Fourteen of
"F" for fish company of Dad's Army turned out for muster on a very
pleasant Wednesday morning. Looking around I thought it must
be sick parade, especially George, who had a very large swelling on his face,
which brought some unkind comments from his so called mates.
Fair play to you George, it didn't keep you in bed.
Misha and Lilly looked
after our needs today. I did the business, assisted by the
Sheriff. The pegs were selected, twenty nine being the golden one,
which was drawn by Tivi Dave.
The draw completed, we
trooped off to our positions ready for the assault. I was sandwiched
between Danny and George, a rose between thorns!!
Nothing complicated
today, just caster and maggot, with not even a sniff of ground
bait, twenty hook, two pound line, I would start with
maggot, moving on to caster. At ten o'clock I was tooled up, so I
phoned Marilyn and ate a doughnut, then I shouted all in.
It took about half an
hour to start catching, in which time Danny had a flyer with three to
four pounds of silvers in his net. George had a nice sized
perch, and I was playing catch up. I could see quite a lot of the
lads, who all seemed to be getting a few fish, turning it out to be a very good
match. Even Tonto got his second carp after twenty plus hours
of fishing.
Three o'clock came all
to soon, and it was all out with the weigh in to come. Ninja on peg
six won overall, with the Wizard second. I was second
silvers, my bag contained a tench, perch, skimmers, and some good
roach. Danny took my nugget with 19lbs 5ozs to my 18lbs
3ozs.
Today 110lbs of silvers
were caught, with six double figure weights, and just under 90lbs of carp; not
bad for November.
On Sunday
it's Summerhayes longs, and next Wednesday its Avalon.
I want your bodies.
Lets catch fish.
