There were thirteen well turned out men of Dad's Army, all with plenty of chat, so the atmosphere was great. The biggest topic of conversation was the absence of Boy George; his eyes are in a bad way. I phoned him on Wednesday night, he said he went straight to the hospital after the match, and he had been given an appointment for the next day. I visited him on Thursday, when he opened the door he was dressed in a robe, I thought he must be a sheik or a rabbi, then he spoke (you all right Bob) Anyway the update is, he is waiting for a date to have an operation. He is driving his wife Pauline mad, because he is bored. I believe a little prayer for the hospital staff could be in order.
Back to our match, after all the business was sorted, it was onto the draw, with 9 the Golden Peg, this was drawn by Wo2 Bill. Recently the silvers have come from the middle pegs. I was left with 17 next to Baz on my right. Big Bird at end peg 21, and The Nasty Old Sheriff in 10, most had an empty peg on one side, so there was plenty of room.
Baz and I both fish for silvers, we were tackling it very differently today. Baz was fishing up in the water with caster and maggot for roach and rudd, while I was fishing with corn and ground bait for the larger bream and skimmers. Baz had a very busy day, he had 27lbs of whitebait at the weigh, making my eight fish for 16lbs 4ozs look small, but this did include a 2lb golden tench, well worth coming for.
The silver weights were not that great, but Rob on peg 21 hauled in 142lbs 12oz, beating Ninja who had 91lbs 13ozs. Everyone caught fish, and it was another great day out with the lads.
Next Wednesday we visit Sedges Brick, so plenty of fish.
Make it ring
