Summerhayes 20.06.21

 Summerhayes 

This week we’re at Summerhayes, Longs, quality venue with a lot of options & always a laugh to be had with venue owner Pete. 

After a chat & giggle with the guys Westy & Kingy ( Chuckle Brothers ) did the draw The Guru Tart drawed for Kingy when he asked him what peg do you want he replied 7 WOW he drew it for him 😳🤣 I drew 25 roadside happy with that, for company I had George to my left & Graham to my right. I had prepped for Carp so my stall was already set, however, I had done a bit to dabble for Silvers but it wasn’t the road I wanted to go down..So I done the tip along the mud bank & micros to the left at 9 metres & paste short also the RH margin, the all in was called I went straight out on the tip for the first 45 minutes with nothing & so did Graham he had one, I could see Jordy Shaw he told me he was fishing for Silvers yeah right - on the tip 🤣🤣 he knows how to talk SXXX🤣👍however, he wasn’t catching neither was Rog on the tip. I could here George complaining no bites, I went on the 9 meters line, I was catching Skimmers quite steady but I wasn’t really there for that if I’d carried on that line I feel I would have framed as I was getting one a chuck. I went on the paste line & immediately hooked two foul hookers that was it, time for the right hand margin nothing apart from liners. I stayed far to long on the paste line & margin. I went back on the tip & had five on the bounce. Graham was catching steady on the tip & George was proper struggling & moaning, he did start to catch late part of the day. I was glad to here the all out not the day I hoped for, Gringe did the job on the tip well done Grand Pops, Kingy second on the peg he was dreaming of being on, oh & Westy well what can I say a nice fat DNW 🤣🤣🤣 Love it he just can’t do me there 🤣🤣🤣👍👍.. 

This Sunday Viaduct Campbell book in with The Guru Tart, see you then, Tight Lines 👍🎣

Avalon 06.06.21

I arrived at the fishery to see all the guys in good stead as normal, Eric - Jordy was giving away some expanders a whole sack full - so there must be something wrong with them cause my gosh is that bloke tight 😁 Guru was on the hunt for a carrier bag but somehow he got most of the bag haha fair play 😁 also George was straight in there, I had to laugh at Locky he took one look at them & curled his lip 😂😂. So on to the draw. Vic was pulling out the peg numbers whilst Matrix Tony was writing in the names. 

I drew 24 happy with that as I had it last time we were here & worked out a few things. On arrival I saw the peg & it was like a carpet of fur - F###...

I set up the tip rod to chuck to the new bank, I also set up two margin rigs one to fish to the far bank & one to the near margin. Long story short I had two carp on the tip at the mud bank & that was it, I couldn’t get a bite on my margin rigs for what ever reason I don’t know as there were plenty of fish there. On 25 was John Davies & he was also struggling. I had enough at three & reluctantly called it a day, I had enough, when I got off my box I could see Sausage he had also had enough & was packing up so I didn’t feel so bad as he’s class. 

I went & seen Kingy as he was near my van, he had struggled & chucked back, Westy came down he packed up he had also struggled. So there it is hard day on a great venue with all the top class boys just shrugging there shoulders. As I drove out I spoke to Dave Allen, Bagger Newll & Jordy boy all saying the same but Bagger managed a run of fish at 2.30 funny how they just turn up, that’s the way it goes from nowhere to somewhere. 

Well done to all the winners & those that caught boy that was a hard frustrating day. 

Shiplate next week, not for me tho I’m having a weekend off 😁👍🎣... 

Tight lines & see you the week after. 😁🎣

Landsend 30.05.21

 Realty not much to write about at all. The fish were either spawning or preparing to. Hardly any positive bites but plenty of foul hookers. That just abouts sums it up. 

Avalon, booking In

 Message from Kingy... 

Please can you book in with Phill to fish Avalon this Sunday by Tuesday 17.00hrs as Vick will charge per peg after the above deadline..

Thanks Guys. 

Trinity- Woodlands 23.05.21

 

This week we were back to Trinity Lakes, Woodlands, this is my first match back after 3 wks due to a bereavement in my family. When I arrived I was met by Tony Fry wearing his new Matrix gear wow he looked like he had his Sunday best on - very smart. Shortly after all the guys started to turn up. We had a good chat whilst Westy & Kingy did the pegging. On to the draw I drew peg 6 happy with that as there’s a lot of options on that peg. The weather was forecasting to be very rough with high winds & a lot of rain & they weren’t wrong, come 11 o’clock it was set in. I started my match slapping with a carp straight away & that was the only one I had on that method. I’d set up a margin rig for right hand side & tip rod rod for the the side pegs that were vacant. I started to Chuck tight to peg 4 which gave me run of fish, that dried up so on to my margin that gave me a couple, back on the tip but that was proving difficult to chuck with acressy. I unclipped & started to Chuck to peg 3 again I had a run of fish which dried up eventually, back to my margin which didn’t feel right as I couldn’t find a flat spot I tried three rigs but none was giving me any confidence tbf fishing the slope in around 3ft. To my left was my Mucca Westy, when I draw next to him he’s a good omen as I get everything right & lead on to a frame plus I give him a class lesson ha 🤣😂

John Wolstencroft fished a blinder weighing in over a Ton, I was told he fished meat short. Bagger Knewll also done well with 2nd Tony Matrix Fry also done well with 3rd. The scales came round & i’d also done Kingy which is rare but nice 😁. Let’s not forget about Onslo he rang in Saturday complaining of a bad back - Westy said is it your back or the weather I’d bet the weather, praps he should go on the reserve list for 12 mths ha 😂 if you know you know 😉. I packed my gear away double quick in the van & gone, I didn’t realise I got a frame for forth so a good day, it was good to be back. We’re at Landsend this Sunday & I’m looking forward to it. Graham mentioned something to me about the blog, I can only say how I see it I don’t know how others fish so if anyone wants to give me an insight to their match please do & I’ll put it up 👍🎣 tight lines guys see you Sunday
