Officially Winter League 5 but actually our 4th match as the 18th Dec was cancelled due to the weather and we need to agree at the next meeting if this will move to a best 5 from 9 league or fit another match in.
Anyway onto the fishing, most unusually we had no floating features to fish to this week (ice) and nothing to do when we arrived other than peg out (to get warm a few suggested synchronised star jumps but with the combined fitness level of WBAC members that was never going to happen!). A reasonable day weather-wise other than a cold blustery wind making fishing long difficult.
The resident carp all but shut up shop and Ian S and Jeff fought it out for top spot going roach for roach for 5 hours on maggot. Ian kept having a odd look for carp long, but Jeff stuck to the roach as his appeared a smaller stamp. After 5 hours all agreed Ian S had it and was a good 5-10lb clear. The scales however disagreed and his 25.2lb only just sneaked ahead of Jeff's 24.6lb.
Billy Gore took 3rd with 16.9lb with a few decent skimmers in amongst another roach net taken mostly at 6m having given up on the carp to the island. Ian Lloyd took A Section with 12.6lb and Mick Flanagan B Section with 12.6lb but both admitted making the mistake of going for carp for too long. Conway seems to let you have an early carp / F1 just to play with your head......you can't resist then having a go for a few more!!!
With 4 matches gone Mick Flanagan leads the league from Dougie then Steve Brew but until 5 matches are fished and you start dropping results its still all to play for.
Result
1st - Ian Simpson - 25.2lb (Peg - 1st past tree LHS)
2nd - Jeff Grantham - 24.6lb (Peg - 1st past the boards)
3rd - Billy Gore - 16.9lb (Peg - first peg LHS to visible island)
Sec A - Ian Lloyd - 12.6lb (Peg - the boulder)
Sec B - Mick Flanagan - 13.1lb (Peg - the boards)
