Wednesday 10th January 2018 - Avalon

What a change in the weather, the sun was shining, not much wind, and nine degrees;  he must be looking down on Dad's Army.  Ten of us fished, all in good cheer, parting with their ackers, George rather reluctantly

The business was completed and it was time for the draw.    Danny chose the pegs, the golden one was number eleven, which was drawn by Rob.   We were well spread out, and hoped for a reasonable catch.  Only one of the ten was fishing for carp,   no surprise it was Ninja Eric.

I got seventeen with Mustard on my right, who still has not got a pole!   Three pegs to my left was the Nasty Old Sheriff.

At the all in, from the start it was a repeat of Sunday, with lots of small roach on a single maggot.   Mustard was catching a little better quality with caster, and the Sheriff was getting his usual good bag on peg twenty.

The guys were strangely quiet, maybe because they were spread out, or could it be they were catching fish.   At the all out , it was pack up and on with the scales.   I was expecting a close finish.

Ninja on peg twenty caught all the carp in the match, and took overall with 22lbs 6ozs   The silvers were won by Danny, just 2ozs in front of Rob on the golden peg, and 3ozs in front of me, with all the other weights close behind;  a proper match.   Full results below.

                  On Sunday it's Sedges, and next Wednesday we return to Trinity.
