HLS Angling Wednesday 28th February Sedges Brick

It was minus 5-6 degrees with a sixteen mph wind from the east!!    One would think this was a recipe for disaster.  Jamie had the aerators on all night, which gave our six heroes seven ice free swims on Brick to choose from.

Dad's Army all had to do an ENDURANCE and SURVIVAL test.   Did these old timers pass?  They definitely failed the intelligence exam!!   So why were they there?  Needless to say the ice free pegs were all facing into the wind, but who cared.

You could not believe the craic and optimism there was when they were drinking their hot drinks  waiting for the draw.    The Golden Peg was four.    Into the hat went the paws, all hoping for peg ten, which was in a sort of comfort zone, and Boy George got lucky.

Everyone fished pinkie or maggot with nothing technical, we just prayed for a bite.   Three got lucky, with Bend It amassing 13 lbs 10 ozs  which included a lovely tench.   The Sheriff was second with 9lbs  2ozs of skimmers.

Nothing more to report, only to say BRRR.  I do enjoy playing fishing with this great bunch of blokes.

     Next Wednesday it's Viaducts, the lake to be decided according to the conditions.  No doubt we will be the only chaps using this wonderful venue, so let's try for a good turnout.

                            Smart and in numbers
