Wednesday 4th November 2015 - Emerald Pools

16 of  "Dads Army" trooped out to attempt to conquer "Emerald Pool" for the first time  Ruby and Sapphire were the two lakes to be assulted, and as the time approached  there was much talk about baits and tactics to be used.   Money was collected, and it was decided to pay 1st overall and 1st silvers on both lakes making four payouts.

I drew peg 4 which put me on Ruby,  George immediately said I was on a flyer, as he was the specialist on the venue.   In fact 15 out of 16 had hot pegs, the exception being Bolton George, surprise surprise!!!

The lads made their way to their pegs, and the moans started about stickups and other difficulties another surprise!!?  Phil the Horn had left it at home, so that made myself official starter, and a good toot was sounded at 10-00.

Sapphire lake fished well right from the off, but Ruby struggled to begin with.  The match was a busy affair, with the majority catching well, the outcome being our little TREASURE Tony the Fry top of the pile? or heap? I don't know which.
