Lee Chapel Wednesday League Match - 23rd July 2008 - LCL
I finally found the time to spend to fish one of the Summer Wednesday League Matches.
The intent was to have 3 hours of Pleasure Fishing for Silver Fish with good company ( 7 of us in all) and all the banter that goes in rare glorious summer evening weather.
Of course not fishing the series so far I naturally drew tno#1 in the walk off draw.
I immediately went for peg 25 but thought I’d sit the other side of the tree on peg 24 out of direct Sun. Mick (Silver King) Wagg joined me on peg 25, Ted on peg 27, John on Peg 4, Big Mick Byrne on peg 12, Matt Keeling on Peg 19 (I think) and Martin Johnson on Peg 22.
I set up at 3, 6 & 9m – With size 18 – Size 6 elastic on my Middy Hot Spot match Top Two kit. Bait –Single Red maggot (left over from the previous Sunday’s match)
Started off close in but as expected after an hour had to go out longer as they deserted me as the Carp came crashing though the Swim– The Silver King was having the same problem fishing the same Tactics but was getting a bigger Stamp of Fish – The Bream were ‘no shows’ though.
As we progressed into the last ½ hour Mick had bubbles in his swim and got into the resultant Tench. Then I had the same – Bubbles but could they Bream or are they Carp moving in on what must a big bed of maggots by now?
The Silvers had gone by now so I thought I’d Fish for what was there - I was getting Liners and I shout come on Mr Bream On you get – No sooner said and the Float zooms off but alas the fight tells me its not a bream but turns out to a Perfect true Crucian in the net after giving the Elastic a Good tug.
The bubbles are still there so I go in again No Lines bites so come up in the water – nothing – back on the bottom Oops the Elastic is on the pull again – Heavy pull no real fight is it Bream – after 30 seconds the fight gets more aggressive – Yep a Carp. – Had a good fight on my Light gear – A beautiful Common of around 6lb.
Time to pack up – what a great evening capped by the two Carp!!
No need to ask who Won – the Silver King(12lb) – Matt Keeling (~10lb) I think – hey I finished 3rd with 6lb 12 oz beating Big Mick by 4ozs.
