SON OF SWIPE SHOW HIS OLD MAN WHO's BOSS

14 of us made the trip this week and it was well worth the effort.

Davey Harrop was on top form this week with 73-14 putting him in first place at Lathoms.

The Son of Swipe fished 6 metres for most of the day in A Section with Swipe Senior , Eric and Keith.

Minor hiccup for Eric when his side tray broke and dumped all his bait and other essentials  into the lake. Not to be deterred he managed to retrieve most of his tackle , however as expected from some of our senior members he couldn’t remember what was on the tray to start with .So everything he pulled back out was a bit of a bonus.

Swipe senior tried to get back into contention but fell short of Davey with 54-13.Pellet and the odd bit of corn proved the winning tactics today.

In B Section were Cookie , Bucko and Keiran. The groans of disbelief rang out when Bucko drew the same peg that he drew  on our last visit here.

A couple of “fiddling ,  spawney  , little T**t “ comments were made but nothing  Bucko hasn’t heard before . It certainly didn’t put him off and an all pellet approach at 6 metres did the trick for him.

69-12 of pellet caugh F1’s and other assorted species put him in contention again.

This was enough for the section and third place overall.

In C Section Brisso , Lee and Les were drawn in Blankers Bay. It was certainly tougher down there than the rest of the lake but Brisso between telling  many jokes and doing  impressions managed to net 36-05 to take this section.In the final section we had Stevie Coleman , Patto , Andy and the Ginger Midget.Stevie set off like a house on fire and caught steadily throughout the day .He fished long against a very stiff breeze and was rewarded with 70-09 for second place . Dennis on the end peg ( as usual ) was forced to fish the margins because of the wind and he netted 56-00 .So tough for some but a great day for others in total we caught 553lb, and hopefully with the summer coming things will only get better.

So in summary

1^ST Davey H 73-14

2^nd Stevie 70-09

3^rd Bucko 69-12
