BARFORD THURSDAY THURS 24 APRIL

15 Fisherman(a loose description), a good turn out for a Thursday, I think everyone wanted to wet their lines for the coming season. A bit cold still for us, but most of us had a good day! Fish were a bit scarce on the bottom ,so the ones who used a pellet waggler seemed more fruitful!!
Top of the pops, just back from a time out year living with Bob Nudd, was Whispering Bob Harrod with 35 lb 8oz who was blanking until 2pm but went berserk with paste catching 6 good carp.The other Bob," have u changed the fixture again" Morris, on the golden peg had 4 fish in the first hour and like his wife said "he can't keep it up" and ended with 29lb 3 oz to pip "Wa" into 3rd. place. Banjo was 4th. and PAUL Blowers(thats a turn up) in 5th. A total of 164lb (not much but we'll put it down to the temperature of the water and not we are crap fisherman) with 9 catchers and 6 (b)lankers! The usual things happened:- shane had a good sleep,Mosey Jnr caught a carp before the match started with no bait, but packed up before time(lucky Sarah locked the front gates), Ardo caught his Quota of whitebait,Nigee-well he's just nigee!!!
Has anyone seen N0 1 Don, The Pro, Wayne"the Don" Moore, well he was there and everyone did hear when he hadn't had a bite for 3 hours, so our tip for the week for you is take a Pack-up!!!
Colton Sunday, meet at 8, fishing 10-3pm, tight lines!!!

WALLY'S TIPS

Daniel from Barford said that the match lake has been fishing good and one bloke weighed in over 300 lb already this season . The carp are showing on top, with the middle pegs fishing good on the Pellet waggler. On the bottom the usual baits of maggot, corn & Cat meat are doing the best and the end pegs are more likely to catch in the margins.
At Colton they have been getting bags up to 100 lb but as the fish average about 8 LB each
you don't need many.Maggots and castors are the preferred baits getting anywhere from the bottom right up to a foot below the surface. Margins again more likely in the corners, but because of the cold weather the season is a wee bit behind. Wayne and Boycie has been seen regularly spying from the undergrowth but will probably deny it!
Ladbrookes odds are as follows:-
First fish 3-1 Spawny Max Wall
First Joke 8-10 skipper Nigel
First Winge 2-3 Mad Bruce
First Piss Take 6-11 Bob Morris & Bulti & Paul Chilvers
Best Dressed 9-2 Keith Knights
last one ready & Packed up Yours Truly!!!!!

Remember we are fishing 11 to 4 meeting at 9am. (one hour later)

TIGHT LINES!!!!!

IT'S STARTED

The thursday fixture (24th. April ) fishing Barford Match Lake from 10 to 4pm, meeting Carlton Crown car park 8am, is on the board ready for names. Those people who paid match fees will be returned them on the day (as explained at the meeting we only collect £6 for sundays, as this PRIZE MONEY is kept back till the end of the season) and everyrthing else is collected at peg draw on car park!!!!! (thicko's).
Also the Sunday Match at Colton April 27th. is ready for names, fishing 10 to 3pm, again meeting Carlton Crown at 8am. I'm ringing the lake Monday to confirm everything so I'll be asking Daniel how the two Lakes are Fishing( Methods & baits, etc.), so , all the people who can be bothered to log on and read the blogspot will be the ones to find out all the info! The rest can shove it for not bothering.
P.S. I done my knee in the weekend, so I'm walking around like a cripple, so if I can fish I will, if not I'll still be there taking the piss out of YOU!

Sneaky Wayne

I was driving past Beccles Lakes when I saw some anglers fishing in the freezing cold and thought what a lot of bloody Mugs! Then it dawned it was their Saturday Match and thought I'd better have a Deco and see if there's any fish around! Walking round I thought these Guys look fairly decrepid, then I saw this funny looking Dumpty crouching under an umbrella. I thought he looks familar and low & behold there was our Wayne Moore trying it on to get some easy cash!!

It was weighing in time and I just got to Wayne's Peg to here him squeal " I don't think I'll weigh these in today". The guy on the scales insisted and you'll never guess what, our DON of the Pot Black Club came bloody LAST!!!! What an embarressment!!! The so called best angler we've got, got beat up by a load of Pensioners & Kids!!! The thing is he wanting to get some water time in to build up his confidence and look what happens!! The camera is always going to be ready this year so be WARNED!!!!

FIXTURE CHANGE

Already we've had to change a fixture just to make BOB MORRIS happy! The real reason is Supa-Dupa Lowestoft Town F. C. have unbelievabley got to wembley! We had a count up and a lot of faces are going down there so it isn't fair on Stuart Platt(hinderclay) if we book the water and don't fill it. So, instead of 11th. MAY (New Lake) its put forward one week to the 4th. MAY
SPRING LAKE, still 10 to 3pm. Till the next one!
