It has to be the best venue we fish !
This was a “Triples Draw Match”, this involved a meeting of the chosen few in a dark corner of a snooker hall at a time when very few witness would be around, as predicted after Thursdays excellent showing and a podium finish Wally’s team of three included Nigel (back as his best mate even if he did beat Wally and Max in the Poker Saturday night). Wally’s main rival for the championship was put with myself (unable to catch a cold at the flue clinic at present me) and Ardo.
The pegs where grouped into 3 and then sorted out by the teams (marvellous idea and worked well), the favoured pegs near the bridge where occupied by Bruce and myself, but the venue being as good as it is all pegs where producing fish, I continued the diabolical run of form and was bad enough to unsure Paul Chilvers could not win the match (very tactical this Pot Black), Wally fishing from Peg 10 was unable to get into the required quantity but used his team to carry him through.
Martin Dingit was fishing from peg 3 and produced a truly marvellous bag of fish to be the second club member to get over the 100 lbs bag and win the match well done Martin, father and son Moyse fishing next to each other on the back bank had fish all day. Come the weigh in it was close but Roy showed the “boy” how it is done and was the heavier weight, the juniors had good weights and Kieran managed to catch more than Aaron (Kieran said “ it was not difficult, he would of had more but his Dad would not let him cast out”).
Banjo was distance casting to the Island and produced a really good bag from the un-fancied peg 1, Boyce had a very uneventful day and I believe managed to finish without losing/breaking any of his tackle, Nigel even turned his radio down so he did not hear the result of the Hungarian Grand Prix. Nigel was very quiet and was not heard or seen very much at all (the pressure of being in his idols team was probably too much for him, but he did try).
An unbelievable amount of fish where caught and everyone had an enjoyable day, several members put two nets in from the start and that just shows how confident you can be at a venue of this quality. The end is now insight and the tassel for top honours is gathering pace, although with a couple more “doubles” and maybe even another “triples” the way things go you could see “P Clements” making a late run for the top position (who is P Clements ?).
Another great day at as previously stated “Probably the best venue we fish” (from a social as well as fish point of view).
THE END IS NIGH !!
The other bank.
P.S. P Clements is Bear.
