It was Ruby today, and Boy George, the course specialist, helped me with the pegging. All the money was done, so we started a little early, and got what is already good value for money. Also today we had a £10 voucher donated by Somerset Angling. To win it one had to catch the biggest crucian in the match. I can't name a winner as there were none caught, so the prize will go to the angler catching the biggest tench at Sedges next Wednesday.
Back to Wednesday, it was all in and busy from the off I could see the Nasty Old Sheriff and Baz catching, with Boy George off to a flyer., all of them fishing on the other side of the lake. I was drawn next to Mustard, and had nice plump roach, skimmers and hybrids entering my net. It did not last. The sun appeared over the trees and "it wasn't half hot mum" My bites got fewer and fewer, and just like my last three matches, I caught well for an hour and half, then little else.
The match progressed until four o'clock when I shouted all out. I packed up and Danny and I started the weigh in. Tungsten was first to weigh putting 23lbs 8ozs os silvers on the scales. Baz was next saying what a good venue this is, weighing 23lbs 10ozs of silvers. Then it was the Sheriff, denying more than 15lbs, but weighing 25lbs of silvers. It was Tivi next with 13lbs 3ozs, and last on that side of the lake was hot favourite George with 25lbs 2ozs of of silvers and one carp to justify the betting market. (I owe you a nugget George)!!
We were also rans on our side of the lake, but we all caught fish, myself with 17lbs 3ozs of silvers and a carp. It was a good match, with little separating the top four.
Our thanks to Somerset Angling and to Emeralds.
Next Wednesday its Sedges Brick, and the biggest old rubber lips tench.
Until then,
Bob
