avalon in a bad mood

today i was shit the end !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just kiddin. i was going to viaduct to fish the psv match on cambell but iwas talked out of it in favour of running a match at avalon, wish i hadnt bothered.
we had 22 turn up from a far a field as oxford and wales and horfield so there was a multi national feel about it. mike west had his 9 year old nephew with him so he drew for me and pulled out 17 which is about half way up on the left on the small island. i had fat phil for company on 16, which i thought was like an empty peg(i wish i would keep my mouth shut sometimes), but joking aside he is a very very very (lol)compitent wag angler as he learnt his skills on the avon chub fishing as a junior with the silver dace club.i aint biggin you up any more.
it aint worth saying to much about how my match went ,just to say i had 1 skimmer on maggot over micros at the start and that was it as far as the silvers go, i did try for another hour to catch another but i think i had exhausted the shoal . its the only venue i know where 1 skimmer constitutes a shoal(sorry leigh). i foul hooked a good ghostie in the tail which i lost near the net and apart from a few liners that was my pole line done. on the wag i did eventually get 1 but that was hooked under the chin, at least it must have looked at the bait, and apart from losing 3 more on the wag 2 of which were fouled and the other 1 the bale arm wasnt shut properly and it got to the island and came off.oh yes and i had a duck nuff said .glen bailey seems to have days like this all the time i am surprised he still goes ! and the impish adonis that is leon hubbard was parading around with his shirt off. good to see he has caught us all up in the love handles stakes
the match was won by joff rogers(real name jonathon but he tells me only his mum calls him that) with 59.10 on peg 7, 12 carp 8 on the straight lead and 4 on the wag
leon luv handles had 53.8 on peg 3 mainly on paste at 16 mtr,s
andy neale had 47.3 peg 12 on pellet feeder
tom cruise , sorry magnol 45.12 peg5
vince brown 36.3 peg33
gary wall 32.14 peg23
silvers went to gary wall with 2.14
oh well off to do it all again on wednesday anyone interested give me a ring and i forgot to mention that i had to give 2 quid to phil ,vince and i even had to give a quid to mike duckett that shows how shit i was
