Wednesday 4th Oct 2017 - Shiplate Hawthorns

The lad's were tackling Hawthorns Shiplate today, which is always a good venue for the Wednesday veterans.    Froggy Morgan is back with us today, so another challenge for the silvers.

Steve and Carol made us welcome and sorted out the pegs, while I extracted the cash from the reluctant, to pay our dues, and sorted the pools.

Everything was Shiplate shape so we made the draw.   George got the Golden Peg nine, with myself on ten.   Bad Boy was very happy and confident; he didn't stop jabbering all through the match.   Fishing for silvers was difficult, but there were plenty of carp to be caught, mostly a manageable size.

From start to finish I was struggling, but fairly confident I was beating George on silvers; which proved to be correct at the weigh in.   But that Sneaky Old B........... had changed his religion and caught carp, which was enough to win overall and the Gold too; OBVIOUSLY NOT TO BE TRUSTED!!

Big Bird won the silvers with 21lbs 4ozs, Froggy was second,  and myself third.   Tonto got second overall with 45lbs 6ozs.   George won with 68lbs 8ozs;  well done you old dog.    There was just a ray on sunshine on the day; I collected the nuggets!!

       On Sunday we visit Landsend, and Wednesday we fish Match Lake Viaducts.

                                Come and get it.
