9th October - Heronbrook

Despite a poor start to the day with no breakfasts available on-site our very own WBAC food coach, sorry angling coach Rick Keeley managed to sort the grub and Heronbrook followed up with the second best weights of the year (bar the Glebe) with 540lb caught on the day and 30lb a man average.

Jeff Grantham ran out the winner with 64.6lb and managed to collect the Golden Peg £100 as well with a carp bag caught on maggot and pellet. Pete Walsh had a moan before the off about were Rick could and couldn't fish as they shared a corner.......interestingly it was full of fish and Pete managed second with 47.9lb on corn over pellet (imagine what he would have had if he had not done it all wrong and fished maggot!!!!). Rick Keeley secured 3rd with 44.1lb without poaching Pete's swim once and got it right on maggot.

Yozzer managed to draw the flyer at the end of the first arm and despite trying to catch at 3m eventually wrinkled out 42.7lb for the section and Ken Stuart also drawn on a bend did similar and snared 39.2lb for his section.

15 of the 19 fishing had 20lb plus and everyone had double figures.......well nearly everyone..........someone had the famous "new box" jinx!!! Purchased from Jamies "Tackle Emporium"...sorry.....Pickup its very comfortable, has an adjustable seat to go up and down, swivels left and right.........in fact all these features were tested to destruction but none whilst landing a fish......our only DNW was Billy "Two Hats" Gore!! Ste Brew and I have decided to buy Billy a new number plate for his van, B111 DNW sprang to mind unless you can come up with a better one.

I'd just like to add Mr Grantham has at last found his mojo and beat me when I was on his left......its took about 8 go's now but he's done it.........I'm hoping its a one off!! Wish I could say the same when drawing next to my nemesis.....Dave Gentile.......he is kicking my butt every week I am pegged near him of late, 3 on the bounce now (I hope I'm pegged miles away from him next week!)
