Wow, what a shocker! 11 dry nets out of 17 anglers tells it's own story. Even the winner, Gary Chambers, would hardly describe the action as prolific, as he weighed in 6 carp for 14lb 13oz. Gary fished at 16metres and rang the bait changes to pick off the odd fish.
Pegged next door, and second, was Ken Pickup, with 10lb 12oz. He had 3 carp in the first 20 minutes, and a further 3 carp in the last hour, all on maggot, again at 16metres.
That man Chopper Wilde crept into the money again, catching a handful of small ide and two carp, all hooked in the top lip!!! His weight was 6lb 04oz.
Dave Cargill won a section with 2 maggot-caught carp for 4lb.
Oops! the other section prize slipped quietly into the lottery peg fund, as no-one managed so much as a bite!
Congratulations to the other money winner on the day, John alias Sumo managed to take a nugget off Norman...hehe, his solitary carp, caught on the first chuck, gave him the incentive to stay for the full five hours.
Finally, I must mention Mr Heald. Hero to zero in 24 hours! Saturday saw him deliver a stunning performance in Wirral's match at Conway, winning with an incredible 126lb, but today his float tip remained dry, as he was a blanker, doh!

Ah poor John Heald - fate really that'll teach him, making silly whooping noises every time he had a bite on sat as he felt it in his knackers! Strangly silent at Lloyds Meadow then!

That sums it up nicely Norm. OK the fishin was.........but I can honestly say it was taken mainly in good humour, with plenty of friendly banter, which for me is the reason we have club outings. GREEN ARMY!!!
ReplyDeleteNotorious right bank?? Notorious for throwing up the winning weights eh Norm?
ReplyDeleteThink the whole venue was notorious on Sunday. Peg 8 is definitely notorious....or should that be numptorious?
ReplyDeleteRoll on the summer, GREEN ARMY.
