Phil's day

Good morning to all, the Weds club fished its monthly match against Abbey Cross on Hall Farm big lake. There was a lower turnout then usual due to holidays etc with the weather a bit on the chilly side but dry - it was the stiff breeze that made it so.

I drew peg 2, not unhappy with that, and set up a feeder and two margin lines for the pole. I fed reds and pellet to my right and corn and pellets to my left and that was the high point of my day. The feeder produced nothing and the right hand margin pretty much the same. To my left margin all I could get was some very good rudd and this continued until 3.15 when I got a carp. At least it was something to end my day and I weighed in 9lbs 2oz and a thanks for coming.

1st Martin Adams with 39lbs 9oz, 2nd Rob Calderón with 37lbs 14oz, 3rd John Carter with 34lbs 2oz and 4th Steve Foster with 34lbs 0oz. Well done to all. Abbey Cross won the match with 41 points to Bishop's Stortford's 37 points - close but no cigar. Pic is Martin Adams (Abbey Cross's Captain) paying out the winners.
