At Avalon today there
were seventeen of the lads trying their luck. Ron was looking
after us, he had sorted the pegs, so everything was ready. I just
had to collect the money, settle the bill, and sort the pools.
We were then ready for
the draw, the Golden Pegs were nine and twenty five, which were drawn by
Treasure and Stan the Man. I drew twenty, and was sandwiched
between Horny Hedgehog and Bad Boy George! There was going to be a lot
of chat over the next six hours, and not much of it complimentary.
It was ten o'clock,
Horny tooted, and we got underway. My idea was to catch in as
close as possible using sweetcorn over ground bait, and hope it's the larger
skimmer and bream that takes the bait. I had to be patient and wait
for the float to move, but it's the larger fish that I catch, and after
two hours I was thinking of a sizable bag. After midday it
went quiet, with just another five fish in four hours, but I still weighed
18lbs 12ozs of silvers, enough for second. Bad Boy George
weighed 18lbs so was beaten by his next peg AGAIN. That clown
Horny reckoned he would get a nugget off me with three carp, but as Eric would
say "they are only Ninjas" so more good news.
Man with No Name won the
sivers withe 23lbs 15ozs, and overall went to Tony Newell with 94lbs 4ozs, he's
never out of it. Chef was second with 88lbs.
There were plenty of
fish caught in very good weather. How else could a group of 'gentlemen'
spend their day.
Next Sunday it's the Viaduct, and on Wednesday we're at Trinity Woodlands.
Until then
Chair Bob
