Hi Guys
Locky just messaged me this for Sundays Match at Sedges this week
Alright shag , I fished sedges today, and the road from dunwear into sedges is closed for 10 days , the only way in is from westonzoyland road, you may want to put it on the blog for Sunday mate
Summerhayes Longs
This week our club hit the above venue with 12 eager competitive Anglers, I quite like it here so all good.
As I drove in I could see Yammy & quickly followed by John Wolstencroft, he made a dive out of his car telling us he needed fresh air - he’d over indulged with an Indian & my gosh he certainly had the wind 💨 🤣🤣
Westy done the pegging me & Yammy done the rest, I drew Yammy at the end & he returned the favor back giving me 34 I wanted this area as I’ve never been down this end before.
I’d done a fair bit of prep on the Saturday - I got out my short F1 tops & put all my rigs on so there ready to go, that’ll save time 😁 14m across was ok until the wind picked up strongly this was my main attack line which was a mare in the wind however I stuck it out for most of the morning I’d also done a down the track line for Silvers - no good a margin line for when ever I thought the Carp were there.
A day of two half’s the morning I’d had all my fish from across & a bit in the afternoon when I could get on it without getting my pole blown away. The afternoon was spent foul hooking Carp too many to mention a complete mare I don’t get it I done everything I could think of to limit this but nothing was working just another foul hooking day 😳
When I spoke to Yammy he had the same problem & also did Stan & Westy.
A couple of the guys fishing Sellicks open asked me how I got on they said they’d had the same problem on there so maybe water depths who know but that would explain things. Next week we won’t have any problems with depths as we’re at Sedges & the Kiddy to look out for is my Mucca Locko he’s been smashing it down there on the Silvers winning a festival & a Fry’s match yesterday 😁😁👍👍🎣🎣
See you there not sure how much space is left so give Guru Beardsy a ring to book in 👍
Landsend Lake 2
So this week we at the above, Locko & Rich Coles have taken this week off to fish the festival at Sedges after a quick catch up last night Locky & Richie had won 🏆 for the second year in a row, well done boys, Legends 😁
So I was the first to arrive with Guru turning up next, the weather was awful P@@@ing it down but set to clear up for 10 o’clock. In the car park I was chatting to John W he was telling me about how he can’t get to grips with hard pellet fishing 🎣 also Ducky was telling Guru how he was gonna do him this week on the Silvers & true to his word he did lol 😂 well I think he done us all, not surprising after he was there yesterday & he knew what to expect - which leads me on to this..
When me & Stan went down to the lake to our surprise it was less than half full, I said not for me I’m going but I didn’t, we only had around 18” of water maybe 2ft at best & I mean best, you’d get a nose bleed sat on the platforms they were that far up.
So on a more positive note the sun was set to come out & it’ll be a nice day no matter what yeah no matter what 😳
I drew 24, Great - run to that one as any Angler that fishes for Carp would do on its day it’s a Flyer, to my left was Stan & Fletch nice line up really across was Simon Gardner which worked in my favor as I could probably read my peg by his & he’s good Angler to follow.
So my eggs are in one basket Carp with a Silvers line just in case, Carp lines are easy long down the right margin where the Carp live & a Carp line to the vacant platform next to me.
I never thought the weather was going to play such a big part in my match ? The sun never really got to me so my peg was in the shade all day, I went out first on the Silvers line as I was waiting for my Carp lines to go I had a Tench then a F1 & another but I made the Cardinal Sin of my Carp Lines god knows why but I concentrated on them all day even tho the Silvers line was producing I don’t know what was in my head apart from a carp peg, I was hooking Carp most of the day but foul hooking due to well I don’t know Simon was struggling & Stan was having a few then I had a run hooking them in the mouth then back to foul hooking again, the air wasn’t blue it was black. Hindsight’s a wonderful thing I should have gone for Silvers it was ok I briefly went on it during the day & probably chucked 8lb back tbf, I was the last to be weighed in, I couldn’t be bothered I chucked back my Carp I was out of it anyway, the weather was my enemy today no sun 🌞 on the water so it was cold 🥶 & so was I.
On to the next see you at Summer Hayes Longs I believe 🎣🎣
Unfortunately no blog as I had to pull out due to a trapped nerve in my neck, however, Locky sent me a brief message this morning saying it wasn’t his day. He had a day on the Silvers but in hindsight he should have gone for Carp. Hopefully I will be back Sunday for Landsend
Memorial Trinity Woodlands
So today was a bit of a special Day, the day we remember Two great guys as I’ve said before but this one is the second match in their name.
When I arrived Guru & Matrix were already there. Guru telling Matrix about his new rods coming but unfortunately there’s no date for an ETA & Six Rods he’s going fore lol 😂 he was also on about his new box again no ETA but late November its due date, I asked him why he’s getting the White Absolute & his reply was because your getting one 🤣🤣 lol 😂 fair play.
Shortly after Nick Ducky Junior turned up waving his new Silvers / F1 tip rod around after he had a bargain on it.
On to the import bit now, the presure was on a Silvers Match, all good but so many Silver Anglers all wanting the win, I wanted low 20’s as all good Silvers pegs & they normally hang around that end, but not to be I drew 7 Great NOT My Day was doomed from there. A good Carp Peg as I was going to prove.
For company I had Rob E on 6 again a great Carp peg as he said - his words not mine I’m going at 1pm on my left Westy great to see him back after his hols & time out 🌞
Bagger Newell then Silvers Man himself Rich Coles my day just gets better 😳
All in at 10, 13m Gb & Maggots that could go with any hookers I feel may work, save me messing about nothing did apart from - Carp & a short line that can also work well for Silvers - oh it worked for - Carp 😳
That’s my day Carp Carp & more Carp after nearly loosing my top 3 on - Carp, that was enough & I’d had a gut full so 2 o’clock I called it a day.
Rob E fished the tip all day & caught steady well done to him he was still there when I went & fair play for a guy that was going at 1 he went on to win 🥇 when I chucked the cage feeder out I caught yep - Carp 😳
Westy was also doing ok he was catching Silvers with some carp in the mix he gave me a Skill School Lesson same for Bagger.
It was a ok day, it was what it was nothing I could do really see you at Avalon. Guru has spoken to Vic we have the road side Pegs 26-45
I believe my mate is back this week after being stuck in Spain last week. I’ll look forward to it 😁🎣
Hi Guys,
Phill has asked me to inform you all that there is a Lake change for the 16th October 22. After speaking to Jamie he has told him that the Canal will not be available due to water levels being down, he has kindly given us Brick Lake as a replacement.
Thanks,
Shaun.
Sedges 11th September
As normal Sunday only means one thing club day, as I walked my dog on Saturday I spoke to my Mucca Locko for some info on today’s match he put me right on a few things with this lake as I’m not a usual so much as I probably should be. I think that’s going to change tho as it’s a quality fishery to have as a venue not to mention the on site cafe.
I met Guru & Matrix Fry at 7 for a breakfast also joining us was Graham Burge nice to see him back so let’s give him a nick name Budgy Burge 😀🎣
As we came out of the cafe it was a great vibe going round the venue was packed two matches on today & some faces I’ve not seen for a while one was Dave Romain Colmic Master in this area so a nice catch up with him.
On to the draw & I’ve got peg 8 a good line up on are side Richie Coles down the bottom then Rog followed by Matrix Fry, he wasn’t to happy with him draw tbf but as we discussed in the cafe his outlook seem to be good Pellet wag Bomb & edge seems like a good plan. Jordy Searle was also in the mix on this side he would be hard to beat on the tip. For company I had Guru to my left & bagger knewll to my right followed by Budgy up in the corner. I’m thinking is it going to be a Silvers day after a quick message to Locky in Spain telling me it’s a good Silvers peg Shag.
I’ve gone on the tip to the rope knowing I’ll catch both Silvers & carp, sure enough a carp second chuck, with quick 3 minute casts I was into skimmers so I cracked on with that & started to feed my pole lines for Skimmers.
The tip dried up after about an hour so onto the pole both short lines however the two plus one was the best by far, I could see Fletch catching well Carp & Silvers & also carp doing him, Guru was struggling but he managed a few Bagger was doing very well no surprise there lol 😂 Legend, also John W was straight across he was on them & going well the rest of the other side didn’t seem to be to busy, I kept my head down & cracked on as I guessed I was doing ok ?? Guru called the all out at 4 so how was the scales going to go? I helped Danny & Bagger with the weigh in & took some photos.
Next week I’m not there as I’m having some time out with the wife in the caravan pitty as I’m going to miss Terry & Dick’s memorial match at Trinity, so I’ll see you the week after at Avalon. I’ll ask one of the guys to do a blog for the memorial match 👍🎣
