Still behind with the blogs 😂😂😂😂

Thursday and Shiplate for the not so costcutter, costcutter, brrakfast was much improved this week, 4.7, nice one mark. And the post match burgers are very good im told.😉😉. One no show today so 18 today, into the bag of doom and 14b for me, so i moved one swim from last match, carp only today, so pellets meat and corn only, waggler for 25 mtrs, pellet up and down at 14 mtrs, meat short and a margin corn rig.

I thought I would do ok for today, ut i was a bit wrong, ive ended up with 97lb which was good enough for 4th, so no pickup, top on the day was bristol float maker Ryan jordan on peg 11 with 162lb, i would like to say he caught on one of his durable floats , but no i think he was using a prototype bomb that he will be putting into production shortly, a picture with him waving one of his pound coins i had to give back to him on this occasion.

Silvers went to dave wride again with a brilliant 50+lb from peg 3, pic and weigh sheet below.

Sunday and it was the first round of the short pole match, chilton trinity woodland lake for this match, matches at this venue are 13 mtr pole limit, and i think it paid off as there was over 1600lb of fish caught with a 54 lb average, so i think the increase in pole length really helped, as for me ive had a nice peg drawn for me by dave lewis in the shape of 14, old peg 15 ,so a nice left hand margin, it wasnt good for me , ive had one shallow fish in front which was double figures, and 9 more from the margin, but unluckily for me they were of a small size, my ten fish went 66lb for 5th in the section, ryan shipp won the section and came 2nd with 130lb off peg 17, man on fire at the .mat Sheppard, who won off peg 6 with 140lb of margin caught fish, well done mate, keep it up, weigh sheets below.

Monday morning and im off down the a38 again for the sedges silver,s match, today it was on the canal lake, not normally overly popular, but today, there was 22 fishing so only two pegs left out, bue to the willow fluff building up in the two end pegs at the left hand end, would have liked to have been drawn at the left hand end, bit no peg 55 for me , three pegs from the end , but the wrong end, its been hard ive had three decent skimmers, one small skimmer, one goldfish, one rudd and two bumble bee perch, 3lb 10oz and a dustcloud leaving the carpark, the two anglers to my right both declined to weigh in, steve jackson on my left had 4 skimmers and a decent crucian for 4.14, so a poke in the chest for me, top on the day and a more than comfortable win was rob birch on 63 with 22.6, well done rob.
