We had breakfast in Lillypool Cafe. It's had a complete refurbish since last there. The breakfast was excellent especially the sausage. Expensive, but only get what you pay for.
Didn't expect the need to give Kev instructions on how to get to Avalon from the cafe. Yep, he took the wrong turning - Duh. Never a dull moment with Kev's driving - very exciting white knuckles come to mind.
Nice to catch up with Vic Bush, Steve Kedge, Incognito and others
Twenty four fishing so every peg in on the far in on the far bank where you can now park behind every peg. I was being over watched by a large Heron, it didn't come down after my flying Ronnie's - pictured
Into the draw bag and peg 40 for me. Arrived at the peg which was on the end of the second island and thought might have a day on the pellet waggler but was deterred by the wind. So silvers it would be.
Potted a few casters down tight to the RH margin, fed the long line with a ball of hard GB laced with caster, micro and chopped worm. Started down the edge with double caster and had a few small Ronnie's with no sign of Perch went out long with a worm and although the wind was strong presentation was good. However no signs, not even from a Ronnie. Looking around a fair few were fishing for silvers and all struggling early doors, so fed the long line again a kept an eye open for any sign of a blow. Meanwhile started on the Ronnie rig with single caster over loose fed caster. It was a bite a chuck from mainly small Ronnie's and the odd decent Rudd and bloody loads of Mutterless Minnows. Kept trying the long line with worm but no signs and topping up afterwards. The upshot was I don't have the ability to sit 6 hours for 5 bites so with no signs of Skimmers spent the last last couple of hours on the Ronnie rig trying different feeding etc.. to avoid the Minnows.
Had around 300 fish for 12 lb 4 oz. which surprisingly left me one out of the silvers pool.
The match was won by Incognito (pictured with the silvers winner) with 73 lb 5 oz from peg 26. Howard caught on his usual Tea Bag method. Well done matey.
The silvers was taken by Phil Dodds with 21 lb 8 oz from peg 34. Phil caught on the cage feeder with micro and worm feed with worm on the hook. He caught four big Bream and one Perch. Well done matey.
Well done to Kev for second in the silvers with 19 lb 3 oz. Kev got platformed by a foul hooked Bream using knicker elastic.
Back to Wells Spoons for a couple or three pints of Guinness's with the usual lads.
