After the money was sorted, Steve selected the pegs to be used, the Golden Peg being six, which was drawn by Tonto AGAIN. Boy George got the end peg fourteen, leaving me with the last one in which was peg one. This was not what I wanted, it was the second time in three visits; I was not moaning??
We marched smartly off to our positions, and prepared for the battle to come. There was plenty of fighting to be done against those strong old scaleys They may not be so big in this lake, but they sure know how to test your kit..
After half an hour The Chef (Pete Cook) appeared by my side. He had intended to fish today he explained, but after a hard day on his allotment, he came home only to be invited by the widow next door for drinks. Anyway one thing led to another, and after having a problem finding his way home next door!! and waking up with a hangover he arose late. He did insist that this friendship is strictly platonic, so we hope to see you another time old mate.
Sorry not so much about fishing, although the weights were good, mostly carp. Tonto donned his armour when Tivi sent out a distress call; a carp was swimming away with the remains of his pole? Up rode Tonto armed with his ledger rod, after the second cast all was retrieved, plus the carp. Dave's hero must deserve a medal!!
The Nasty Old Sheriff was playing silly buggers, trampling all over his pole and throwing some of his gear into the lake. This did not stop him winning the silvers with 20lbs 7ozs, beating George by a pound, so taking more nuggets off his mates. I reckon "Age Concern" should attend our matches, what if Kev had been fishing, the mind boggles.
Wo2 Bill won overall with 83lbs 15ozs of carp. Mustard, with his second consecutive catch of plus fifty, was second with 56lbs 14os, well done to you both. Thank you everyone for an excellent day.
I am looking forward to next Wednesday and a visit to Avalon
Pick it up, make it ring
