With Bela away in Spain
Tony’s league has 56 anglers in eight sections of seven. The league is based on the highest number of sections points – so it is very doubtful that Silvers only will win this league, but may possibly win a reasonable amount of coin.
I decided to leave it late to draw today and pulled peg 66 on Lodge. I was reasonably happy with this, even though it is an out and out Carp peg. So I set up two paste rigs – one for the right hand margin – top set and the other for 12 metres to the left up to the end peg empty pallet. I fed the right hand margin very heavy from the off with pellet, corn and caster. I started on the paste to the left with kinder potted paste and a few 4mm pellet. Within 20 seconds I had my first bite and a 4lb Carp in the net. The upshot was – a flyer Carp peg, three float repairs, three replacement hooks and fifteen Carp to 10lb for a total weight of 128lb 10oz for first overall, a pick up of £110 and that valuable section win.
Runner up was Tim Clark (pictured right in some very strange over sized clothes – Tim fell in backwards off his pallet at the start and needed to borrow some dry clothes - what a funny stance, water must have been cold) with 125lb 4oz from peg 116. Well done matey – it must have been that heavy initial feed!!
The Silvers was won by Andy Lloyd from peg 123 with 46lb 3oz – has Andy taken over drawing this peg from Steve Kedge? When will it be my turn?
The full result is shown on the attached video – well it would have been if TR hadn’t "Bxxxxxk’s" it up – take a look.
