Lee Chapel Wednesday Stan Memorial League Match 4th July 2007 (All-In)
13 more members fished this match than the previous weeks. A Bright & breezy evening with the blustery wind coming from the South West. It did rain for short period midway through the match.
I drew Peg 3 with Olly directly opposite me on 29 and Kev Butler to my Right on Peg 2 on Ron Price to the Right of Olly on 28.
Needless to say that that the carp were nowhere to be seen at this end of the lake - as last week they were all up the middle /to far end. It was nip & tuck between Kev Keeling and Mick Byrne all evening - Kev was using size 10 and four maggots to get instant Carp bites - whereas us monkeys up the other end were down to size 18/20 with single maggot and still struggling for Bites of any description,
I was lucky to have a 1 1/2lb Perch an 2lb tench otherwise it would have been Ounces. Olly put in a late surge in last 1/2 hour got himself a shoal of small Roach, but I managed to squeeze him out by a couple of ounces to land 7th place and 1 point - the same as Olly. Mick Byrne won with~ 25lb , Kev 2nd just a few onces behind, and Paul Pratley a further few pound behind.
So the league is starting to get interesting - i don't keep the scores for these but it must be Mick in the Lead I would think with Kev or Paul Pratley not that far behind.
