It was Avalon today, and
as I looked at the eleven of Dad's Army on parade, I thought eight would
fish for silvers, and that would make my job harder.
Vic was in charge of the
fishery today, so he was responsible for peg numbers, the Golden Peg was number
7, which I drew. I took the lads' loot and settled with
Vic. The draw completed, so it was off to the bank.
Tonto was on my left,
and was into the carp first chuck, to my left three pegs away was
Treasure. This is a good silvers venue, and it lived up to
that reputation today.
I was fishing the five
metre line, feeding regularly, and fishing a tad over depth. This
resulted in a steady flow of skimmers and roach to various sizes.
Except for the cold north-easterly it was a very good
day.
I could see the
Nasty Old Sheriff's landing net working hard, and I reckoned I was way
behind George drew peg one, but I was not worried as he
thought the peg couldn't win, so he was beaten before he started.
Chef on peg three had
his cooker on high, and did the business overall with 54lbs 4ozs. Sheriff
weighed 21lbs 13ozs, and myself 22lbs 4ozs, which put a smile on my
face. That was until Tivi Dave weighed 25lbs3ozs, but he was beaten by the end peg "Ballcock" who managed a great 35lbs on the waggler,
his comment was "did I really catch that"!!!
I am looking forward to Summerhayes Long on Sunday, and Viaducts
Match
next Wednesday.
Summer's coming, I hope!!
