George and I did the pegging, the money business was completed and it was time for the draw. The Golden Peg number four, who got it? The Nasty Old Sheriff AGAIN!! unanimous vote get the Sheriff.
I drew seven sandwiched between Ninja and that man George, I seem to be there every time we fish. He must be getting fed up being thrashed by the next peg
.
Everyone was ready so we were all in at 9-45. I was into fish straight away, mostly small skimmers. Ninja was on the pole!! catching silvers, while George was dropping fish off; nothing changes.
The wind was blowing a hooligan, but down amongst the trees it was not a problem. This must be the best venue we could fish on a day like today. Everyone was fishing the maggot and getting some fish. I was feeling fairly confident as the silvers kept coming, so building a weight. The time was passing and George started catching good silvers, but it was too late and time for the all out.
Danny and I started the weigh with Mustard on peg 10 weighing 7lbs 8ozs, the WO2 Bill 13lbs 1oz, John had 6lbs 15ozs of silvers. Then it was crunch time; Danny on the Golden Peg 4 who weighed 9lbs 9ozs of silvers, but had sneaked in 14lbs 1ozs of unmentionables for a total of 24lbs 4ozs I knew I had beaten him on silvers, but very few carp had shown up.
Next it was Roger with 9lbs, then Eric with one small carp and 1llbs13ozs of ninja, which was good enough for second silvers. Next it was my turn weighing l9lbs 2ozs of silvers. George had 7lbs 6ozs of silvers and a carp, which he swore was at least 10lbs , but it weighed 6lbs 8ozs; he is such a dreamer. Tungsten was last to weigh, he had 8lbs 15ozs of silvers, and 7lbs 13ozs of carp, which meant the Golden Peg had gone, there were lots of tears and a smiling Danny, well done that man.
It was a hard day and it's only September!!
Next we visit Trinity, so let's get busy.
