob dodd to the left of me. At the all in I fed gbait whilst chucking bomb and bread to the island and an hour in I was still biteless, rob had 2 skimmers and Tony had carp no4 in the net. I've had 2 skimmers in 2 chucks then nowt so fed my margin and had a carp first put in. At 11.30 tony had 49lb on the clicker and he could have finished then as non of us would have caught him making it 3 wins on the trot. Really good on bomb and pellet he is. It was great to see Phil on his road to recovery. My tally came in at 5 carp and 6 skimmers for 27lb not brilliant but scraped 3rd. Really hard going today but a great day anyway. Well done to the framers. Trinity next week so drop me a message if your attending. Thanks everyone have a good week.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK3DihQ03Vdt9EGfmbREuZSRI1eZQnAX0TypDUW-B2vSkmVqfGmpSfcoblTTxh3EVcJmFpE7zkx55uq_xEjEj-pfMLnCzBYV1XStEP7VvcY9RtgzhHeazsWdaJW1yARBMs-O42ercM1pE2C367Qf9Q7nLEMGlghehPkECV2LhBbR2zqABKHI6ODLYaSA/s2778/8B7F0D7A-4174-4026-8DA5-50E0C01278CA.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2778" data-original-width="1284" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK3DihQ03Vdt9EGfmbREuZSRI1eZQnAX0TypDUW-B2vSkmVqfGmpSfcoblTTxh3EVcJmFpE7zkx55uq_xEjEj-pfMLnCzBYV1XStEP7VvcY9RtgzhHeazsWdaJW1yARBMs-O42ercM1pE2C367Qf9Q7nLEMGlghehPkECV2LhBbR2zqABKHI6ODLYaSA/s320/8B7F0D7A-4174-4026-8DA5-50E0C01278CA.png" width="148" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Shaun Larkhamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03435249944462164755noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4744419268261975985.post-31307479968357434972023-02-12T20:11:00.000+00:002023-02-12T20:11:01.876+00:00Sedges 12.02.23<p> Yammy here doing a short blog. Well after waiting all week to go fishing and really looking forward to seeing the lads my fishing with them was cut short rather quickly as I had only gone and miscounted by 1 person which would have meant an extra half a lake for 1 angler so unfortunately I had to fish on another lake by myself. On a positive I did beat myself but only just lol. Anyway well done to all the framers today on the other lake. Avalon next week and if I have missed anyone please text me as numbers have to be given to Vic by Tuesday. Seeya all next week and hopefully I can fish with you all next week 😆</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgVxKKMsM-VxzJ2wCr_s_UM9RckwtckcnEEJQcgAkI1ISJt8Igsn4m8ZHH8p_Xq3Dp7QGZoTIrsNCD3e-HI0V12KmjGvFkqQn7cXH-beMhnI7-RAzFsj1ZTfbwBorxU777aQQHCjF3saatb-NbeQhnAQ87eGzPg7SysHfQYNRs54_JhMN_W5wGvsUq_Q/s2778/A17D6311-5130-45D2-882F-AAB05EF698B7.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
