How many times do you turn up at Lingmere, take a look at the lake, and think..... conditions might be ok today. Then, as soon as some idiot shouts "all in", the wind instantly picks up and spoils pre-match plans.
This week, those plans included a 'How do I beat Sumo, who's on peg 20 and has brought the awesome Jigga rig with him?' strategy.
Pegged next door, Dave Lynch formulated a plan and then executed it perfectly. It went something like this: Offer John a £2 side bet, start catching from the off, then after 2 hours tell him the Caernarvon is open. Sumo duly packs up, hands over the sovereign and toddles off to the pub...... job done. Spadger ended up with a respectable 39lb 14oz, good enough for victory, so well done Dave.
Taking conditions into consideration, Lee Pickup decided upon a 'tip only' plan. After an hour he was on the short pole and bagging??? A cheeky 35lb 12oz eased him into second place. Nice one Lee, good plan.
While 3/4 of the field couldn't fish comfortably at 5 metres, Col Cook somehow managed to wield 19 metres for the entire match, and was rewarded with a bronze medal, 30lb 05oz being enough for a deserved podium spot. Well done you Crazy Fool.
Reflecting the differing conditions in different areas of the lake, section winners were as follows: Dirk Wriggler 23lb 12oz, Dennis Jones 24lb 14oz, John Rogers genuinely had F A (well 5lb 09oz is near enough), Dave Harrop 10lb 11oz, and Tony Wilson, away from his beloved peg 31, still managed 29lb 12oz.Well done to everyone on a difficult day.

Gud write up yet again yoz,after an hour on the tip and only a few f1s 2 show 4 it,i had 2 make another plan altho i did intend not 2 bring the pole until i woke up and there was no wind so decided 2 take it,gud job realy,fed at 5mtrs from the start and luckily it paid off in the later stage of the match,altho a switch 2 punched bread on the hybrid feeder did produce sum better quality f1s altho did have 2 wait a while 4 the tip 2 go round.considering the conditions i had quite an enjoyable day on there witch doesnt happen often on there 4 me lol.The reason summo left early was 2 have a go of his new scales as he was that excited.Well done 2 spadge on the win,good job u drew that flyer otherwise i think u may have bin joining summo lol.Well done 2 all who framed.
ReplyDeleteIt's ok drawing a flyer ( which 21 isn't ) but knowing what to do when you draw one ( which sumo clearly doesn't 😀😀 )
ReplyDeleteWas bloody freezing with the rain in my face for a good 2 hours but there where fish to be caught when I found them.
Well done on the win Spadgey and well done to all who framed. A special well done of course must go to Sumo who got to the Narv before they even opened, well done fat cunt. Fair play to all who stuck it out "mad dogs and englishmen" springs to mind. Was gutted I missed this as I had to keep the country on its feet and keep Yozzer and all the other falanderes in the lifestyle their accustomed too. See you all Sunday.
Delete"keep the country on its feel"....behave pmsl
DeleteIt was actually "keep the country on its FEET".
Delete21 not a flyer hhhmmmmmmm???????
ReplyDeleteThere all flyers when someone else wins off em..........
ReplyDeleteIt is a decent peg though, when the fish aren't out of reach in the bay.
ReplyDeleteBig thanks to yozzer though who told me where he caught last time he was on it. Spot on info Yozz.
