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

Sections

A Davey H

B Bucko

C Brisso

D Stevie

THE MENACE RETURNS AT LLOYDS

An excellent turn out at Lloyds Meadow saw 21 Eggy members line the banks this week.Based on previous experiences here some were expecting a tough day and others who managed to draw on the fish were rubbing their hands in anticipation.
This proved to be the case with a couple of early DNW departures but more with a fine net of fish.
In seven sections spread across the whole lake the chances of the slippery scaled swines disappearing to an unmanned area were greatly reduced and where the fish were holed up we had someone fishing there.
This weeks winner was the Ginger Midget Dennis Jones he was in a section that provided the top 3 places along with Andy Lawton and Any old Scrote  Bait Nicky
. Drawing on the normally empty side he fished long to the island all day and was rewarded with a match winning bag of 77-03 . Andy close but no cigar weighed 62-12 and the Scrote himself 58-08.

Other good  weights were also had with Sumo winning A section with 36-10 ,Patto a section winner with   50-09 and Claude Van Dim winning his section with 34-00.
Lee in a tough section caught 9-04 , and reliable Stevie Coleman picking up his envelope with a net of 32-00.
The final section was won by one of our new members Kevin Ohanlan .I had the pleasure of drawing next  to Kev and he promptly spanked  mine and Jamie's arses with 50-07 .A nice man and a new member of the Fat C***S club.

So in summary

1st Dennis 77-03
2nd Andy 62-12
3rd Nicky 58-08

Sections

A Sumo - 36-10
B Kev - 50-07
C Patto - 50-09
D Stevie - 32-00
E Lee 9-04
F Brisso - 34-00
G Dennis 77-03

Cheers Boys see you soon

WRIGHTINGTONS 5/3/18

PETE SHOW HE MADE OF THE HARD STUFF

On a day of rain , rain and more rain brollies were out en mass today.
A breezy start followed by torrential rain dampened a lot of spirits but not those of Pete Lucas.
Drawn in A section he put 36lb together to become today's winner .Corn proved to be his optimum bait and he left the rest behind by a clear 10lb.
In fact he left Cookie and Sumo a full 36lb behind as both the ugly sisters took the walk of shame.
It was a slow start for most and the added joy of deep water and brollies up made it even tougher to land a fish if you were lucky enough to catch one.
Coming second was Mally, on a rare outing and an unfancied end peg away from the wind his 26lb was enough to fend off Brisso. The denim clad muscles from brussels was third with 25-07lb.

In the sections Les proved it not be be unlucky for some with 13-12lb for B Section.
The ever popular Bucko (f*t c**t )in section C was still in the money this week with 25lb dead .

So in summary

1st Pete Lucas (aka the Tub of Lard ) 36lb
2nd Mally (the mysterious) 26lb
3rd  Brisso ( aka Mr Levi's 1957 ) 25-07lb

Sections

A Pete Lucas
B Les (the round one )
C Bucko
D Brisso
E Mally

We are on Wrightington's again this year and with better weather I am sure we will have a much better day.
Looking forward to it already

Cheers Boys , see you soon .

BUCKO HANDS OUT ANOTHER LESSON AT LATHOMS

Bucko once again showed the rest of us how it should be done with a commanding victory
this week.
There were 13 , no 10 , no 11 , bollocks 12 of us out today on a day plagued with the after effects of ale.
 Firstly Sumo complaining of too much ale and curry on Saturday followed by Davey H .
 Mr Harrop junior having run Oliver Reed and Peter O'Toole close in a drink yourself to death challenge was a bag of shite for most of the day but this didn't effect is angling skills.
Split into three sections of four  , a few groans were heard when pegs 5,6,7,8 were drawn.
This was the well know part of the lake called Blankers Bay.
Bucko unfortunately didn't know this and incredibly had 92-14 for first place.
A bit of space and pellet proved to be the winning way.The other guys in the section happened to be crammed together with only a free peg either side of them to try and fish in.
In the first section Sumo proved his worth and had 52-00 to come joint second overall and win the section.Pellet once aain with an occaisional piece of corn did the trick
In the final section Steamboat Davey Harrop fought off his hangover to net 52-00 also.A section win and a share in second was a superb result for someone who couldn't count at 09:00 hrs.
Dave too relied on pellet as maggot attracted the smallest blurts seen for a while.

Next week we are at Wrightingtons Fishery .
For a change Patto will be doing the pegging so I do not expect anybody to be moaning about the way it is pegged ( honest )

In summary

1st Bucko       92-14
2nd Davey H  52-00
3rd Sumo       52-00

Sections as above

And finally a thought goes to Spadger , after spending 4 hours on Saturday crushing some pellets
his reward was an early dart and the walk of shame .Welcome to Sumo's world Dave.

Cheers boys , see you soon
