not one to remember

with most lakes being covered in ice to a thickness of 3 inches or more most people had had enough of ice breaking so martin mcmahon came up with the bright idea of going to the feeder canal, and what started off with as half a dozen sweep turned in to a 17 peg sweep. as there is no peg fee on this venue i just made it a tenner all in paying the top 3 and 2 sections. i drew peg 16 which was one off the downstream end peg. one rig again today , a 2grm jolly to a 22 and .10 hooklength, and even with the nasty downstream skim it went through just lovely. at the start i cuppedin 1 ball of dark g bait with a few pinkies in and fired about 6 mags to the far bank at 18 mtrs, i had thought we would get a few bites as up until the previous weekend it had been fishing quite well with lots of small roach and dace being caught but not today , i cant bore you any more but everyone blanked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 people did claim to have had bites, but i think they were suffering from ibs ,no not irritable bowel syndrome it was more like imaginary bite syndrome, good news was the weigh in didnt take long which is just as well as i forgot the scales. so any clubs out there looking for a for a fair match venue , look no further and its very cheap to fish as you dont need to buy any bait. the payout took longer than anything else as i had to walk along and give them all there pools money back. it was strange as everyone fished right to the end as 1 fish would have taken all the money. i cant understand why i couldnt get any interest for another go next week
