GREENGRASS  GREENFIELD GIVES THE FIELD A LICKING AT HAMPTON

18 of Eggy Ferry's finest made the trip to Hampton today. Though the fishing was hard The weather held off and there were some Hampton Lumps to be had if you could get them in.
When getting to our pegs most people noticed that the water was very clear which is not a good sign.
Housey informed us that the temperature on Friday and Saturday night had dropped to 2 deg C .Maybe that was was put the fish down ?, we will never know.
This weeks Hero at Hampton was John Greenfield . On peg 15 with Dennis and Spadger in his section John must of thought  " how can I beat these two legends ? "
He had little to worry about a they both fished like Bellends to give John the section money and 1st place on the day .From what I could see John caught most of his fish shallow at around 14.5 m on pellet and weighed in 38-03 for the win.
For Dennis this week there was no end peg and it told . 5 hours of Dennis's commentary on the experience of almost blanking was too much for some and singing the Dinker Donker Danker chorus was the only way to alleviate the ear ache for a few.
In second place today in section A was the Helmet of Hampton aka Sumo. A varied approach of feeder , down the track and shallow brought 31-14 to the net and was enough for the section.
In third place was Tony Trainor with Les and Terry in his section he managed 29-14 for the money. John fished long all day for his fish , o well done Tony.
In B section Kenny Stuart , Paul Robbo and Andy Lawton fought it out and Andy proved to be the winner with 25-12 beating the club eye candy Paul by a mere 5 ounces .
In C section Brisso , Nicko and Houso battled it out and despite venue expert Nicko being in the section Housey repeated last weeks section winning performance by catching 29-09 , Well in Housey.
In D Section Patto ,Eric and Cookie all caught unsteadily  and it was only the 2 carp caught down the edge by Patto in the first 10 minutes that separated the trio . 23-15 from Mr Mirth was enough to put more money into the Mirth Mobile on the way home.
Glad to see Robbo out again and despite him having Patto drooling over him all day I hope he enjoyed his day out with the Eggy Helmets.

Finally a little gem most of you may have missed but it tickled me.
Dennis was talking to Spadger about his family hiring a big country house for a get together.
A comment drifted across the lake from peg 7 which was " That will be a Dolls House then Den "
Classic

Cheers Boys see you soon

THE KING IS DEAD !!!!!     LONG LIVE THE KING

On the morning of 22nd April 2018 it was announced that the most famous dwarf in the world Mini Me had passed away.

RIP VERNE TROYER





















However by early afternoon the same day another member of the knee high club was proclaimed King of the Little people .

Arise King Dennis Jones and take a bow.

13 Eggy members made the trip and while waiting for breakfast we were treated to a torrential downpour which lasted for at least an hour into the match .The end pegs were put into a section of 4 and three sections of 3 from the people who were " Blocked In " fought it out.
As you may have guessed already it was Dennis the club umpalumpa who triumphed. With a continual out pour of bullshit throughout the match regarding losing fish , cant get a bite etc the medical midget put 81-11lb on the scales to win the match .Second today was Davey H who on another of the end pegs pulled out 66-13lb ,  close but no cigar Davey.
In third place was the self proclaimed Lord of Lingmere , Prince of Partidge aka Sumo.
His 53-06lb was also enough to win B Section
I find it impossible not to comment on his modesty when naming himself with titles indicating he is in the Elite Anglers club of the northwest and not just a Club Angler like the rest of us
I have a few titles I would like to bestow on Sumo , I think these may be better suited.
The Wanker of Whiteacres
The Turd of Tunnel Barn
The Helmet of Hampton
The Log of Lathoms
The Gobshite of the Glebe
I will let you use your own imagination to find out what his title is at The Cunneries.
In the sections Housey making a rare appearance dominated C Section catching mainly up in the water from the off to total 38-15lb and leave Brisso and Cookie to watch in awe.Well done Housey. In the final section Terry was the victor . The weight advantage Patto and Les had over him was was ineffectual in the section of weightwatchers and 44-03lb was enough for the money.
All in all it was a good days fishing with plenty of fish for all. The main baits were Pellet , Maggot and corn .Few carp were caught but big F1's and decent skimmers were abundant.
Fishing long , down the track and in the margins later on all produced and it finally looks like the warmer weather will improve the fishing all around.

So in Summary

1st Dennis  81-11
2nd Davey H 66-13
3rd The C*** of the Cunneries Sumo 53-06

Sections
A Dennis
B Sumo
C Housey
D Terry

Cheers Boys see you soon
