On my return form Whiteacres I was hoping to fish Alcove's club match on Margret's at Whitehouse Farm . Unfortunately, it was fully booked again. Not sure how the booking system works.
So my next match was the second in the Ron Hardiman Westerleigh summer league. I missed the first round due to being at Whiteacres. Matey Paul Barnfield stood in for me and drew his usual flyer peg 2 on Shipp's weighing with 60 lb 15 oz and a couple of Skimmers to win the silver's and 5 points - midway. Thanks matey. Unluckily for Paul the wind was blowing down the other end where the other draw bag Des Shipp won the match from peg 8 with 182 lb 14 oz a stand in for Ron "Shipp".
My turn on Taylor's Pool. Didn't mind where I drew. Pulled Peg 20. Found myself next to matey Bela Bakos on peg 19 so was going to get some amusement and piss taking for most of the day. Peg 20 is one of the best winter pegs as it holds lots of small Carp. Not much of a margin here due to the reeds both sides. Matey Paul "Beaver" Elms came and helped clear some of the reeds sufficient for a top set only. Decided to give the paste a go today but slightly concerned it might get ragged by the small F1's. Started at three barrels a yep pesterer by 4 oz Crucian's/F1's. So potted in a large helping of micro over the line to keep the Widgers occupied and came in to two barrels over 4's and caught better fish to 2 lb still not match winning size though. Caught steady all day which was very enjoyable. Got a bollocking off of Bela for borrowing one of his nets now taking 4 nets on his command.
I weighed 61 lb 13 oz for 5 points - midway. The pensioner psyches out Roofer with the keep net trick to beat him by 10 lb 😂
