HALL LANE BESS 21/5/17

Terry wins gold and lets us know he thinks we are an absolute shower of scoundrels

Terry was this weeks top dog on Bess's Lake .Drawn on one of the fancied pegs opposite the gap in the island he managed to bring 36-6 lb to the net and take the podium and the section.

Strong winds prevented Terry from fishing long but his 8 metre approach came good.

In second place was the ever popular Bucko. Drawn in the same section as Swipe Senior he put the ear plugs in and ignored the " Bucko your a twat " tirade to catch 30-09lb. Similarly to Terry his long approach was blown away and spells down the edge on pellet did the trick.

In the bronze medal position was Andy Lawton , drawn on the other flyer opposite the gap in the island. Andy managed to fish long and short and had 27lb for the envelope.

In the sections Brisso came out on top of A section which was made up of 3 former Birkenhead Centre anglers . Dennis , Brisso and Sumo were an example of how many ugly bastards the Birkenhead Centre has produced.

Brisso fresh from a win at Hampton manage 25-06lb for his section win.

The final section was won by Stevie Hudson.Sporting a tan that George Hamilton would have been proud of his weight of 22-6lb took the money.

This match ended the 20 LB and Section winners qualifying round . Check the blog for the qualifiers going into the next round.

Hampton Willow 7/5/17

Brisso takes a break from Last of  The Summer Wine to take the honours at Hampton

Our very own soap star Brisso was the man in form this week. Having been given a pass out from Nora Batty he won the match with 54-15 of mainly carp from the car park side of the lake.
Couldn't see how he fished it but it was exhibition stuff from the Denim Clad genius.
Making the trip home even more fun was the added bonus of his Chuckle Brother travelling partner Patto claiming second spot and a section win .Patto waited 2 hours for his first bite but refused to capitulate and 48-2 was his reward
You could see the Jolly Trolley rocking with mirth as they left Hampton with beaming smiles.
In third place was old  Fisho Non Qualifier Sumo .
46-00 was enough for third but not enough to win the section.
Surprising result really from Sumo having forgot to bring a feeder rod , Bread and the handles for his trolley I was amazed that the stupid prick remembered to put his fish in the net.
In the sections Nick H managed 37-9 fishing maggot at 2+2 for his envelope.
Stevie Coleman also had 2 hours without a bite but made up for it in the last 2 hours with a net of 40-07 of mainly caught margin fish for C section.
Cookie had a similar two hours with no bites then started to catch towards the end on double red maggot in the margins but could not catch Stevie.However it wasn't a bad recovery after being threatened with a proper bumming by Patto if Sumo beat him using the feeder rod Cookie lent him.
Lee was also in the money catching 45-4 for the money in D section.
Congratulations go to John Bones for winning the last section with 33-10. Biggest smile of the day by far
Commiserations also go to Terry on snapping a pole section.
Boys we must stop this - Sumo will be getting the reputation of " Being in Charge " of pole repairs
beware !!!!!!!

In summary

1st  Brisso / Compo 54-15
2nd Patto                  48-2
3rd  Sumo                 46-0

Sections

A Nicky 37-9
B Patto  48-2
C Stevie C  40-7
D Lee 40-7
E Brisso 54-15
F Bones 33-10

Finally our thoughts go out the the camera operator at Arrowe Park Hospital who had to put his endoscope up Patto's arse on Monday. His family say he is still in shock but they hope for a speedy recovery given the right support and counselling.

Cheers Boys

See you soon

CUNNERIES HAWK 30/4/17

A slight ripple across Hawk lake was the result of the hurricane like winds we endured at the Cunneries last weekend.
Fifteen of us made the trip and were split into 5 sections.
Mr Patterson was kind enough to peg the lake and the expected chants of " which gobshite pegged this " were soon ringing out.
After the Heavyweight boxing the night before it was only Cookie who witnessed another heavyweight hit the canvas prior to the match.
The Fisho non qualifier Sumo had a bit of trouble with his bib and brace and managed to pull himself over landing arse over tit behind his car .Unfortunately I could not get the camera out of my pocket quick enough to capture the event but hopefully a repeat performance will come soon.
This weeks champion was Davey Harrop , drawn with the wind right in his face he braved the elements and weighed 41-55 for the win .Due to the wind a long pole approach was out this week and most caught either close in or around 6-8 mtrers with maggot or pellet.
In second was the ever reliable Bucko . His peg was without any wind and had a perfect view of the
Ecclestone Under 21 Female Cheerleaders dressing room across from his peg .Boy he is one draw bag twat. Despite these setbacks he managed to get 38-45 in the bag for the envelope in D section.
Third place was bagged by Terry who caught right from the off down the edge totalling 36-3 and the money for A section .
After his pre match knockdown Sumo made a remarkable recovery and managed to hold off Mally for the money in B Section.
Finally the star pegger for this week proved his point winning E section with 26-7.Patto with  a short show of Arse cheek before the off added another envelope to the collection.

Not a bad day for  those out of the wind ( except Bucko )we struggled but still had a few fish.

We adopted a new weighing in process this week . It has been nicknamed " the wild man's shite weigh in system ".
Basically you start at one peg and then wander  round all the others in no particular order .
It hopefully will not be seen again as I nearly missed The Antiques Roadshow by the time we got home.

In Summary

1st Davey
2nd Bucko

Section
A Terry 36-3
B Sumo 33-2
