Early last winter when we could Match fish, I received a phone call from our Club match organizer, telling me he had booked a match on
a local commercial, mid week, he also had opened it up to other clubs, to boost the numbers, so it was going to be worth winning.
I was really up for it spending time preparing, making sure everything was right, bait sorted,rigs rods, all the usual prep.
Morning of the Match weather was cold strong easterly wind, with heavy rain forecast for lunch time on , arrives at the venue to see all
the usual lads, puts money into bucket your on peg 12 was shouted, apparently nice 35 mtr chuck to an island.
Considering the stock levels on this lake are high, it was fishing very poor, anglers struggling all round the lake, but it was cold,
Edit: By Maesknoll, post tidying error, I deleted the punchline....
14lb carp, foul hooked, won the match.
