We were at Avalon
fishery today, with Ron looking after us, weighing in and all; he is a real
good bloke. There were twelve of the lads on parade today,
brave they were!!!
The wind was howling
straight down the lake, and everyone wanted to draw the sheltered number one
peg, which is very unusual! Chef Pete got
one, and Tonto drew the Golden Peg ten. I had the not so fancied
three, with George on four. There were no long poles today,
just five sections were difficult, we had to be thankful the rain held
off.
I shouted all in, and
off we went. Nothing complicated, I fed little and often maggot
caster and I bought some flouro!! who knows. So with flouro
and red on the hook I was fishing at ten metres. A quarter of an
hour in and I had my first skimmer, and it was not long before a 2lbs plus
bream followed into the net. I was getting the occasional
bite with generally a good fish up until 12-30, and then just three fish to
kill off my hopes.
George was giving a
running commentary on all the fish the others were catching further up the lake,
but he was catching just a few minnows and threatening to go home. Pete took his time and landed a nice carp on light gear, but it was all pretty
tough going.
As can be seen from the
results, the silvers were mainly on the middle pegs with Big Bird coming
out on top with 18lbs 2ozs on peg nine. Danny on peg seven with
12lbs 10ozs, and Bend It on peg twelve with 12lbs 7ozs. Ninja
topped overall with 43lbs 8ozs on peg thirteen, Danny was second, he had two
lumps for 21lbs 5ozs plus his silvers.
On Sunday we visit Sedges Brick, and next Wednesday, back to Sedges, but on Tile lake.
Let's do it!!
