Sunday and a rare trip to Viaduct for chris and me, stopped off in the brewers fayre in street for breakfast , very tasty, bumped into clint wojtyla and leon hubbard who were also there for breakfast, clint had 2 or 3 of everything on his plate, not really to healthy but he felt it would be ok as he was going to deposit two natural yoghurts on top of the fry up, obviously working for clint😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.

Got to the fishery and drew 112 for myself, decided to fish corn short for silvers and pellet at 13 mtrs, shoukd have set up a wag aswell but didnt(mistake), at the start i began on the short line with corn, 1 hour later and one skimmer, that wasnt going to work then, so 13 mtrs on pellet, a couole more skimmers and a carp but that wasnt cutting it either, just over halfway through and i was off the box, putting some new line on a reel and setting the wag up for pellet on the deck, i had 6 more carp on that, i really ought to start listening to myself , finished with 78lb for nowhere, sam Williams won off 131 with 136lb, well done. And nigel easton on my left won the silvers with 39lb, mainly on caster.

rig Monday and a day boat fishing out of watchet on the lorna doone, skippered by tom(tommo)Wright, only 5 of us on there, dan and jamie shipp, long time good friend dean malin, and judith and me. Only an inshore trip, nust as well as the wind was going to be strong but mainly off the shore, we have a mix of fish to be sure, thornback ray, spotted and blond, the biggest being a 13lb blond caught by dan on a micky mouse tiny poachers rod.

Judith had a nice huss just short of 12lb and i haf a decent 11lb+ cod, it also poured down for over three hours, and with no waterproof trousers, to say i was damp was an understatment, but it was still enjoyable and makes a nice change,

Dean seems very pleased fo me, LOL 😂😂😂. Thursday and back to plantation main lake for another silvers match, 19 fishing, only had 18 tickets in the draw, so redraw it was then, everyone took it well, peg 5 for me , mark broomsgrove on 4 to my right and phil Morgan on 7 to my left, i fed three lines, topset and one, 9 mtrs and 11 mtrs, caught fish on all lines, but the short line was by far and away the most productive, skimmers of all sizes , some roach and perch aswell, a lot harder than the last match, but we have had a lot of rain which may have upset the fish, it was a close match, Kev winstone won off of 26 with 35lb, nice one kev and about time 👍👍😉😉. There were 8 weights over 30lb with the fish well spread out all round the lake, a brilliant venue.oh yes and it rained again,
