TODAY'S MATCH, SOLHAMPTON.

hi all.
Well another one over.

We all met at strensham services. No one was late. (that on its own was an achievment). We had  a convoy, to the fishery. Had ourselves a breakfast, and a cup of tea. Bought  3 bags of pellets, two 4mm, and one micro. At the draw i drew peg 24, which really did'nt mean a lot, as i never fished the place before.
Got to my peg and set up for the margins,and out in front of me at 5 metres. Whistle  for the all in went at 9.30am. Fed the margins with sweetcorn. Used the toss pot to feed my 6 metre swim. Fed 4mm through the pot. 6 mm on the hook. My match went as follows. 2 small carp, then nothing for a while.
this happened, for most of the match. Had a reasonable 4th hour with a few carp between 4lb and 6lb. There was a few carp in the margins, but could i get a bite. NOPE. Lewis and andy were having a ding dong battle for most of the match, in the corner pegs. Then lewis started to catch more than andy, on a more regular basis. He walked the match in the end. Fair play to the lad, he's only 17. Jon to my left, was using chopped worm throughout the match, and caught steady all match, although they were a smaller stamp of fish. He done me by 7lb. Mark to my right had a nightmare of a match, and finished last. Roy as usual had a first 3 hours moan. He then started to catch, and ended up 4th. That made him happy. Bri dix did'nt have a bite for hours, and ended up third, but he did'nt moan. Nobby's misses must have phoned him 10 times during the match. Every time she phoned, he would swear, and say not again. But when he answered, it was alright love. Yes darling, no darling, okay seetheart bye. Then a bit more swearing when she had hung up. (wonder who wears the trousers in that house). All in all everyone had a good day, banter wise, some actually had a good day's  fishing as well. I came 6th overall, and won a bottle of red wine, and some after eights.No coin again.
