ROUND 6, PERMALI'S WINTER LEAGUE.

DRUMONDS DUBB.
APRIL 4TH 2010.
DRAW 9-00AM.
FISH 10-00AM TO 4-00PM.
THE MACTHES ARE NOW 6 HOURS.

PRE-MATCH.

The last series match started with some nogging ripping my wing mirror
off my van a day before. This week it's a dead van. Great isn't it.
Need to get a new battery, but can't afford it just yet. Was meant to
have fished a charity match Friday, but no transport. So if matt the
organisor is reading this, sorry mate, i was looking forward to it.

Dick Lewis picked me up this morning at 7.30am. As Dick needs to get
there early, so he can organise everything. Lost half hours kip
because of that poxy battery. All 12 Anglers turned up on time for
the draw, good bunch of blokes, except they all keep stuffing me at
fishing. (hate you bleeding lot really, he he). Well they say things
come in three's, so with my van, it's two down,and one to go.
First the mirror, then the battery, number three will probably be
the van going up in smoke. So if you see an ex BT grey van driving on
the Gloucester to Ross road in two weeks billowing with smoke, and
some fat bugger hanging out of the window, you know it will be me.

THE DRAW.

Jason (nelly) Wellington drew Dicks peg first, he pulled out peg 8,same peg
drawn for him last week, so he was'nt to happy about it. Nelly!, sorry i
mean Jason, drew is own peg out next, and drew the same peg he had last
match which was peg 11. Crazy , first two drawn, drew the same pegs as
last match. I drew next, and preceded to draw peg 12, one peg away from last
time. Andy drew this peg last match, and had 16lb, so i should get half of
that hopefully. Terry vacated his normal residence, and moved from peg 9, to
peg 7, YES the bloody flier on the road side. Thats like moving from a two
bed terrace, to a 14 bed mansion, luck of some bloody people is amazing.
Peg 7 as never been out of the top two in section all series. No wonder
he was all happy like. Bri Dix drew peg 3, which has'nt really performed
this series, with just the odd reasonable weight coming off it. Barry had
is favourite peg again, peg 2, not very amusing aye Barry (unless your
writing this blog that is) he he. Nick Willis again drew peg 6, unbelievable
really ain't it. He thought it was quite amusing, i wonder if thats got
anything to do with it being as good as peg 7. Peg 9 (Terry's house) went
to Steve Bee, he was kinda chuffed too. Series leader Andy drew peg 5, i
think he was hoping for a better draw, so he could stay top of the series.
He sure had his work cut out for himself today. Tommy drew peg 4, and nobody
fancied this peg, as even in the summer it never seems to win. Richard drew
peg 10, he was okay with that. Steve Evans fancied an end peg, and got it,
he drew peg 13. Smiles all around again from Steve.

THE ALL IN.

Fed the pole line first with two small balls of groundbait, with micro pellet
over the top. Then casted out the feeder with chopped worm, and groundbait.
On my third cast the tip moved, and a minute later a skimmer graced the net.
My match started brilliantly, with 18 skimmers coming to the feeder in the
first hour, and a half of the match. Then it just slowed right down. As i
have said before, my feeder fishing skills are limited, so i really did'nt
have a clue what to try next. I gave it half an hour, with nothing, so i
changed to the pole. Fed a little feed through the pole pot, and used a
4mm expander on the hook. I managed one skimmer. The tow on the water
was unbelievable, my 0.75 gram float was actually lying almost flat, so
the presentation was terrible. The tow stayed strong for the remainder
of the match, as i kept trying it in periods. The rest of the match
i fished the feeder. I managed another 9 skimmers, and a handful of
Roach. I finished the match with 28 skimmers, and like i said a few
Roach for 13lb dead. Steve Evans to my left weighed 20lb odd, catching
most of his fish in the last hour, and an half. Jason to my right, again
preformed well to win the section with 25lb+. So again i was hammered
both sides of me. I was talking to Jason after the match, about what
happened with my swim, and how it slowed right down. He asked what length,
hook length i was using, and i stated about 6 inches. He then explained to me
that when i was catching well the fish were having it on the bottom, when
it slowed down there was a possibiltiy the fish were coming up in the water,
and intercepting the bait. He said he was using a 3 foot hooklength, and
caught all day. To be honest i never even thought about the fish coming up
in the water, did'nt think they did when feeder fishing. But compare his
weight with mine, and i know who a beginner would listen too.. I must admit
a couple of times when i did'nt have a bite for a while, i struck the rod,
and ended up hitting a fish. So yeah in hindsite they were up in the water.
Well you learn something new everyday. That one will stay in the brain
from now on. Simple when you think about it, is'nt it. But i did'nt realize
the fish came off the bottom when feeder fishing. What an IDIOT i'am.
Oh! well put it down to experience. Well done anyway Jason for winning
the section, after you gave me the tips you deserved it. Steve Evans coming second
in section just in front of Richard by a couple of ounces (1 skimmer).

In "A" section, the section was won by terry, YEP! peg bloody 7 again.
Andy fished a blinder to come second off his dodgy peg, well done Andy.
Brian finishing third just behind Andy with 18lb+. All roach, and 1 tench,
well done Brian, good weight that, considering you never had a skimmer.
It was a good day, no rain, everybody weighed in fish. Even with my limited
feeder skills i still enjoyed the day. I said at the beginning of the series,
that i would finish last overall, it looks like my prediction is going to
come true (sob). Still can't predict those bloody lottery numbers though.
(sob a bloody gain).

Sorry i can't find my camera after Mondays match.
I'm hoping it is in Brians van. If not i can't afford another
camera just yet, be knackered for photos until i get one.
So please be in Brians van.

Well done jason taken the lead in the series over Andy.

This one is going down to the wire. With two matches to go.
Except for us poor buggers dangling at the end of the table of course.
Next match i shall try the old 3 foot hook length trick, so you boys
better watch out next couple of matches, because fatty is back.
Come on just imagine the X files music in the back ground as i say
i'am back.(scary ain't it).

Well Ladies, and Gentlemen (and you Dickie) he he, thanks for stopping
by, and reading this. If you like another laugh at my fishing experiences,
you just wait for my next fishing adventure, which incidently happened
one day after this match. 7 of us fished Elton farm, two of us weighed in
over a ton, and two of us did'nt bother weighing in. Erm wonder which
category i land in. So until tomorrows post its bye, bye for now.

All the best STEVE.
