oops back out of the comfort zone

with the teams of 4 cancelled , the only left to do was run an open at avalon which was to be the first match in the series. the next match was scheduled for bullocks on the 11 oct so we will have another open so anyone wishing to partake give me a ring at the shop, 01179517250,back to avalon.peg 25, so near yet so far to peg 24.
i would love to report that i had kept the winning streak from wednesday but no, i had 3 fish in the first hour that went 33lb , 2 on pellet on the deck and 1 on paste all at 14 mtr,s and apart from a few foulers during the next 5 hours it was pooh. i even contemplated river fishing again , but after beating myself with my half ex around the head several times , i quickly realised that it was never going to happen. i have had this happen here before when you get a few early fish then nothing, i think i will put it down to a case of bad angling or it could be not enough fish in the peg , it wasnt until the last 30 mins that i got a few bubbles back and i fouled 2 fish in the last 10 minutes, never mind there is always wednesday. first on the day was the dodge miester aka dave downton with 115.2 on peg 7 on solvite at 13 mtrs
2nd was gary wall 109.10 peg 28 on green solvite at 16 mtr
3rd clayton hudson 85.9 peg12 wag and pellet
4th ron hardiman 61 peg 24
5th vic(leadchucker)bush 57.1 peg 5
6th martin lenaghan 55.5 peg 33
silvers chris derrick 17.12 all shallow at 13mtr on caster, he seems to have the silvers here sorted right out
the only person not to weigh was pete wild who took 5 and 3/4 hours to land his first fish, he is off t0 whiteacres shortly to fish the parkdean , i bet there are a lot of people going that hope he is in there section, but he was pegged next to me and i think we were in a bit fishless area , as the wind has been northerly for 2 weeks now the fish seem to have shifted down the lake slightly,
talking to liegh he was telling me that they are getting 3 big bubblers put in which will only help, also they intend to chalk it next year which seems to kickstart lakes into fishing well, and as most fishery owners will tell you it can be a long and difficult journey sometimes until fisheries begin to realise there true potential, with a lot of trial and error needed until it comes good, but without the support of anglers it can be hard . luckily leigh and vic have the support of quite a few anglers be it match, pleasure and speci boys who enjoy the fishing and surroundings, as far as matches go it good to go to a venue where different pegs win.

  3. Rip Off should have switched to the Silvers after the two Munters! Did they end up in Specimen Pool?
