Dad's Army were fishing Sedges today, and luckily we were on Tile,
which meant most of the lads were sheltered from the extremes of the
weather. Alas two, namely "Bend It" and myself, had the
full frontal of the wind and rain.
There were eleven of us fishing, and despite everything the lads
were having the craic, parting with their money willingly?? Jamie was
paid, all the hot drinks consumed, and it was off to the bank.
At that moment it decided to bucket it down, that's Sods Law.
Tivi drew the Golden Peg number twenty four, he commented it was
safe enough, but time would tell. I shouted all in, and immediately
Bend It was landing a skimmer, the bad news for him, it was the first of only
three he caught all day,and this on the peg he won when he was last here with
fifty pounds plus.
Bend It and I were viewing the opposite bank with envy.
With about an hour to go, he decided to exercise his gout and get warm on
the far bank. He returned with the news that everyone was
catching, which was great, as it meant the fish were coming on to feed after,
what has been a long lean spell for most of us.
I was so cold I had to be reminded to shout the all out.
Jamie weighed us in, and there was a definite rise in the average
weights.
Super star Big Bird won overall with 25lbs 1oz, and his was the
best silver weight also. Bolton George won silvers by default, with
Wee Willy second. It was good to see new boy Mustard get second
overall, as he professes to only catching fish intermittently!
Full results below. Well done the lads.
Next Wednesday it's
Trinity, The weather is improving.
Get on the Dog and Bone!
