Sunday 8th November 2015 - Emerald Pools

Emerald Pool Lakes Ruby and Sapphire

21 anglers arrived promptly at the venue and the usual banter started, who would take the others £1, no one talked about winning the match.  Bolton George set off with 20 pegs to indicate the swims, by the time he returned we needed 21, poor George!!!

More members entered and paid for our fur and feather on the 20th DECEMBER. It looks like a probable 30 member turn out. Which is not bad seeing that the club only started in June.

As everyone was early the draw was made at 8-30, and Phil the Horn was persuaded to blast off a little early, after much abuse from his so called mates!

I drew peg 3 on Sapphire so I had nothing to complain about, and when my float disappeared first chuck on double caster, I thought not bad.  Sadly bites slowed down, and it became a struggle until the last hour, and a reasonable 25lbs 8ozs was weighed in.

There were a few messing about with their gear up trees, and Phil managed to break his No.5 section , another expensive day for him.  After 5 hours a good amount of fish were caught the results as follows:-

     1st Both lakes                                 Mike Bendell                43lbs 4ozs
     1st Overall   Sapphire                       George Fletcher            41lbs 4ozs
     1st Silvers   Sapphire                       Dave Allen                    25lbs 12ozs
     1st Overall   Ruby                            Steve King                    35lbs 0ozs
     1st Silvers   Ruby                            Andy Danahay             9 lbs 4ozs

      Well done all for a very good fun day
