The sun was shining but
there was a cold wind, this seems to be the weather pattern of late, so the
water temperature stays low. This did not deter the
thirteen of Dad's Army who were paying their cash and surmizing how they may
come out on top in our contest.
I collected the loot and
completed the business; it was then time for the draw. Peg 2
was the Golden Peg which was drawn by Kev. I drew 4 with George on
3 and Tungsten on 5, so plenty of chat today. I had very little
bait, my casters were floating and my maggots were rubbish, but there were
enough for the hook, and with a small amount of groundbait I was ready for the
off. Two thirds out and down the edge was the theory today, I
noticed George was fishing in a similar way. From the off I was
catching roach and skimmer in front, then a bonus crucian, so things were
going nicely. A look down the edge, but nothing just yet, just
a perch about 3ozs. Back out and the carp were becoming
active. I have decided to catch a few of these pests on my light
rig and a 20 hook, so just a little patience was needed.
At the all out I had
17lbs of silvers and 25lbs 14ozs of carp; a great day's fishing, and it
was enough to win overall and the silvers. I hope the bad patch is
over!! George got the silvers by default with 15lbs 4ozs, but everyone
caught.
Thanks to Steve and
Reggie for looking after us, and we are looking forward to our return.
On Sunday it's Viaducts Campbell we are full, and next Wednesday
it's
Summerhayes Longs, I would like some more names please.
