Shalla , shalla shalla or shalla shalla shalla shalla shalla ?
Only Tony Wilson has the answer.


15 of the Eggy's finest fished our home fishery on Sunday and nobody was disapointed.
Total catch for us was 940lb 5oz on a great day for all.
Split into 4 sections there was a marked difference in attire as those in the wind were togged up like arctic explorers while those out of it donned budgie smugglers or mankinis.

Top of the pile this week was the elusive Simmo on peg 31 he caught from the off on mainly a shalla approach straight out and down the edge later on for a match winning weight of 99lb 12oz only a blurt away from the magic ton. Others in the section were left in awe of  simmo and could only manage to get within 26lb of todays champion.

In second place was Bucko he managed to fend off  Tony , Sumo and the "Deserter " or Nicky H as he used to be known . His 94lb 05oz secured the section win despite Tony fishing a revolutionary new shalla shalla shalla shalla method. When he hooked one of the regular flying skimmers  the snotty individual decided the safest place was to be in the tree.As it flew into the branches and managed to hang itself dangling a foot off the water a new hook length was in the offing and the escape was completed. Despite this setback Tony managed to net 79lb 01oz for 3rd place overall.

In the geriatric section comprising of Kenny Stuart , Eric and Gary Briss it was a close call with Kenny winning C Section with 64lb,Eric had the misfortune to break his trolley when getting to his beg but with help from Steve Ringpiece and Yozzers brothers Gary and Mally his gear was delivered to peg 21 .

Ah carrying someone else's gear to their peg , brings back good memories.

Finally in Section A Mr Tango continued with his recent form and netted 75lb to win the section. Fishing the monkey method he left Normski , Les and the Butler in his wake and cemented  "The Future is Orange " as his motto.

Thanks to peggers and weighers in and Jan for a quality breakfast. See you at Hampton boys and if you gat to the Broxton Roundabout early enough you can enjoy some Dogging there before we do some Dogging at Hampton..
