Well no weather warnings to speak of this week a few gusts here and there nothing spectacular however we were rewarded with a heartening display from a new member Mike Richardson.
He recently failed miserably on his first guest outing to be welcomed as a member with "if you always fished like that you can have discounted membership matey", he then managed to catch 52lb on his first proper match and this week he had a starring role........no not fishing, he was last with 9lb odd but he managed to fall off his box backwards as his seatbox legs collapsed to howls of laughter and requests for "can we have a replay"......with no replay forthcoming and a bit of huffing Mike did the honourable thing and managed to smash his no4 section about an hour later like a gunshot to be greeted with "whip crack away, whip crack away, whip crack awaaaaay!"........to round off the day tipping four silvers onto the scales to top up a couple of carp he dumped 3 out of 4 on the grass "have you done this before", " did you face the lake" " did you try using bait".....Mike the guys clearly love you as these are real terms of endearment reserved for the truely memorable feats performed on club duty!
Any way onto the match, a slow affair with few carp showing bar by the top island and Barry (BIIOGOR) Davis snared seven and some silvers from the top right hand corner to weigh 27.8lb. Colin Cook stuck with pellet on the right of the first island but the carp were few and far between but he did enough with 23.9lb of roach, chub, skimmers and 2 small carp. Jason Connah started slowly and finished slowly (sorry thats him rigging up and tackling down) He had a few early munters from open water in between he two island and added a few smaller samples before progressing to skimmer bashing until it all dried up on pellet and he struggled thereafter but managed 3rd with 23.6lb and took the shiny £1 off Mr Brew......I understand its 9 v 4 to Mr B at the moment.
Result
1st - Barry "bib it in / only got one rig" Davis - 27.8lb
2nd - Colin Cook - 23.9lb
3rd - Jason Connah - 23.6lb
