Two very brief roundups

Firstly back to the sedges for the first round of the float onky league, 40 fishing again this year, and i had a bit of a waiting list, so good to know its still popular, this series has been going for over 30years, run originally by nigel milkins back in the day, assisted by steve Evans, i took over well over 20 years ago, still being assisted by steve. Who has made the league run a lot smoother than had i been doing it alone, last year it never happened due to c19 so hopefully we can complete it this year. todays weather was forecast to be horrendous, and it never disappointed, severe gales coupled with heavy rain, TORRID. Ryan jordan did a good job in drawing me a peg with a bit of shelter, 23 on tile. I did feel for the anglers at the other end of the lake (ye right lol), the weather made it difficult to say the least, but some good weights were had , i ended up with 80lb, a few on the shallow wag, a couple on the deck on pellet at 13 mtrs, and a few late.fish on meat over the short line. No pictures as it was to wet and horrible, weigh sheets below and a big well done to john andres on winning the first match from peg 40 with over 160lb.

on to monday and i ran a short pole match at acorn, topset and three, i had 22 booked in until they saw the weather forecast, so ended up with 18, still not to bad ,i had last peg in the hat, which was 22, ok to be fair, and i can honestly say I never did the peg justice, on a brighter note i was pegged next to leyton palmer again, so gauranteed a laugh, and he never let me down, ended up with 67lb, struggled to begin with, that was untill i started to put some groundbait in down the middle and it seemed to kick start the swim, first a few skimmers, then the carp showed up, and as I said,i should have done better, strangely i never had a bite by by the bridge, nor did leyton, although he was catching well towards the bridge at the end but in the margin. topweight was by des shipp on 33 with 111lb which included the best silvers weight of 27lb, he has caught over groundbait, then on worm towards the end when he couldn't get the rig in quick enough, legend. In form dave(foggy swamper) ings was second from peg 3, and mark(bunt) broomsgrove was third with 71lb, leaving me in 4th and no pick-up, there is a weigh sheet but i cant find it, if i do i will pop it on at some stage.
