Three matches, a bit short but also a bit sweet.

Really must try and do these blogs a bit quicker, these matches have already been reported on FB or with other blogs so thus will be short. Thursday and the last round of the huntstrete silvers pairs league, well run by dave gillard, even with the constant heckling,😂😂, well done, my pairs partner , pete turner couldn't make it today so i had super sub brian Derrick standing in again, best was going to be third in the pairs to be fair, we drew ok, myself on 51 behind the island , its been ok for reasonable silvers with a good chance of a carp or two, my partner was the next peg to my left on 51, been a good peg so far, well i have had plenty of bites from small fish including my most detested fish, micro rudd, but ive had bites all day to end up with 11lb, plus two carp on meat to the island for 22lb for a total weight of 33lb, but the emphasis is on silvers, which paul barnfield on 57 moaned and talked 11.4 into his net, my partner struggled for just under 4lb, but it was still good enough to keep us in third, so a bit of a pickup, top pairs was mike nicholls with tony ponting, beating long time leaders kev(where's me quid) and hughie (eggo)evens on weight.top on the day was the Weston super mare journey man dave wride with 14.3. Weigh sheets below.

sunday and the Landsend winter league, which i was leading going into this match, my turn on match lake and i really needed to avoid one of the pegs of doom, but no i end up on what has been one of the worst pegs on the lake apart from on the first match when mike duckett was top on the lake off it,yep peg 9, much merriment at the draw 😂😂😂😂. First three hours and with a 1lb skimmer all i had for my efforts, i was concerned, but not suprised, ive had to look across at leon hubbard on 15 and jason radford on 13 catching carp, also to my right dave(pole breaker)mealing on 11 catching silvers and odd carp, and silvers expert dave ings on my left doing what he does best battering the f1,s and small silver,s. Ive ended up fishing 14 and 16 mtrs to my right, on hard pellet, ending up with 6lb of f1,s and the loan skimmer, but did get 5 carp aswell for 32lb total, 7th on the lake so better than expected, i think it may be tight at the top now, but ive not seen the overall results yet as the man whi does the working out has gone down with covid, but daily sheets below.

Monday and a bit of a knockup at acorn , only 11 of us for this first one , hopefully i will try and do them fortnightly, next one on 4th of april so book in with me or at the fishery with zoe. peg one today, fished hard 8mm pellet on all far bank areas to weigh 109lb to win, luckily Gary Bowden to my lefy on three started catching late on his favourite paste bait towards the end, ending with 78lb ror second, shaun (ferris)kittridge won the silvers off 17 with 17lb, weigh sheet below.
