A dozen of Dad's Army
turned out for muster on what promised to be a great day weather
wise. And so it was, the fishing was pretty good as
well. I came last with 10lbs of silvers, but I did put back a carp.
Anyway, back to the
car park where George was dealing in second hand poles, and expounding the
wonders of his new pole the M50. I was occupied extracting a few bob out
of the lads and paying our dues, and not forgetting the pegging. The
Golden Peg was number 20.
Business completed,
and it was time to take up our positions, check ammo, and present
weapons. I drew peg 13 again with "New Pole George" to my
right, I must say it's a nice piece of kit. It was good to see Kev
back in harness after his minor stroke, and as keen as ever. I must
mention the Sheriff having a little moan about his peg.
I shouted all in, and
things got underway I was having a slow start, so I had my first
pork pie, watching George catch good skimmers was so depressed I started on
another. The day progressed, and knowing how far behind I was I
decided on the margins for an easy day. I was soon into fish which
included a carp, tench, and skimmer, plus roach and rudd of various sizes.
It was a good day,
George with a great silvers weight of 32lbs 11ozs deserved my
nugget. Simon on the Golden Peg 20 weighed 85lbs for
overall. Everyone weighed in with none less than double figures. Thanks Vic for a great venue.
Next it's Trinity on Sunday, followed by Summerhays on Wednesday.
Get Fishing
