Lee Chapel Wednesday Stan Memorial League Match 20th August 2008 (Silver Fish)
7 Members fished this Evening Silver Fish Match – the penultimate & my last for this year.
I drew #1 walk off draw so went for my normal peg 25, I was Joined in Peg 24 by Mick (Silver King) Wagg – Big Mick Byrne and Ted to my left with Martin Johnson and Matt Keeling further down the meadow bank Pegs 20 ish and Garry (No mates) Somerfield on the road bank (peg 9 Carp Alley) all on his own.
I fished close in to start using single red maggot Size 18 on 2lb line to Match Kit of Middy Hotspot Pole. Had a few smallish roach to start with but had to keeping inching further out to keep the bites and fish coming ended up at 7 metres. Which whilst not being prolific was steady.

Gary had a nice bream midway through the match and got stick into a carp which hung for 5 minutes or more , then got into something else which pulled his elastic – it turned out to be a Nice Big Perch of around 2 ½ to 3lb.
The Rain came down at 8pm and it was somebody had removed the lake of fish all of us experienced a drying up of the bites. With darkness descending fats we packed up at 8.30 pm. Not surprise to see Gary winning with Matt Second and me 3rd. ( 5 1/2 lb of small Roach). I struggled to find my Pole caps whilst packing away which delayed me getting the gear to the car – Thanks to Matt & Kev for carting my gear to the car and out of the rain.
