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!!!

ReplyDeleteGreat write up Steve. Nice to see Bucko didn't beat me for once even though I wasn't there.
ReplyDeleteWho the feck is Ian Simpkins you daft old scroat......and if I'd have fished 17/19/20m I'd have been fishing the other side of the aerator...I know its difficult to believe but I wasn't on 29-32 some other numpties cocked them fliers up!
