Many thanks to Robin for organizing the day

Gary's day

I am not quite sure how it happened but Jane agreed to fish this year's match - I think the lockdown and lack of netball games had left her with a competitive itch to scratch.

In typical British summer style we had fantastic weather until the last 30 mins or so when it poured down - followed by more sun. We got off to an ideal start pulling out 1st choice of peg on this rover match so it as peg 2 for us. The plan was simple - maggots and a bit of groundbait for silvers on 2+2 (as that was all I had from an old pole) for Jane and longer pole for me for better fish. Well you know what they say about plans. It started as expected with Jane swinging in some nice roach and rudd from the off whilst I struggled for a bite until they got their heads down. It then changed and I ended the day with a neckache from constantly turning round to see Jane into another F1. It was a very busy 4 hours and flew past. And yes Jane did pip me to the win! There were plenty of bites to be had at Hall Farm and it was a busy day for all - looking forward to next year.
