Another good muster on a
very good day weatherwise, I can't believe it's December. The final count
was 18 fine bodied men all geared up, paid up and impatient to make
the draw After the usual banter with Badger Steve and the new
streamline Nick Collins, I relieved Steve of the peg numbers, and business commenced. The draw was made; I drew peg 3, which I was informed should
fish well. Because we had not fished Spring before, there were no
complaints from anyone except Bolton George, there's a surprise!!!
I set up two rigs, one for out in front, the other for inside shallow, hoping
for the resident perch. Horney Beards tooted to start us
going. I potted in a small amount of bait and started lowering my
rig which continued under the water, when I lifted, a small roach appeared out of
the depths, and promptly fell off to go back home. This was how my
day continued, drop offs, snags, and primarily interfering ducks. I
thought the ducks and myself were becoming a personal thing, I baited up
the ducks dived in and ate it, no contest, the ducks won every
time!! I had a very frustrating day, but at the weigh in had a
respectable 13lbs 11ozs of silvers.
Bolton George, from his rubbish peg won with 21lbs 2ozs fishing top two, not
bad. Danny was second with 19lbs 2ozs. Surprisingly
there was only a single carp caught all day, and this was half and hour before
the end by a very layed back Martin Coombs.
Everyone enjoyed their fishing to various degrees, and the results were quite
close, the full results can be seen below as usual.
Next Wednesday we are fishing at Shiplate on Hawthorns, only 15 to fish,
so get in quickly!!!
Look forward,
