Phil's day

Hi all, the Weds club had there interclub match with Abbey Cross on Taylor's Lake - it's a pleasant setting and the pegs are comfortable. I drew peg 36, been on there pleasure fishing a few times now so I was familiar with the layout. I made up one pole line and a feeder but very restricted as to where to cast as it's pads everywhere so stuck mainly to pole. I fed out to the start of the pads with red maggots and micro pellets and within the hour or so it produced a carp of 3 lbs. I carried on with the pole with the odd cast on the feeder but, as I suspected, it was very snaggy. I never got another bite for the rest of the day but I got my points - all important on team events. The weather was very windy and in the afternoon it chucked it down so no surprise there.

Results are 1st Alan Sims with 23lbs 15oz, 2nd Barry Cornel with 21lbs 1oz, 3rd Kenny Farrell with 18lbs 5oz and 4th Terry Moranda with 16lbs 12oz. Bishop's Stortford won with 53 points to Abbey Cross 2nd 52 points a very close match.

In closing, today's pic is Terry Tucker who's cremation was the day before - he was a long standing member of our team and will be sadly missed RIP Tuck.
