Three to report

Thursday and back to plantation main lake for a silvers match, but not before breakfast in the bridge, very nice(dont have the sausages, extra bacon)4.5. 18 booked in again showing how popular this venue is for silver matches, lots of fish to be caught all round the lake, obviously not all winning pegs but bites to be had in most pegs. Got the draw underway and I was given peg 28, happy days , a peg with plenty of form,

paul (des) faiers drew peg 38 again making it three times on the trot. I had glen bailey on my right on 27 and on form dave (magic)willmott on my left just round the corner on 31. I normally dont fish more than 13 mtrs, but glen was going to push it to 14, so i felt i had to follow suit, ive had a steady day catching skimmers, with a few better ones and ended up with 21lb, beating glen to my right, but got battered by dave to my left who won the match with 31lb, which included lots of nice roach, second was mat tomes on 19 who ran dave closest with 28lb, mainly skimmers, pics and sheet below.

Sunday and it was back to the same venue for ron hardiman,s silvers league. With Chris fox today, so we stopped at the Wessex flyer on the way, £9.5 eat as much as you like and all freshly cooked at this time of day, 4.65. Got to the lake, and nearly the first ones there. A quick mention for joe McMahon who picked up gordon Canning in fishponds, took his milo pole case out to load gordy,s and forgot to put it back into the van, by the time he realised his mistake, it was too late and the case was gone , inside hus map 901 , with 15 topkits , a map margin pole Along with a couple of landing net handles, so if anyone is offered anything which may be joes, let him know. Back to the match and i drew 24 for myself, had kev winstone on my left, so a good banter day, fed three lines , 5mtrs, 13 mtrs,and 14mtrs, short line was a blank, i had a few fish at 13 mtrs, but the bulk of my fish came at 14mtrs, mainly skimmers, the roach didnt seem to want to know again, i thunk i paid the price for not attacking my peg with enough groundbait at the start, kev put 6 balls on one of his longer lines, going into the last 45 minutes i probably had the edge over him, but where i had a couple of small skimmers, kev landed 3 decent ones , so at the end he ended up with 24lb which was enough to win on the day, well done kev, you fished well,shame about your rigs though 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Im not bitter. A close match today, martin rayet on peg 11 was second with 23, and i was 5th with just under 22lb.

Monday and sedges brick lake for the monday over 50.s silver match, breakfast was really nice , 4.8, draw not so nice, peg 16 cold string wind into our bank coming slightly from the right, so expected the tow to be going with the wind, the opposite bank looked nice with the wind off there backs, but put all the clothes on and got on with it, fed two pole lines with groundbait caster and pinkie, 5 and 11 mtrs, but started on the tip with a small groundbait feeder, 30 minutes and nothing in the net, so the pole it was then, very very slow and difficult to get any presentation, but ended up with 3.5 , which was 10 small skimmers and a few.plippy roach, but with jess jordan on peg 11 coming second with 4.8 i defaulted the section money. Kev on peg 3 won with 8.8, weigh sheet below.
