Sunday 21st August 2016 - Viaduct Campbell

All twenty who had booked in turned out for our Sunday outing to Viaduct.......... "A small miracle".   The lads were in good spirits with lots of banter and leg pulling, even while paying out money to Treasure.  

I collected the peg numbers and the sheet from Badger, Helen drew the golden peg number 129, and we all went back to the cars for the draw.   It all went to plan!! George was moaning because he had drawn a carp peg he said.   Tonto drew somewhere in the jungle,  he could not cast because of the trees.   The Sheriff said if he was drawn next to me he would go home, and sure enough that's what happened, but he stayed.   Well all I have to say is," look what you old moaners weighed in", but they were only acting naturally, so they must have been enjoying themselves.

Horny tooted the off, and from the start there were lots of fish being caught, making the prospect of another good match.   Horny managed to break a section and lost another in the lake!!   Most of the lads thought he ought to be sectioned himself!!   The other thing thing of note was "Sheriff and the Weeping Willow" that sounds like a good name for a book.  Anyway he pulled out a pesky one and put his rig up the tree;  he tugged on his pole, and now his top section was up the same tree;  mutter mutter mutter, he disappeared and came back with Tonto's sectional weed cutter, five minuted later the top section of the reed cutter was hanging from the offending tree.  By this time half a dozen of the lads were having a good laugh, having stopped fishing to see what was coming next.   Well the outcome was, he got everything back, only loosing a 10 shot, the jammy old git.  We have put him in for an audition for the next Tarzan film, he would make a good Cheetah.

The match went well, with five topping the ton, and the silvers winning with 49lbs 1oz , can't complain at that.   Thanks to Badger and Colin for weighing us in, we look forward to our next visit.

Full results below.

On Wednesday it's Trinity, and Sunday next its Shiplate Main lake.

                                          Keep fishing.
