DAVE HOARE'S MATCH REPORT

Heres Daves latest match result. (they've got problems with low rivers?).


MAGGOTS END.


RODS AND REELS.

The match this week was the 5th in the winter Championship, this is a series of 11 matches with the best 8 to count.It was held on the Rio Segura at Murcia, and with an unprecedented turnout of anglers, 27 fished,and the match stretch was from the bottom of the ramp up to opposite the hospital.Although the river has been fishing well, it was a struggle for all,on the day. This could have been attributed to the fact that the river was some 9 inches to a foot lower than normal, giving anglers only a couple of feet of water.Clive who came 2nd had a long walk to fish a swim not normally pegged. He said that he struggled for most of the match,but in the last couple of hours the fish started feeding, and he lost some really big fish. Something not experienced by the rest of us.

Top rods on the day.

1st. Austin (cambridge) Veith. fishing the feeder using corn with 7.300 kilo's.

2nd. Clive (golf no more) Cleghorn. fishing the pole using corn with 7.000 kilo's.

3rd. Dave (yours truly) Hoare.fishing the pole using maggot with 6.800 kilo's.

dAVE hOARE'S MATCH REPORT

MATCH REPORT SUNDAY.

22nd November.  Drummonds Dubb.


Eight anglers turned up, three of them were guests (good job for guests eh!).
I'am afraid there will not be any photo's, today on this match, because some idiot decided to drop is camera in a deep puddle,as he got out of the van. Will the guilty please raise you hand?.

Okay i have put my hand down now, so i can write the report, so here goes.

Draw was at 8-45am. Please God give me an high number, "i drew peg 2". We left out permanent pegs 1, and 2, as they are too shallow. So we moved them up a bit. (one day i will draw the deeps). Adrian Davis drew peg 5, as he's done well on this peg before, he was happy. Bian Dix drew end peg 8 , and Nick Willis (guest) drew peg 7, both in the deeps, they where very happy. Me, and Terry Raybold (guest) peg 1,drew the wrong end, and we where not to chuffed. The rest where reasonably happy with there's.
The all in went at 9-45am. Out went the feeder with chopped worm, and red maggot on the hook. Re-cast several times to get some bait out there. Waited half an hour for my first fish, a skimmer  about 4 oz's. The hook got caught in the landing net. Now as i use barbed hooks for silvers (where aloud) it was a problem getting it out, without damaging it. No such luck it bent out of shape, so i had to change my hook length.
My match went pretty steady with a few skimmers, before the small roach decided to put in an appearence. Lightening bites resulted in a lot of missed bites, maggots chewed to bits (hair pulling job, or what). Came in on the pole line, and tried it for half an hour, to give the feeder line a rest, and hopefully the small roach would p--s off by the time i went back out there. Half hour, and 4 small roach later, i decided to throw the pole up the bank, and go back out on the feeder. First put in i had a skimmer  for about a pound, cheered me up a bit.
Next put in a roach, bit bigger than the eye's i was catching earlier. Decided to put a bigger hook on , with a new hook length, size 16's. Put three red maggot,s on, hoping for bigger fish. It worked to an extent, that the roach where a littlt bigger, with the odd  decent skimmer thrown in. Alas my fishing skills are limited, so i stuck with this, to the end of the match. The all out went at 3-45pm. I had 43 fish for 14-6-0. Beat both anglers either side of me, so was happy with that. Adrian Davis ain't to happy with peg  5 anymore. The fancied deeps came good with 2nd, and 3rd. Fair play to dickie on peg 4, he beat the fancied pegs to win the match, well done dickie. It rained,and rained, the wind was blowing a gale, but besides soggy ciggies,and cold hands it was an enjoyable silvers match. To my camera R.I.P. Paid out top two, not sure what they won, as i finished out of the coin (again) so i did'nt  really care. I know sour grapes.
Got a spare camera so shall be alright for next week.

1st Dick Lewis. Peg 4.   20-11-0.

Your family are all snuggly, still in their nice warm bed's.

Fact 2. You get to the match, and its freezing, you may or may not get a good draw.(still don't know what a good draw is in winter).

Your family may be stirring from there nice warm slumber.

Fact 3. The next 5 hours could be pure hell.

Your family has had a nice breakfast, a nice snack for dinner, and about five lovely cups of tea, during those five hours.

Fact 4. You pack away, witness the weigh in, drive home in the dark, thawing out with the cars heater on full blast.

Your families had a nice cosy day with the central heating blasting out all day, They,ve watched the live footie on the box. there ready for there tea now, waiting for you to get home.

Fact 5. Really speaking who are the nutter's here. C'mon why do we do it. All answers to the mental health insitute please.
