Keith - I blew it in the first hour - diddly squat, while you were in from the off. :thumsup Chris - time for some serious discipline for your drawing hand mate. Clive reckons repeatedly shutting it in the car boot lid does the trick for him (well some times) ;D Mugger - good to see you again mate -...

13 fished today - dull, mild and very breezy throughout with occasional 'mizzle'. It was a surprise to see that all the nearside bushes and vegetation from peg 30 to about peg 23 had been completely cleared. Strange to see them in glorious isolation. I understand from Trevor that this was done as pa...

Short walks. Just Mr C again this week.
Viv has drawn 27 for Dave. Gotta be happy with that

Truth is, any short walk is goin' to be a flier on Ash.

Still people do blow fliers............

Me and Jim please Dave.

At last our first match of the season - warm with sunny periods and a breeze (which was troublesome for a few of us). We fished every other peg from 1-29. 15 fished today - great to see everyone out on the bank again. Also our first match with social distancing which seemed to work out reasonably we...

Draw for short walks. Just Dave for this match. Pegs 1,3 & 5 in for short walks and Viv (my better half) has drawn 3 for Dave.

If your're not able to lift your own net for health reasons, then perhaps Josh or Kyle could do the honours for you - assuming they're ok with that?

Good idea Josh. We already have two sets of scales and mats, and now I've just bought us a 75L plastic flexibucket which looks as though it will do the job nicely. About the same size as our weigh bucket. Just need to drill some drainage holes in the bottom. Hopefully it'll work ok on Sat.

Dave - suggest you use this thread to confirm exactly how we want the weigh-in to operate.

Yes please Dave - me and Jim will be there.

Right, let me start the ball rolling on how we might organise ourselves to stay safe at our matches moving forward. I think this is key to getting most/all to feel confident about attending. :thumsup These are just my thoughts - so you can kick 'em around, improve on them or scrub. 1. Monies - perso...

Josh - when Dave spoke to Monks yesterday about reserving us pegs they were having none of it, so Dave was left with no option but to cancel next Saturday. That was the right call imho. Realistically we need to know where we stand a week in advance. Looks like we should be able to get things kicked ...

Thanks for trying Dave. I think you've made the right call. Sounds like demand at Monk Lakes is a bit crazy at the mo. Realistically they probably couldn't guarantee us a section of pegs even if they wanted to. Probably a bit of a free for all once you've queued and paid up. As you say maybe we can ...

That doesn't sound great Dave. Sounds like people are paying at the gate one by one, hence the queue?
Not sure I fancy a long unpredictable wait.

Me and Jim are ok to come along. Frankly its only worth while if we can have one half of Lake 1 or both sides of the spit, or if numbers are low just one bank. Ie they honour our booking and allow us to 'individually fish' in a group (obviously no weigh-in and pegs drawn in advance; fish 10-4 and if...

Right call Dave, but sad to see our season obliterated :rage Clive - here's hoping 'the other side' happens sooner than we fear :thumsup At least we have a social distancing emoticon :outahear My Preston box must have 10 years of sh*t on it. Nowadays its called 'patina'. So scrubbing it off is bound...

Tel - I know us old farts have to watch out, but you'll be climbing the walls by Thursday :rage Seriously tho I'm not sure its workable to ask 12 million old farts to stay at home for weeks on end. :thinking As I understand it, its close contact with infected people we have to avoid. For 95% of the ...

Been searching for my fishing mojo and to be honest can’t find it anywhere ! Si - you gotta find it!!!!!! Think of the moment that float dips, or the sharp pull on the rod tip :joy Or when your laccy stretches out unexpectedly....... Or when you finally get that lightly hooked lump into the net aft...

Keith - sounds like you and Josh are already up and running and rarin' to go. :joy As for me, I've still to got to sort my rigs and check laccys. :facepalm However I have not been completely idle on the fishing front. :naughty Bought a 2nd hand motorised wheelchair! No not for me. :surprisev Strippe...
