Dave,
Can you give Rod T. my phone number and ask him to ring me if he wants a lift down to Monks next week. We only live a couple of miles apart and it would seem daft not to. I know of talked about it last year but I don't have his number. Got some practice in last weekend - was happily catching roach at Mill Barn in Great Wakering then wallop - first a 12 pounder and then a 14 pounder (carp not roach!). Both on light pole elastic and line - each took about 20 minutes to land. See you Saturday.
Cheers,
Graham

Monk Match Lake 2
Well by this time next week we'll be mulling over the results from the 1st match of the year ;).
I just hope that we aren't treated to a repeat of the weather that we experienced down here in Kent yesterday otherwise it could turn into a
match. 
What does everyone reckon the winning weight will be, and what will the total weight be (excluding any frogs
)?
NB: I hope everyone's remembered to get their New Rod License.

According to Metcheck its going to be 20degC with a 2mph wind.
Stop worrying Mugger you can leave the new waterproofs at home, Im organising the match NOT BillG.
OH BUGGER!!!! Just realised that Bill IS coming. .
Has anyone got any artic waterproofs I can borrow.
The weights will depend on the draw. if one of the top anglers draws 45,46,47,66 or 56 then it will take a ton to win, if not then 80 may be enough.
With 20 fishing I expect the total weight will be over 750lb

You're just trying to make TK and Simps jealous now aren't you Dave.

Well last year was the first time most had fished it and we had a top weight of 87lb and a total of 672lb for 17 anglers. My estimates for this year are comparable.
Mind you, as it will be the second club visit, we will have 20 instead of 17 and the weather looks like it could be a bit better than the gale force winds we had last time, I suspect I may have underestimated the total weight.
It could be up to 900lb.
SORRY TK and Simps

My guess is 600lb - mind you based on my estimating skills that would turn out to be rather more
Wonder how big the barbel are now - one things for sure, I'm looking forward to them seriously over punching their weight as ever - what a great fish

What's he talking about Dave, does he go fishing without putting a hook on? Strange folks up there in the midlands.
::)
I'm just taking 3 nets Dave, spamwham's bound to have one or two that he won't be using if we need a spare.

It will be quite interesting to compare the results from this and the Cashmores match as they're on the same day.

I wondered when that was gonna come up. I did expect Dave to mention it actually
I reckon there will be 500lb difference between your total match weight and Cashmores total match weight.

I think we have upset TK. He hasnt made any comments on this thread.
Is he too busy planning how to bag 15lb to win the Cashmores match.

Ooooppppsss..... 3 gudgean.
I would expect to catch at least quadruple that weight on my first chuck at Monk.
Have they forgotten to stock any fish in the match lakes they have up there?
