After last year when we came to Baden and the fish were everywhere spawning we agreed to give it another chance but after this match I think its a trip too far for what are hit and miss results. To be fair it fished okay were there was more room but the peg fees and distance mean there are better, fairer venues more locally available.
Billy Gore and Ian Lloyd drew the bottom corner by the sunken islands and had spare pegs either side which they were able to exploit to catch on the feeder and down the margin including carp and an odd barbel along with a few skimmers. At the weigh in they couldn't be seperated and a tie was declared with 32.5lb each. (I reckon Billy deserved it as he also caught a rod and reel that he couldn't weigh in.......although it had been in for a while by the looks of things.)
Graham Aveyard drew the opposite end peg to Billy and couldn't quite make enough of the room but weighed in with 32.3lb of carp and a few skimmers on the method to the far bank to easily take 3rd spot.
Most of the banter came after Jeff drew Golden Peg 1 and Ian Simpson GP2 and when Jeff said "shall we go halves" there were a few words of abuse flying around as not knowing Baden Hall no one knew how it would fish............as it was, the 'concerned abuse' before the all in turned to 'mocking and ridcule' as the match progressed as Jeff and Ian struggled to get bites, pegged next to each other, even on maggot. As it was if they had pooled their catch to 19lb odd it still wouldn't have even made 3rd place.
All I have to say is serves you all right........we were was gonna buy the round if we'd won it, now you can get stuffed.....haha!!!!!

1st= - Billy Gore - 32.5lb
