Pegleg,
i'm sure their are a couple of spaces free.....slip me a tenner and i'll clear it with Mike.
If no one has a spare net i'll return the silver fish as i catch them and just weigh in carp.....if the carp switch on it may pay to have a rota for weighmen that way we can keep the numbers of carp in nets to a minimum, what do you all think?
I have'nt got a pole! I have a 20ft rod though - is that allowed? I'm not really interested in being included in the match though, to be honest, I would just like to enjoy the day. Mind you the one's I would catch will be too big for the keepnets anyway!!!!!!! ha ha ha ha
I always say Carp, that 'if you give it, you gotta be prepared to take it'! I certainly give it some at times, so........... bring it on big fella! ha ha ha ha ha
I was thinking of taking tut baggin' wagglers and get em all feeding on the top at forty yards and then making you all pig sick as I pull out carp after carp, but I've banned myself from using it to give you all a chance.
however chaps don't overlook the margin fishing, the real big un's live under the boards but you will need strong tackle to stop there first run.
Sedge as far as I know fish as long as you want. But I'm sure the boy's will be relocating to the local hostlery to find a decent mixed grill and a pint of best.
Congratulations to whoever won in the end - was it Rik?
I must say it was nice to see you chaps, sorry I didn't get to speak to everyone, but some of you know the reason I wasn't at my best. Hopefully it won't be too long before we can have another get-together - and next time I will be nipping along between the pegs to see how you are all getting along.
We struggled a little to find a pub for the presentation, bot eventually found one in Banbury.
Stu Dexter came 1st with four carp for 12lb odd. Rik was 2nd with the biggest fish at 9lb 151/2oz and I came 3rd with a tench for 2lb 81/2oz, just pipping Brummie for it.
Is it hardly surprising I blanked? In the two pegs to my left I had Grommice The Wallet Marsden and Limestone Preston and to the right I had Dave Colclough and Gary Knowles...And when Gary started throwing his sandwiches into the lake every duck in Oxfordshire appeared...mind, I wasn't too hard on him, after all it's the only time in his life he's had birds after him...
