Wednesday 6th December 2017 - Emerald Pools

Dad's Army were at Emerald Pools on a cold December day, but what a match!!!     I don't think anyone felt cold , they were too busy catching fish.   I arrived early to have a chat with Alan, and then the lads started to make themselves heard, namely Horny.    He is always buying something, and today it was a new woolen tit-for-tat, green, with a turtle prettily embroidered on the front, donated by one of his older lady customers?

George and Martin went off to peg the lake, which should only take twelve comfortably, but there were thirteen of us today,  so it was a bit of a squeze.

At the draw George got what he believed to be the best silvers peg, with Martin to his right, and they duly weighed in first and second.   Roger had the Golden Peg, but it was not his day.   Ninja, next to myself, fished for two hours on the ledger for nought, put his pole just out over the rushes with corn, and amassed 63lbs 4ozs of quality carp.

Everyone was catching, and my day was good with 29lbs 5ozs , but I was only an also ran.  I did managed a 13lbs 8oz carp on my twenty hook, and two pound bottom.

As can be seen by the results sheet below, no one went home early, and we will do it again in the New Year.

A big thank you to Alan and all the lads who helped with the pegging and weighing,  I'm afraid this old git ain't up to all of it: no rude comments please.

The AGM is not far away,  FRIDAY JANUARY 5th, 7-30 at the 37 Club.   Anyone with suggestions or items for the agenda, MUST put them in writing to myself not later than the 20th December.   There will NOT be A.O.B on the night, only matters on the agenda will be discussed.

     On Sunday it's Trinity, and Dad's Army will be attacking Campbell at the
                                     Viaducts on Wednesday.

                        So come on "Hands off cocks on with socks" Let's be having you.
