Today nineteen turned
out to fish Avalon, on a warm sunny day with very little wind. The
lads looked and sounded in good form, ready to do the business.
Vic selected the pegs to
be fished, the Golden Peg was twenty one, Tungsten got lucky, and also three
which Tony Newell drew.
I collected the money,
sorted the pools, and paid Vic. Next was the draw. No
surprises, George drew fourteen and moaned, all back to normal, everyone
else would have run to this peg. I got peg twenty, and
was more than pleased. Tungsten was on my left, and an empty peg to
my right.
The car- park emptied
and we trundled off to set up our gear. My platform was large,
giving me plenty of room, just the ticket.
Horny tooted and we got
underway. I persevered with sweetcorn at nine metres, and just the right hand margin From the off it was slow, except, that
was, for the Nasty Sheriff on peg twenty three, who landed a skimmer and a
carp before I had a bite. Tungsten couldn't buy a bite.
As the match progressed
Horny caught a pike, a rare fish on the lakes. Of course we told
him it doesn't count in our matches!! This made the normally noisy
Hedgehog even louder, saying he wants a change in the club rules etc.
Don't tell them your name Pike.
At the final toot we got
on with the weigh in. Vic only did the board, because he had flower
commitments in his village??
The weights were not
bad, "Man With No Name" won overall with 91lbs 6ozs, and
"They'll Come George" won the silvers with 25lbs 7ozs The full
results are below.
On Wednesday we visit Summerhayes Sellicks, and next Sunday it's
Viaducts Campbell which is full.
Let's do it
