Ok now that MATT is blaming Trevor for his incompetance, whos drawn where and should you have done better. An excuse thread if you like.
Rnd 1 - HLF - Pear Tree P2, felt I couldn't compete with Nick on P4, hoped for 2nd in section got it.
Rnd 2 - Monks1 - P42, concerned that Mr.Kell was in my section on P40 and that Aigy had P43 with P44 not in. It fished harder than I thought but satisfied with 2nd.
Rnd 3 - Monks2 - P65, up against end peg 66 with Woodie on it, kneck and kneck until the last hour when Col pulled away, disappointed with 2nd after 5 hours but would have taken it at the start.
Rnd 4 missed
Rnd 5 - HLF - Bramley P8, not the end of island draw I wanted, Rusty was on B9 and told me how he had caught 150lbs the Monday before and with Mr.Atlas on P6 who had won his section in Rnd 1 from P20 I had to fish well. I didn't, beaten both sides by better anglers on the day who were single minded and had it sorted 3rd
Rnd 6 - HLF - Nicks..... a known flyer I hope P8,P9,P32 will do.
Round 1 Peartree, average peg8? The better end of the lake but not as good as the gap pegs at this time of year. 2nd on lake, 5 points, very happy with performance.
Round 2 Monk 1, crap peg 11? 2nd in section, 4 points. Wrong end of the wrong bank, a no hope peg but 2nd in section and happy with performance. Beaten by Rusty I think who did well further down the bank.
Round 3 missed but knew I was leaving myself with little chance.
Round 4 Nicks, crap peg 6, 4 points, another no hope peg at this time of year and with 8 & 9 in my section with a top class angler on 8 I had no chance. Couldn’t have caught any more from this peg.
Round 5 Peartree, crap peg 2 with good anglers on the better gap pegs again. Should have come second in section but Ian Carley did a fine job and did me by just over 1lb. Worked hard to put fish in the net and I doubt many anglers could have done much better.
So 5 matches, 1 decent peg and have worked hard to take as many points as each peg was worth!
Mark, Mr Atlas? Charles Atlas, your showing your age! surley you can do better? I like Jonathan or Jonny it suits me
Round-1. Bramley 20, I thought it was the better of the 2 pegs left in the hat when I drew (you had the other Hathers). I was happy to win my section as I wanted a good start, but I fathed around changing tactiks and should have beaten Ian Carley to win the lake
Round-2 Monks lake 1 peg 13, everyone told me it was shite. I certainly made a shite job of fishing my peg. I feel I could have taken 4 points away instead of 3 but all credit to Matt and Rusty as they put me to shame from either side. I would say I have no one to blame other than my BAD ANGLING.
Round-3 Monks lake 2 peg 70, everyone told me it was shite . I fished a better match and was well up with the pace for the first half of the contest. I then wound myself up with the antics of the angler on the end peg to my left whom I thought was fishing in a manner that was not in the spirit of the competition.This angler won the section. I ended up with 3 points and that was all I was worth on the day.
I honestly thought (prayed) I would be able to drop one of my 3 point rounds. WRONG! as I missed round 4 with car troubles :
Round-5 Bramley peg 6, I did not fancy this draw at all.I thought I had at least the two end pegs to beat (one of these being my old friend from Monk lakes 2 I thought bollocks put your head down and show them what you are made of .I won my section winning the match to boot was an added bonus .
Round-6, I will be trying to prove a point either way! so I desire an absolute flyer but in the same section as Paul K, Ian C, Nick G, and Collin W
