Thursday 22/09/2016 - Amalgamation Autumn League - Round Six - Tockenham Reservior

Usual Stop in Miss Piggy’s and a Pig One devoured, the best breakfasts for sometime.

Disappointing turn out with only 13 fishing. On the car park bank today which according to the pegging scheduled before the start of the series the Dam wall would be pegged which was once again left out. This meant there would be some difficult pegs in the draw. In to the ASDA bag and out comes peg 30. Not happy with this peg as you are looking along the bank 90 degrees to the angler on peg 31 who is facing out into the Lake (pictured right). Plus the inside is shallow for a long way out.

I set up the Normark Feeder, a 3 metre whip and the 10 metre pole with a 4x16 Jolly. Whilst my next door neighbour Scud Jefferies and I were clipping up the feeder the writing was on the wall as he could cast well past me and I was accused straight off for fishing his swim. So very limiting. What got my goat I was looking towards the Dam wall and could see four great pegs with no one on them.

Had a chuck on the feeder with GB laced with caster and triple dead red on the 16 hook. Didn’t take long to get bored as it just sat there. So went on the whip over GB laced with caster with caster on the hook and had a few Perch but no Ronnie’s. So decided to chop some worm and put it out on the 10 metre line in with the GB and caster. This produced a run of small Perch. Really struggling. So decided to sit it out on the feeder which I think was a mistake as I just got bored waiting for a 1oz Perch to finally pick up the hook bait. I did have some excitement hooking a Carp which went in to the Sedges losing the hook length.

I finished the match with a lowly 6lb 8oz beating only four anglers all of which would loved to have been on the Dam wall.

The match was won by Mark Bellringer (pictured right) who took advantage of his end peg to catch 32lb 4oz on the GB feeder. Well done matey.

Full Result:

  1. Mark Bellringer 32-04-0 peg 33
  2. Hughie Evans 27-09-0 peg 20
  3. Steve Jefferies 19-04-0 peg 31
  4. John Smith 19-0-0 peg 24
  5. Mike Jones 16-08-0 peg 25
  6. John Osborne 15-14-0 peg 22
