Lathoms 29th May 2016

                                                           AND THE WINNER IS

The day started for some with a superb breakfast at the Toby Carvery Ormskirk , for those without the ability to use a knife and fork it was Mcdonalds.

The lake was alive with fish but they had other thing on their mind rather than feeding.
Most people struggled to start with but by the end everybody managed to catch a few.
The Cookie monster sporting a new haircut after his switch from the Jackson 5 to Bronski Beat was bite-less after 2 hours on peg 1. However not one to waste a flyer he managed to claw himself
back into the running and managed to finish last in the section.
In the same section was Dennis who managed to master the situation and finished with a section win and his 56-1 lb haul and overall 1st place.
Expert bluffing from DJ on what he had gave a  glimmer of hope to Lee and Davy Harrop
however it was only a glimmer and both were beaten soundly.
Dave though dissapointed in not getting the section win had the satisfaction of his 41lb giving him 3rd overall on the day.
Tony Wilson suffering the effects of a bucket full of ale could not be denied netting 37-9 lb for another section win , loose fed Alka Seltzer and Resolve seemed to do the trick.
A first visit to the venue did not deter Colin "the machine " Cook who enticed 38-13 lb of Lathoms finest into the net for his section win.
In what was described by Patto as the section of doom Maver Chris tickled out enough  to leave last weeks runaway winner in his wake, 33-6 lb was enough to leave the hand of the Jolly giant empty.
Finally Dirk fresh from his handbags at 5 paces spat had a mixed bag of Ide , Chub , F1's and Carp in the onion bag for 44-4 lb and second overall.

In summary good weather , good sport and good banter and not a ball of crushed pellet in sight.

Thanks go to me and Davy H who did the weigh in as usual and Sumo for pegging it so everybody on the left bank had at least 3 pleasure anglers to hit when shipping back

Cheers
