Wednesday 3rd February 2016 - Avalon Fisheries

It's was blowing a hooli; didn't look like another great day for the 16 well dressed lads of Dads Army at Avalon.  Good news, the wind is on our backs, the bad news is the strange colour of the water.

The draw was made, and names registered against  peg numbers, so off to the bank. I have drawn peg nine, not a problem:  on my right Tonto will be tossing out the feeder and resting, to my left Eric, another feeder man, leaving the pole line free.   I set up two rigs, one for out in front, the other for the margins with size 20/22 hooks, hoping for some bites.  The day started slowly, and reports from along the bank were the same.    Tonto peaked very early, catching a carp after two hours.   Eric and John to my left are still waiting for a bite, and it's now  Thursday afternoon!!!

Chris and his bearded friend started weighing us in and it was apparent no records were going to be broken.  Tonto was the winner by 1oz, the silvers went to Dave Tunstall with 2lbs 4ozs.   It was a really tough day's fishing, but it was the same for everyone, better days to come we hope!!.  

Full results below.

 Sunday it's Sedges  and next Wednesday Viaducts on Lodge, which is restricted the 15.
