Three at a time

All a bit short i must admit, i must try and get on top of these blogs 😁😁 Thursday and back to shiplate for the costcutter with an optional superpool. So on site breakfast done which is ok to be fair, 4.35. draw underway and out comes peg 15 for me, tom Thick had won off it at the weekend with 80lb, so hopefully there would be a few carp around, so i set up a shallow rig for slapping, a depth rig for out in front, a short meat rig, a margin rig for down towards the end bank,

and a wag for pellet on the deck at 25mtrs, it all looked good, the only other angler i could really see was roy ede over on peg 1.

It was a hard day, one skimmer on the short line, a few more on the pellet on the deck and a couple of small ( by this lakes standards) carp , nothing shallow, had a couple on the wag, again smallish, and four down the edge, my 8 carp and near double figures of silvers went 58lb which surprisingly was top on the day, just beating merv clark on 11 by a few pounds, steve kedge won the silvers from peg 4 with over 30lb,

Sunday and we had a shop outing on the sea for a team "bonding" day on teddy boy charters with mikey out of minehead , it was a good day with plenty of banter and plenty of bites, 9 differnt species caught, rays, huss .doggies, cod,bass, hounds conger, the day will be documented on the shops Facebook page so i wont dwell on it here, but it was a mkst enjoyable day.

Monday, chis fox booked acorn for a match, 26 max , and it filled up quickly. really good breakfast in the wessex flyer in whitchurch, 4.65(no tinned tomatoes), only one no show , down to excess alchohol, we all new where we wanted to be, so after pulling out peg 25 for myself i wasnt to confident, i had long time friend alan oram to my right on 23 , and craig challingsworth on 26 to my left , with bob "bunghole"gullick living up to his name and drawing peg 5 we.would all be fishing for second , and thats what happened ,bob won with 170+, well done second with 140+ was matty hamilton on peg 1 , and third spot went to glen Calvert on 19 with 116lb, top silvers was kev perry on 17 with 37lb, and sue faiers showing better half paul hiw its meant to be done with 25lb off peg 20, me , well i had 68lb(nearly) for absolutely nowhere at all, always next week 😂😂
