We had a good turnout
with 14 of Dad's Army on muster parade, all ready to part with their cash and
try their luck on what promised to be a great day weatherwise.
Misha opened up for us
and with the help of Lilly provided us with tea and coffee, we were then
ready for business. I collected the money and selected the pegs to
be fished. Baby Lilly chose the golden peg 23, and it was time
for the draw. Bolten George got lucky and reckoned he would win by
a distance. We all know what happens to blokes who boast!!!
Off to the bank, I was
on peg 6 with Spod Coombs on my left and looking forward to a quiet
match. There were fish blowing, but were they bream OR
big scaleys? I had a lazy day with five
sections at the most. I fed sweetcorn, caster, and my groundbait
mix.
I shouted the all in and
fed a small amount starting with the corn, after 15 minutes I had one carp in
the net and lost two. I decided to stay with the corn feeding in
small amount regularly, this is often the method I prefer using cupping gear for
accuracy. I started to catch small skimmers with an occasional
quality fish until about halfway through, then things went quiet, so I
changed to worm and a few more entered the net, but very slowly. so it was
back to the corn. The last hour was more productive, and at the weigh in
I was just short of 20lbs, plus a few carp, A good days fishing.
Sheriff , Tony N and
myself did the weighing, and when we came to George there was a smug look on
his face, his tongue was out, and he was oozing
confidence He weighed in with 20lbs 1oz, just 6ozs more the
me, OH DEAR. Tungsten was next and he became everyone's best
mate when he weighed 26lbs 13ozs. Well done Dave.
There was a lot of fish
caught, the complete results are below.
Next Sunday its Shiplate Main, and Wednesday Avalon
It's good to fish.
