Ten of Dad's Army Fish
Troop arrived at the venue which, weatherwise didn't look great, but this
didn't deter the lads. Pete O'Summerhayes was in good form, both
giving and taking some stick, while at the same time dishing out the hot
drinks.
After I took the money
and did the business the pegs were selected, the Golden Peg being number
10. It was then time for the draw, I drew number six with Danny on
my left at peg eight, so I was prepared for another hammering.
I shouted all in, and we
got underway. It was about 5ft in depth, so it was a
0.3gr float, a few spread out number 10s for a slow drop, and pinkie
and caster for bait. After 20 minutes I had two skimmers and a
small carp so I was feeling quite pleased. But not for
long! that nasty old Sheriff was catching faster and bigger; I
could see my nugget disappearing penny by penny. It was a good
day's fishing with plenty of bites, and I'm thinking we must use Summerhayes a
little more often.
Weatherwise we had heavy
showers, hailstones and sunshine, quite a mixture, just like Danny's net of
fish all 19lbs 12 ozs of them, there were skimmers, carp, tench, roach, rudd,
and even a very plump GOLDFISH? brought from home I suspect!!!
"Head Chef and Fisherman" Pete Cooke was top with a nice net of carp
from peg 23.
Well done to all. It's Shiplate on Sunday and Sedges Brick next
Wednesday'
