For someone with the talent to reach a Fishomania Final (albeit 1999), Gary Brislin has kept a remarkably low profile in Eggy matches. Over the past month or so he's found a rich vein of form, and completed a hat-trick of wins when he brought 32lb 08oz to the scales. He used his sloppy paste again and caught a succession of small carp and F1s. If you win next week you are getting a letter from the committee. Top fishin Gary, but you have been warned!
The penny has finally dropped for our runner-up. Jamie Pickup has been adamant that doubled-up 6 elastic would handle anything. Well not today, if only Jamie had landed everything he hooked... but then if me auntie had balls she'd be me uncle. Jay actually managed to put 31lb 06oz into his keepnet, including a munter of 10lb 06oz. Smashin, super, luvly.
Following a dismal start looking for carp, Gary Chambers abandoned the idea after a couple of hours and started fishing shallow with maggot. He caught quality silvers for the rest of the match to secure third place with a cracking net weighing 28lb 08oz. Personally I don't think maggots should be allowed between May and November.
Lee Pickup was next to his Bruvver Jay, and fished the method feeder for the most part. It brought him a satisfying 20lb 12oz, and a section win. Oops, whose the daddy?
Yozzer Hughes had a level 24lb of small carp and F1 hybrids to collect the other section. He was, however, punished for running a squirrel over on the way to the match. Having hung onto a rather large and angry carp for over thirty minutes, his elastic snapped and away went the carp, the laccy, and his favourite rig! Remember, God is watching you.
Another hat-trick man was Norman, as he clawed his way back into the Golden Nugget with a third victory from the last 4. Think it's game on, what about you, Sumo?

Class write up yet again gnome,well done to gary for the win and well done to jamie for his second place,in future keep them fish out of my peg ha ha,you will soon realise tri-cast poles could drag a barge in so in future use it to its full potential and stop letting them little carp pull you round the lake ;).As for the squirrel incident,yes yoz it was very cruel and god did punish you ha ha you will avoid them in the future.All in all not a bad day for most BRING ON THE TOP PARK :). Oh and i fished the thod all day,i didnt even take my pole out the bag :).
ReplyDeleteI don't want the nugget contest to get too one sided so I've 'staged' a couple hissy fits lately to let him catch up. I expect him to win another nugget at the park this week but then I'll just cruise off into the distance again.
ReplyDeleteYou're my kinda guy John, always thinkin of others. Sacrificing a day's fishing just to make Norman feel better, now that's class. What an actor...had me fooled, those tantrums looked so real!!!
