Sunday 26th November 2017 - Sedges Brick Lake

The HLS crew were at the poplar sedges fishery in Bridgewater and the battle ground was brick lake. when me and lord C got there the wind was very cold and blowing  into the right hand side bank so a draw 1-10 would be nice as the wind would be  over your back and 11-20 it would be in your chops all day ..

I collected the golden peg money and paid my pools, i then had a chat to Eric who informed me that it was going to be a very tough day.Then the guru tart turned up !!!! only to inform  us that he was only wearing orange pants from now on !!! also he wants a guru logo duvet cover ... last year it was Preston this year it is guru and i did hear that next year he might be going over to Maver .

Anyway at the draw i would have liked pegs 10 or 11 as they are the best pegs on the lake for carp ..well in Somerset...possibly the UK ..so who would get there mitts on these pegs ..

The golden pegs were 2,13

I went into the draw dag and pulled out peg 4 and to be honest i was happy as i was going to have a go at the silvers and this area is good for them

I made my way up to my peg only to find  lord C on peg 5 and D.T on 3 then Danny turned up on golden peg 2 .....”writing on the wall” i could Ross on golden peg 13 then looked to see that mike was on peg 11 but i was thinking that he would be going for silvers so peg 10 was looking good for the overall win!!! I then sat on my box and looked left towards 10 on to see that “the tart” was on it and smiling like the cat who got the cream , Christ if he win again i taking up golf !!!

I set up a bomb with bread punch ,a small pellet feeder, also 2 pole rigs for silvers .

On the all in i put a small amount of micros and dead reds at 8 meters and a small ball of dark G/b at 13 meters and went out on the bomb and  bread ....after 30 minutes of searching and no bites i got the pole out and tried the 8 m line then the 13 m only to still be blanking after 2 hours  ...so back out on the bomb searching the peg ..and to be honest i didn’t see much being caught and this is how my day went ..

Bob on peg 8 was getting a bite every put in and Danny had 2 skimmers.. so it looked like the silvers were going to be between them

Then Danny hooked and lost a big fish and then hooked and landed a 13lbs carp  so i chucked out the pellet feeder on my pole line at 13 meters ...with 10 minutes to go i had a rap around on the feeder and landed a carp and that was my only bite all day ...

I was glad to hear the “all out”

We started the scales on golden peg 2 and Danny put on  16-12  then bob put on 11-12 of silvers (well done sir) and  then graham had 13-10 to go 2^nd overall on peg 9 and then it was the hot peg 10 !!!! I was thinking 100-150 lbs from this peg today  then the tart pulled his net out and put on 72lbs  ...sorry i mean 7-2 lbs and after lots of piss taking  it was over to mike on peg 11  who had 3-3 of silvers... then lots of DNW and the last was Mr fry on 19 who had 14-6 ...

What a hard day you just couldn’t get a bite but a close match ..well done to Danny who won 1^st overall and the golden peg and to bob who won the silvers you pair of old gits !!!!

1^st Danny 16-12                                                 1^st silvers bob 11-12

2^nd tony fry 14-6                                                2^nd silvers Paul 3-8

3^rd Graham 13-10                                              3^rd silvers mike 3-3
