Having travelled to the venue with Jamie, discussion on the homeward trip turned to the blog, and he wanted some influence on the headline, hence 'ice cool' and 'massacre'.
Ice breaking was back on the agenda with Gorsty covered in varying degrees of thickness...that's the ice, not our members. Thanks once again to those who broke the ice.
Oh how rumours spread during a match. An hour into the match and Jamie's had an eight pound ghostie!
However, the scales, and our eyes told a different story. The carp was of regulation colour for a 5lb mirror. Pole fished pellet added a small pastie and some decent skimmers, and moved the scales to a level 15lb, and the massacre was complete. Why do we let these superstars into the club? A fine display jambo.
Ken Stuart started with a small roach first chuck,on maggot over groundbait, and then caught one on every other chuck too. After a busy day he weighed 11lb 02oz, for a comfortable second place. Not bad for an old'un, I was tired just watching the master.
Lee Pickup fished another tidy match, and brought a mix of silvers and a small carp to the scales to record 9lb 07oz and put himself in the frame. Well done, Lee.
The crafty cockney, Tony Byers, was pegged at the end of our stretch, before another match started on his other side. He would have comfortably won that match, and in the circumstances did well to win a section in our match after weighing an all roach net of 6lb 04oz. Nice one Tony.
Visitor Ant Davies sat it out on pellet and was rewarded with a handful of quality skimmers and a solitary carp, which went 8lb 04oz to win him the other section. A good performance on his first visit.
No golden nugget this week, so the feature was 'the battle of the bush'. Pato stuck at it on one side and was rewarded with a bonus carp with 15 minutes to go, which, added to his 100 roach, took him over 5lb. Hats off to you Neil, you battered me. With Kenny on my other side it's a good job there was no-one behind me or I'd have been F****d left, right AND centre.

Ha ha feckin MASSACRE.It was hardly that it was a good job he landed that carp otherwise he wouldnt have came anywere ha ha well done for landing it tho but you did sound an awful lot like John Wilson at the time chuckling to yourself and heave hoeing ha ha.All in all it was a pleasant day but cold,well done to those who framed and to those that even bothered to turn up lol.Bet we dont get that many on the frozen brickies next week ha ha.
ReplyDeleteAt least you can trust Kenny to get the right weight for the golden peg. I'd have been quids in if some draft sod hadn't fuked a carp.
ReplyDeleteJohn the golden peg wasnt worth winning it was only 13 quid ya tite arse ha ha :)
