Monday was our day off from match fishing so the lads went
on to Carey Lake thrashing about with wagglers and
straight lead. They did more or less have eight creatures each with a typical
one pictured left holding Glenn Bailey!
As for me I don’t do pleasure fishing so I cleaned the
tackle and prepared for the next match. I then had a leisurely walk around the
fishery visiting the Viaduct shop where I met Glyn Reynolds the Frenzee sales
representative (pictured right with their new dual Pole sock, also known as the
“Madonna with the big Boobies”)! I must say it looks like Frenzee have some
interesting new products I was impressed with their toss pots and rod range –
worth a look.
The boys came back to tie some rigs with Martyn and Glynn
pictured right – look away now those that think tackle box tidiness is a sign
of a sick mind!
So today it was off to the Acorn Fishery for their Tuesday
Cost Cutter on Paddocks. In to the Ping Pong Bag and out comes ball three and
six - 36. A peg I have yet to fish so happy with it – you can’t be anything
else until then. Arriving at the peg it was cheering to see that the wind had
been blowing in to it – with some surface scum evident. Colin Dyer added to me
glee by saying that there were some of the bigger venue fish in the swim. There
were a few Carp showing down to the aerator pallet.
Just the two rigs – a LH margin paste and a Ronnie rig. I
decided as usual to start with this rig with caster hoping for a few quick
Silvers – Ronnie’s and Skimmers. But after 20 minutes not a bite – Umm. Packed
that away and went with the paste rig feeding hard 4’s. I was soon in to my
first fish a 3lb 4oz Tench! That was the sum total of Silvers – well Greens.
The upshot was I caught as predicted by Colin the better size fish steady
throughout the match by lightly feeding hard 4’s, feeding about ¼ pint
throughout the match. I had 12 fish in one net and about 19 smaller ones in
another with 5 minutes to go I caught another and thought that I should start a
new net but because of the time decided against it. I ended up going 1lb 14 oz
over on this net. I Weighed 135lb 2oz
which had the forfeit deducted. This was good enough for first on the day
beating the boy AGAIN – pictured right with his runners up catch. Like Mark on
Sunday Glynn also broke his Maver pole section 6 which went out in a whimper in
comparison to Marks Sensas.
The Silvers was won by Dave Wride (pictured lower right with the
match winner who stole his Acorn crown today – AGAIN) with 16lb 4oz from peg 27. Dave
caught his Silvers on Meat and later maggot over maggot.
