This was the 5th match in a series of 6 and was held on Long and Stock pools - we've had 4 matches on the main match pool (Monk), what with the problem with Whitespot and low water levels it was time for a change.
Only 9 brave souls turned up but at least we all caught fish this week.
The result was:
1st Andy Woods 8.2.0 stock
2nd Rose Beale 7.14.0 long
3rd Dave Watson 3.10.0 long
4th Bill Tolley 3.5.0 long
5th Geoff Eggison 2.11.0 long
6th John Brookes 1.10.0 long
7th Paul Roberts 1.7.0 long
8th Bette Rowlands 1.0.8 stock
9th Arthur Jeffcoat 0.4.8 stock
Andy managed a few chub, a carp, some roach and perch on the feeder and the waggler. Rose did her usual - she sits, she waits and gets one bite (always near the match end) hooks a big carp and lands it after it's twice been under the pallet!! Dave W. started off with a fish a chuck on the caster then died with 2 hours to go. Bill Tolley lost a good carp, Eggo lost a good goldfish .... me? I never hooked anything big (went ****-or-bust for the chub/carp).
99% of the roach were in excellent condition so fingers crossed the dreaded Whitespot has disappeared.
Made a lovely change to fish the match on Long/Stock, catch fish AND sit in the sun for most of the day (won't be long before we can strip off and fish!!) CAN'T WAIT!!!!!
As it stands, Andy cannot be beaten unless he doesn't turn up on the last match (Geoff, take him out for a beer
the night before,then we might stand a chance!)
Sorry, no pic's today (my wife
took it to Crufts to take pic's of our 'mutt' who was competing - he got a silver medal (at least someone in the Roberts house-hold won something!)
