Can I second that sentiment with additional thanks to Heiner, Mr V and KOD. Big Baz earns a special thanks for the organising of fund raising for the Fur & Feather, which
was a great success.

Nice one Mike
Curse match 15 2013 - A dram or two in it.........
A couple of ‘facts’ (1 still subject to ratification from chief results producer KOD) about this topic title and its reference to drams at the end of this tale...........
‘Peg the boatyard, it’ll be too coloured on the kennels with all this rain we’ve had’.
‘Don’t peg the boatyard, it’s gin down there’
The headache that confronts a club pegger outer ............as well as never knowing exactly how many pegs to put in, yow car do right from wrung and can never please 100% of people 100% of the time.
So TK and Heinzer hedged bets and tried to please 50% by dropping half the pegs for this last curse match of the season on the boats and half on the other side of the bridge. Well it would be a ‘useful’ experiment wouldn’t it – see which section would prove most productive in ‘these’ conditions.
Plus a 50% chance of a ‘short’ walk...........
I put in my thumb and pulled out a plum......... no I daint, it was peg 6, not too bad a walk and usually a ‘productive’ area on the boats – so not too bad.
Arriving at 6 I found that I’d got Big Col again for company to my left........
Choppymaster knew his peg inside out and fancied the next 5 hours
To my other side was Mike E complete with snazzy festive hat.
My peg for the day – was sure it would cough up a few
The off............and lines fed. Out with the punch, expecting an instant response. It’s always good for a few early fish on the Extension..............isn’t it
But nowt happend on either short or long punch line and 15 minutes in I was 10 fish down to Big Col who was on them little red things I can’t see these days
A look on the chop – and still nowt.
55 minutes into this match I was beginning to fear the dreaded dry un – nowt on punch or chop – Big Col was still snaring a few, but Choppymaster to his other side was also fairing as good as yours truly.
Then out of the blue – a one oz kinver has gratefully swung in – dry un over.
Bite no 2 took another 35 minutes to materialise, but a better stamper showed up this time
As time progressed, Tricast had a wander up to see how the others were fairing the otherside of the road bridge. By his return, I’d snared another couple of kinvers. Kept looking on the punch, but nowt, despite the odd fish periodically ‘topping’ over the longer line.
The wind was now picking up, making presentation more difficult........
so I dropped a bit more chop in and stretched the legs. Twas like a different world up on the ‘kennels’ – 10c warmer and like a mill pond in comparison.........and a few fish were showing up there – well more than down in our neck of the woods
Back to peg 6 another couple of small kinvers were wheedled out before the end – been difficult but enjoyed the match – but knew I’d got nowhere
The scales appeared and first up to weigh was Blues4eva on end peg one who set the benchmark all caught at 2 mtrs !!!
And the tale of those scales

14 THE MILKY BAR KID 4.14.0
15 BRAMBLES DNW
16 COTTI 2.0.0
17 YAMO 5.6.13
Well done to Yamo on winning the match
So onto fact no 1 – Yamo’s extra 13 drams over MrV cost the club a few sovs as he was sitting on a golden peg – giving the club treasurer a migraine as he walked away with a bonus £127
Fact no 2 – still to be ratified. Look closely between the weights recorded on peg 6 and peg 9. KOD had led the clubs championship from match 10.............but Yamo was reeling him in over the last few matches . KOD couldn’t snatch defeat from the jaws of victory could he?
Well that 1 dram difference was worth a point – as Yamo snatched (well by my reckoning) the club championship by a point, with KOD as runner up.
Ah well, congrats to Yamo, commiserations to KOD – there’s always next year

I really fancied the pegs the other side of the bridge on the boats, but oh, how wrong could I have been. I drew first peg to the right of the gate, towards the bridge, which I have fished a few times before without troubling the scalesmen too much.
I didn't realise how lucky we were with the gale force winds which were battering the lads on the boats.
I decided to fish light rigs (8oz and 12oz hooklengths), ignoring the possibility of a break or two if the Tincas showed, in the hope of having some decent squatt and caster fishing. I really enjoyed the match, and caught most of my fish on caster at 7 metres. May not sound unusual to most people, but when I say its the best caster weight I have had off this canal in probably 15 years, you will understand why 5lb odd of redfins was enjoyable.
A real boost to morale for the forthcoming
