Sunday 14th May 2017 - Shiplate Main Lake

We fished on Shiplate Main Lake today, and nineteen members of Hook Line and Sinker arrived to contest our match.   Steve and Carole were taking care of everything, they selected the pegs to be fished, and the Golden Peg numbers 3A and 11.

I collected the money, paid the fees and sorted the pools.    Next it was the draw, Simon drew 11 and I got 3A, which meant a shorter walk, BUT I got the Nasty Old Sheriff to my left, and that good angler Martin Western to my right.

The Horny Hedgehog tooted and we got underway.   As happens on this lake, one side are in shirtsleeves and the other with hoodies up.    From the start I was catching small fish, and thinking maybe a good result, and so it might have been, until two hours before the end when the bites dried up.   At the weigh in I had 13lbs 6ozs for a share of third silvers with the Chef.   "They will come George" on peg 14 won with 18lbs 14ozs and Simon second with 14lbs 10ozs.

The overall winner was "Man with no Name" on peg 14B with 74lbs 14ozs, beating Tonto on peg 15 who had 62lbs, and Woolly on peg 13 with 52lbs 12ozs.  As you can see by the results, the weight's came from one area, the calm sunny side.

There was nothing unusual to report, the lad's were acting something near normal for a change;  very worrying!

On Wednesday its Sedges Brick, and next Sunday we visit Avalon, there is plenty of room at both venues.
