Another great turnout for a blustery Lingmere meant that pegging was tight. It didn't stop the venue from providing some excellent sport.
The previous day saw Jamie Hughes win a second fishomania title on a rather disappointing Cudmore. Massive congratulations to him.
Meanwhile, Jamie's star pupil, the almost legendary Dirk Wriggler, was winning the latest Eggymania match by a comfortable margin. An impressive 101lb 03oz left the field trailing in his wake, so well done Derek.
Chasing hard was another Jamie, this time the Pickup variety. He too put in a decent effort and was rewarded with the silver medal for his 65lb 03oz, with plenty of ide featuring in his catch. A nice try from the Jamster.
With the Garbo club angler final just around the corner, how fitting that qualifier Tony Wilson should hit top form at the right time. Having struggled to feature this term, he put on a fabulous display to the tune of 62lb 04oz to complete the frame. Well done to Tony and good luck in the final.
Another JH protégé in the shape of Andy Lawton continued this season's improvement with yet another section win, this time a very good 57lb 07oz did the damage. The Butler strikes again.
Ken Stuart put his venue knowledge to good use as he brought 51lb 05oz to the scales for a section win. Nice one Ken.
I believe the final section winner had a day which epitomised exactly what the club is striving for. Paul Robb was drawn next to Ray Jackson. I don't think they had met before. Everyone warned Robbo he was in for an ear-bashing. With Jacko throwing insults like they were going out of fashion, Paul decided to respond in kind, and some top class banter was exchanged all through the match. With Yozzer still out of action and sitting behind them, and loading the bullets, there were laughs galore, but both men still had time to catch a few fish. Robbo's 53lb 10oz won the day, and the section. Paul wants to fiddle the draw at the next match so he can sit by Ray again.
Robbo's new blueprint for match-fishing is as follows:
Enjoy the day and have a laugh.
If you catch a few then that's a bonus.
Does it really matter who wins?

brilliant yozza, your going to get well soon i hope,
ReplyDeleteas i need some competition. lol
by the way lads, thanks for the chicken dinner.
dirk
I thought I'd put this on here as noone bothers reading the chatbox anymore but just had a call off Yozzer to say only 6 have up to now booked on for Gorsty on sunday, whilst I know it's not to all our tastes amd suits some more than others the fact is that Sunday's match is the Ben Pickup Memorial Match. So come on lads, get ya names down and make the effort to support a club member who had the worst thing in his life happen to him when he lost his little boy. Put the fishing aside it's not about that this match.
ReplyDeleteWell done on a 100lb and a win Dirk. I'd also like to congratulate Jamie on his 2nd fisho win. He's a machine and a top bloke. Good luck to both Yozzer and Tony on Wednesday at Barston the GCAOTY. Hope one of you brings it home.
ReplyDeleteSunday was superb with banter flying all over the place especially from Robbo and Jacko, I think they need their own tv show. It's great to see Robbo out and enjoying his fishing again and listening to him and Jacko on Sunday epitomised what the EggyFerry is all about so thanks for that you pair and please keep it up and Robbo, if ya ever need any advice then Jacko is the man to ask as he taught Jamie all he knows ya know. Yeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaa.
