Xmas Match 28.12.22

 

Locky was good enough to send me his write up as I wasn’t there, thank you buddy. 

Shaun. 

Today we had our, rescheduled Christmas match at trinity. 

With 20 people fishing and the weather forecast for wind and rain, it was never going to be a big weight day, 💨🙈

First on the day was Tony Fry with 28lb 12oz winning a very nice hamper and getting his name on the trophy ( much to Phil’s discussed 😂😂) well done Tony. 

First in silvers was Mr Slim Selway with 11lb 13 oz also picking up a hamper, well done Nick. 

Well done to all framers 🎣🎣

Every member who fished today went home with a box off sweets, box of biscuits and a bottle of wine, 

Special thanks to Tony and Gail, for sorting out the hampers and buying the gifts 

On behalf of the club I would like to wish Phil all the very best for his operation next week, and a speedy recovery, there’s a few members in the club who’s weekly £1 will be missed. 

Don’t forget the AGM on Friday 6 January . 

Happy new year all x

Xmas Match rescheduled

 Hi Guys,

Phill has rescheduled the Xmas Match to Wednesday the 28th December, Phill is currently ringing around members putting numbers together. 

Thanks,

Shaun.

Xmas Match cancelled 18.12.22

 This morning I met Locky & Phill at Woodlands to inspect the lake for tomorrow’s Xmas Match, Locky brought his ice breaker, unfortunately the whole lake was covered in a very thick blanket of ice probably around 2” thick. 

The decision was made to cancel the match & reschedule. I believe Phill is going to ring around & let people know. I’d like to wish you all a great Xmas & New Year & I’ll see you in the New Year 😁🤶⛄️🎣

Thanks,

Shaun 

Heads up for the Xmas Match

 Woodlands is being monitored this week by Locky at present there is a half inch sheet of ice on the lake. 

Please bring your Ice Breakers for Sunday hopefully all will be well but it’s always a good idea to be prepared to break the ice if. needed  ? 

Thanks 

Shaun 

Avalon 11.12.22

Tony Knewll sent me the sheet ass Yammy packed up early. There were quite a  lot of no shows !!! 

I canceled on Tuesday when the focast was set for ice, with the road to Avalon probably not treated it was a no brainer for me…

Bagger Knewll Westy & Yammy smashed the ice for the pegs. They fished a

match & went home - simple as that 🤣🤣🤣

Summerhayes 04.12.22

 Summer Hayes longs04.12.22

So went to the above fished a match & went home lol 😂 

Grim it was but I have to try & write something about nothing so here goes bare with me because it’s going to be a riveting read.. 

I pulled into the car park & there were a few there already. We have longs & Pete has also booked his own match on there aswell, we have the road bank & his open have the other side - a full lake. 

I drew 29 I’d already sorted my day & that was going to be dobbing as long as I had the right peg ?

I also used my little 7ft Preston Wonzee for fishing a small pellet feeder which came in handy as I had a empty peg to my right, that gave me the option to get further along the bank out of the pole reach it did produce a carp & a couple of liners. Across I had some reeds to my right only thing was there were snags amongst them. 

Anyway I had three Carp all day which I lost two, dobbing the far bank oh & a skimmer for a lb & a few roach off the other lines.

The end…

For company it was good Stan to my left & Yammy One up. 

Bagger Knewll was doing ok on the tip & Stan had three or four. Lead Heads 🤣🤣🤣

There you go told it was going to be gripping 🧐 

See you next week at Avalon, tight Lines
