CAN THINGS GET ANY WORSE ??

Too right they can

SUMO WINS AT LATHOMS , OH SHITE !!!!!

A freezing cold day and sport a lot tougher than usual on Lathoms.
A Breakfast in Ormkirk was the only highlight of the day for some and the claims from Skeetex about having the warmest boots in the world was in question.

One angler though managed to suss out the winning method and the Wannabeee in charge boy Sumo put the rest of us in our places.
A switch to corn at 10  meters started the annihilation ( SPAWN) which put the ex  Blobendale on the top of the podium with 23-08 lb.
Coming up on the rails but just a short neck behind was Stevie Coleman , sporting a jockey style cap (twat hat) he managed 20-12 lb to finish second.Stevie fished straight out in front at 8 meters and later 16 meters on a secret squirrel bait he would not tell us was.
In third place after a slow start and a walkabout was Jamie his 16-01 lb finished off the top 3.

The sections were as follows

A Sumo
B Leeo  14-04 lb
C Brisso 12-01 lb
D Stevie O

Thanks for the peggers and weighers , see you at Lingmere

Cheers

New Boy Mal keeps the Eggy Ferry Mob quiet

Bit of a strange one this for Eggy Ferry. Maybe it was post festive season blues but the usual banter was a bit thin on the ground.  My opinion is that the usual level of incompetent buffoonery by members was lacking.  No one fell in, trod on their pole, fished the wrong peg, or chucked the last of their bait in thinking there was 2 minutes to go when there was actually 1 hour and 2 minutes to go.   Even Nick Harrop’s repertoire  of truly awful pub karaoke songs was limited, much to the relief of those within earshot.

The recent warm weather promised decent weights but the total lack of any wind and the lakes looking like a mirror put the mockers on that hope! That’s our excuse anyway.

As usual the gorgeous Jan provided the breakfast and her beloved Steve (fishery owner and damn good rod) reminded us how useless we were but how we shouldn’t let that stop us feeding his fish!! 

Winner on the day and club debutante was Mal Turley on peg 49 with 47-01. (He hasn’t paid his membership yet so there is still time to black-ball him lads!).  The winning method was maggot at 12/13 metres.

Second was Ian ‘Simmo’ Simpkins who made the most of his average peg to weigh 40-06. Of course no one mentioned that he was end peg on that bank on the day! Maggot on 17/19/20  etc.etc. metres of pole was the method.

Third on the day was Dave ‘Spadger’ Lynch. I know what you’re thinking ....’who?  Well apparently he’s the club chairman but hasn’t been seen for six months.  Apparently he has to work all the hours God sends when he’s not hanging around outside primary schools at lunch hour (Dave that is, not God of course).  Anyway he managed a well deserved 35-09. Nick Harrop on the next peg tried to shake his hand in congratulations at the end of the match. Sadly Nick’s thumbs had been up his own arse for so long we couldn’t pull them out for the handshake.   

Sections were won by...

A – Simmo 40-06

B – Gary Brislen 19-09

C - Stevie Coleman 09-07

D – Sumo ‘The Awesome One’ 23-14

E – Mal Turley 47-01.

One notable event on the day involved John ‘Buck’ Rogers. Whenever he’s asked what he’s caugh on a match, the answer was always ‘Fu*k All’. This week it was true.  Whooshhhh!!!
