As SUMO leaves Lingmere in disgrace he utters those famous words.

" I am going to the Caernarvon now , I may be some time "

BALL'S OF STEEL BUCKO PUTS THE BRASS MONKEYS IN THEIR PLACE.

A freezing cold and windy day at Lingmere led to regular departures throughout the match , similar to Anfield since Xmas.
A few hardy soles managed to stick it out and reaped the rewards.
Once again Bucko showed us how it's done.The usual fuck all estimate wasn't far off but 14-14 was enough to win the match.
 In second place using his experience in Arctic fishing was Dennis  , 12-04 took the silver medal and proved that if on a half decent peg this guy can deliver.
Continuing a decent run of form was Stevie Hudson , 7-11 put him third , well done son.
In the sections Brisso refused the walk of shame and took A section with 6-14 , keep it going mate.
Finally Lee being in a section of three with Sumo & Normo managed to sit out the last 2 hours of the match in the car .His 7-5 in the net led to the other two faggots throwing in the towel and going home,
Well stuck at it mate.

So in Summary

1st Bucko -14-14
2nd Dennis 12-04
3rd Stevie  7-11

Sections

A - Brisso
B - Stevie
C - Bucko
D - Lee
E - Dennis

Thanks to the peggers and weighers in

See you soon boys

THE CUNNERIES 5/2/17

ALL HAIL PATTO

Wasn't at this one fellas so only a short blog.

A smug looking Patto was this weeks king at the Cunneries.
30-09lb was enough to secure first place .The maestro was undeterred
by not having drawn and end peg and gave the thumbs down to those
who thought an end peg was a sure thing.
In second place for a change was Johnny Rodgers 26-14 lb gave him
second place and more points for the Garbolino Clubman Qualifying race.
In third only just behind Bucko was Andy The Butler Lawton.
He was only a fish short of catching Bucko but his 25-12lb haul completed
 the podium places.
Housey fresh from a fine performance at Lingmere was once again in the action and 16-09lb gave him the final section.
So in summary

1st Patto 30-09
2nd Bucko 26-14
3rd Andy 25-12

Sections

A : Bucko
B: Housey
C: Patto

Only disappointing thing this week was that Sumo was not there to take
another Turking off Bucko

See you soon boys.

Lingmere 29/1/17

So it's not just the Eggy Ferry Lunatics who
put up with the weather for Fish !!!!!!

A cold day at Lingmere couldn't put off 22 of the Eggy Ferry boys on Sunday.
Cold wind and tough sport sorted the men out from the boys .
The girls like the Cookie Monster had already cried off in anticipation of a tough day and were proved to be right for once.
With 5 sections on the top lake and 2 on the bottom still left it almost impossible to keep everyone happy with the pegging but that's showbusiness folks.
Once again Bucko proved his worth and 23.14lb put him in first place once again.
Phil House came a close second with 21-16lb and in third on the podium ( a big one ) Pete Lucas with 19.06lb
The sections were proof that the day was hard  with The Butler winning B section with 2.9lb , well done Andy for sticking it out.
Kenny Stewart registered a section win with 6.07lb hats off to you mate.
In the final section on the top lake Patto holding onto 16.5 m of pole showed his class 17.15lb
put the envelope in his pocket ( not the one with the hole in )
On the bottom lake Stevie Hudson managed to winkle out 15.4lb to take his envelope and finally Simo knocked out 15.4lb to finish the last section winner.

So in summary

1st - Bucko
2nd -Housey
3rd -Luco

Sections

A - Kenny

B - Andy

C - Luco

D - Bucko

E - Patto

F - Stevie H

G - Simmo

A final prize was awarded to Dennis for the "Longest Dummy Spit of the weekend "
He cleared the lighthouse by a clear 50 yards when he found he was in the Iceberg peg.
Don' take it to heart mate every peg I draw is shite - or maybe it's just me
See you soon mate.

Thanks to the peggers and weighers and to Nicky for giving us a rest from his crap singing, maybe being freezing and unable to sing has it's benefits after all.

Cheers Boys

See you soon

Lathoms 22/1/2017

CAN THINGS GET ANY WORSE ??

Too right they can

SUMO WINS AT LATHOMS , OH SHITE !!!!!

A freezing cold day and sport a lot tougher than usual on Lathoms.
A Breakfast in Ormkirk was the only highlight of the day for some and the claims from Skeetex about having the warmest boots in the world was in question.

One angler though managed to suss out the winning method and the Wannabeee in charge boy Sumo put the rest of us in our places.
A switch to corn at 10  meters started the annihilation ( SPAWN) which put the ex  Blobendale on the top of the podium with 23-08 lb.
Coming up on the rails but just a short neck behind was Stevie Coleman , sporting a jockey style cap (twat hat) he managed 20-12 lb to finish second.Stevie fished straight out in front at 8 meters and later 16 meters on a secret squirrel bait he would not tell us was.
In third place after a slow start and a walkabout was Jamie his 16-01 lb finished off the top 3.

The sections were as follows

A Sumo
B Leeo  14-04 lb
C Brisso 12-01 lb
D Stevie O

Thanks for the peggers and weighers , see you at Lingmere

Cheers

Cookie

New Boy Mal keeps the Eggy Ferry Mob quiet

Bit of a strange one this for Eggy Ferry. Maybe it was post festive season blues but the usual banter was a bit thin on the ground.  My opinion is that the usual level of incompetent buffoonery by members was lacking.  No one fell in, trod on their pole, fished the wrong peg, or chucked the last of their bait in thinking there was 2 minutes to go when there was actually 1 hour and 2 minutes to go.   Even Nick Harrop’s repertoire  of truly awful pub karaoke songs was limited, much to the relief of those within earshot.

The recent warm weather promised decent weights but the total lack of any wind and the lakes looking like a mirror put the mockers on that hope! That’s our excuse anyway.

As usual the gorgeous Jan provided the breakfast and her beloved Steve (fishery owner and damn good rod) reminded us how useless we were but how we shouldn’t let that stop us feeding his fish!! 

Winner on the day and club debutante was Mal Turley on peg 49 with 47-01. (He hasn’t paid his membership yet so there is still time to black-ball him lads!).  The winning method was maggot at 12/13 metres.

Second was Ian ‘Simmo’ Simpkins who made the most of his average peg to weigh 40-06. Of course no one mentioned that he was end peg on that bank on the day! Maggot on 17/19/20  etc.etc. metres of pole was the method.

Third on the day was Dave ‘Spadger’ Lynch. I know what you’re thinking ....’who?  Well apparently he’s the club chairman but hasn’t been seen for six months.  Apparently he has to work all the hours God sends when he’s not hanging around outside primary schools at lunch hour (Dave that is, not God of course).  Anyway he managed a well deserved 35-09. Nick Harrop on the next peg tried to shake his hand in congratulations at the end of the match. Sadly Nick’s thumbs had been up his own arse for so long we couldn’t pull them out for the handshake.   

Sections were won by...

A – Simmo 40-06

B – Gary Brislen 19-09

C - Stevie Coleman 09-07

D – Sumo ‘The Awesome One’ 23-14

E – Mal Turley 47-01.

One notable event on the day involved John ‘Buck’ Rogers. Whenever he’s asked what he’s caugh on a match, the answer was always ‘Fu*k All’. This week it was true.  Whooshhhh!!!
