Rain...hail...sun...cold wind and more rain ...oh it must be the HLS gangs weekly trip to Bridgwater ...well the day started bad as i met lord c at street macd's only to find out that the road to Bridgwater was closed at Walton so we did a detour all over the place and when we got to the Sedges Mike told us that the road was open at weekends !!! oh joy
Anyway i paid my pools and was told that we had 19 fishing today as Kev could not make it so the decision was made to leave out peg 20 and looking at the waves in that peg it was the right decision ...
I asked "the best silvers angler in the club" if he wanted a pound side bet and he said no !!! also he said he would win the silvers today and with a ego that big we should all watch out !!
At the draw we all wanted peg 10 or 11 for the carp or peg 8 for the silvers, so into the bucket of dreams and peg 2 was looking at me and i was a bit gutted to be honest but with the wind over my back all day i might get a chance to pick up a few ??
The golden pegs today were peg 1 and 10 , D.T got peg 1 and "lord c's" better looking and younger brother Shane got his mitts on peg 10 !!!
looks nice but not for long !!!
I set up a maggot feeder and a pole rig to fish ground bait and the same rig to fish micros and expanders
At the all in i put a nugget of micros on the 2 o'clock line and a ball of ground bait on the 10 o'clock line and then out on the maggot feeder with a single maggot on the hook thinking i might get a quick bite ...how wrong was i !! A hour in and still blanking ... looking around the only people catching was peg 19 (casting into peg 20) and peg 10 (lord c's much younger brother) ..Danny on peg 4 had 2 better skimmers and Rob was getting a few silvers on peg 11 on the cage feeder.. so out onto the pole line hoping i would get a bite or 2 ...3.5 hours of trying and still no bites i packed up, loaded my kit into the car and went for a walk and sat with Shane on peg 10 who had 3 bites while i was there ..git!
Then i went and sat behind "lord c" on peg 15 just to learn from the master for the last few hours..
Paul (paxo baits) also packed up and came for a chat ..while we sat there i seen Brian catching a few better silvers on tip and Shane on peg 10 get a few more carp ..
At the all out most had packed early so the scales didn't take long so we started on peg 1 with D.T he had 1 bite which was a good skimmer for 2-12 then Brian put on 8-12 of silvers to take the lead Danny had 4-9 and then "best silvers angler in the club" sat on the "best silvers peg" had 5-4 then it was onto Shane on peg 10 who put on 81-2 of carp which was a great weight on a very hard day ...Rob on peg 11 had 7-10 of silvers and wind burn !! And the only other person on the far side to weigh in was big Tony on peg 19 who also had a great catch and he had 33-12..
1st overall Shane peg 10 81-2 and also winning the golden peg (git!!)
2nd overall Tony peg 19 33-12
1st silvers Brian peg 4 8-12
2nd silvers "that man Rob" peg 11 7-10
3rd "the best silvers angler in the club" peg 8 5-4 oh yes we only pay top 2 ...
"best silvers angler in the club"
George wiping the tears from his face when he was told he was 3rd in the silvers !!! again!!!
So a hard day again ....next week the club is at Avalon so please book in with the guru tart !!! And lastly as a club we have a few guys fishing the open match on the river Brue and it looks like it could be a good turn out this year ...last year HLS club members Paul(paxo baits) and Mike were 1st and 2nd so good luck to all that fish ..i am not fishing this weekend as my wife has booked us a weekend away so the guru tart will be doing the Avalon blog ..
