Jamie and Denise made us welcome, Denise with the drinks while Jamie and I sorted the business and pegs to be fished. After this was done, we were ready for the draw. The lads were keen and could not wait for the assault. Boy George as usual was not happy with his peg, neither was The Nasty Old Sheriff, just another day at the office.
I drew thirty two, with Ninja on thirty one and Bend It thirty three, so I expected abuse from one side, and plenty of splashing and disturbance from the Ninja.
All in, and today was nothing special, corn, corn, and more corn over ground bait mix; I am such a cheap-skate. It was six sections straight out to wait for the skimmers to arrive. While I waited Bend It started the verbal, saying it's nice fishing next to an empty swim!!! your rubbish Bob, and more, there was just one way to beat that, catch fish. So I did, until the scaley varmints came to mess up my gear and bully my fish. I still had 35lbs of silvers, only to finish second to that moaning old git George, who had an excellent 38lbs plus 44lbs12ozs of carp. Another day another nugget.
The main story of the day was Ninja with 310lbs4ozs, this falls just short of the record. It took eight weighs, and my abacus nearly ran out of beads making the calculation. What a great day for Aye Man!!! Well done you old dog.
There were a lot of good weights, and the match yielded just short of 1009 lbs from the seventeen anglers. A big thank you to the guys on the scales, I trust you slept well.
A safe journey home to our guests. Thanks Sedges for a great day.
Next Wednesday it's Avalon, another great venue.
Let's keep at it. PHONE PLEASE
Bob
P.S. Bend It had a DNW!! No smiling
