I travelled with Geoff Francis today, his first time at
Hillview and a baptism of fire from Keith Hill. Keith has just spend £300 on a
new sign (pictured right) and was
watching everyone via his CCTV and because Geoff and I didn’t put our nets
straight out he pounced on us, I said it was too small and we didn’t see it, he
wasn’t amused as it’s 8 foot high! Nonetheless, we had a decent breakfast.
Huggy was in his new tackle shop dragging in customers
(pictured lower right).
Twenty two booked in so Keith put in the two Lakes and two Canals
numbers 2 and 3. Canal 3 was fished the day before and there were a number of
DNW’s, so didn’t want to draw here.
In to the Woolley hat and out came peg 79 – Canal 3! Wrong
Canal, wrong end, I was sandwiched between young Josh Clarke and Shaun Bruton
who was on the end peg and the only peg that was frozen. The upshot was Shaun
and I didn’t have a bite on anything we tried with Josh caught ten Rudd for
8oz. No more about today.
The match was won by Griff (pictured lower right with half his
catch) with 93lb from Heron peg 32. Half of Griff’s weight was made up with
Carp with the remainder F1’s. Griff caught at either 9 metres or 11 metres
using maggot over maggot, an excellent weight on the day.
Full Result:
- Griff 93-0-0 peg 32
- Shaun Gould 46-0-0 peg 59
- Lee Seward 45-08-0 peg 35
- Lee Payne 45-0-0 peg 70
- Kevin 44-04-0 peg 62
- Derek Young 40-0-0 peg 29
