Couldn't help noticing the for sale sign outside the fishery this morning which has just gone on the market. Steve and Carol off on a well deserved retirement - All details:

I thought it good value, Lets hope it stays as a fishery for all.The Chuckle Twins were here today - Spike and Goggles - pictured right.
After a double shuffle of the swim cards and placed on the bench in orderly lines I went for the first one down hoping it would be peg 1!! It wasn't as peg 13 was looking back at me - unlucky for some. Got to the peg and found Paul Faiers on next peg 13A, so good company.
I was hoping to fish this peg the same as peg 14, however, after plumbing around could only find 30 inches of water out to five metres where it gradually sloped into slightly deeper water - no shelf close in - a bit disappointing. The peg got a couple of inches deeper to the left so move the seat box to the peg extremities to the left. Decided to stay in the shallow water at top set plus two barrels. However, the LH margin was to die for two foot deep right up to boards hidden in the bank side vegetation. But knew Carp wont come in here until the last knockings. So two paste floats - a Bullet for the margin and a 0.3 gram for out at 10 o'clock trying to get as much depth as possible whilst fishing short. Fed both lines with pot of micro starting on the long line and first put in had a 7 lb angry Carp. Subsequently pleasantly surprised to start catching Skimmers. However, it didn't last long and the nibblers arrived. I tried a worm over the top which just got ragged by the nibblers which were small Ronnie's. Had a quick look in the margin with paste and found more nibblers, Decision made to set up the short Ronnie rig and started in the margin with caster over loose fed caster and caught Ronnie's regularly, but found a tree a nuisance so switch to out in front and had a good few hours - my typed of fishing - very busy. As expected just after the last hour started I hooked a Carp which broke me killing the out in front fishing, so went into the margin and kept a few more Ronnie's coming as I knew by now that the only way to coin was the Silvers. That was until I saw a Carps tail waving at me from the margin - come and get me. So in with the paste on the margin top set and caught eight more Carp - some right beast.My Silvers weighed 26 lb made up of 8 lb of Skimmers and circa 100 Ronnie's for 18 lb this got me a third in the Silvers default - so mission partly completed. My 9 Carp weighed 77 lb 15 oz for a fifth overall total of 103 lb 15 oz.
Two Pots was opposite and all I seen him do all day was pot bait, so was surprised he had time to catch 118 lb 4 oz for also a default pick up. Pictured right weighing in.
The match was won be Tich (pictured upper right with the Silvers winner) with 224 lb 12 oz from flyer peg 1. Tich caught a few slapping and long pole, but caught most of his Carp on the method down to the end bank. All on pellet.
The Silvers was won by Tony Rixon with 37 lb 8 oz from peg 4. See his blog for details of how he caught them on 6 mm hard pellet short.
Our first stop in a pub since lock down, the beer didn't touch the sides. Nice ebd to another great day out.
