HLS were
fishing Hawthorns Shiplate today, needless to say it was a full house on
this popular venue. Steve Carol and Reggie were all attending to
our needs, starting with peg numbers and golden peg.
I took the money, sorted
the pools, and settled with Steve. This done it was time for the
draw. The Chef got lucky, he drew the golden peg number
nine. I drew
ten, with Tivi on my
right. Pete and I like a chat, the weather was good, what
more did I want? FISH!!!
Horny tooted and I
decided two thirds across and both margins. I had only old
maggots and sweetcorn for bait, so I started with the trusty maggot, switching to corn after an hour, hoping for some quality. First put
in I had a small skimmer followed by a tiny roach, then nothing.
After an hour I switched to corn, with no change. Back to
single red on a 20 hook, and at last a roach followed by the occasional
fish. Two hours left with little in the net, decided to feed
more at 10 minute intervals, and this did the trick, although I was pestered by a scaley. At the weigh in I managed 14lbs 11ozs of silvers
and 10lbs 10ozs of carp. What a good day out!!
There were lots of fish
caught, and everybody weighed in with Tonto on peg one winning overall,
and Treasure coming second. The nasty Sheriff just pipped me for
silvers with 15lbs 7ozs. "They'll Come" George
kept going on about the 10lb bream (he says) that got away.
Let's have more
Wednesdays like this please. I just like the smiling faces,
laughter, and of course those little untruths that anglers are known to make.
Sunday it's Avalon, and next Wednesday Trinity Ash.
Bring it on.
