Simple Match Fishing Forum

Weighed seperately it went 'cock on' 2lb on the beam scales Olly - although I think I could have squeezed another dram or two out of it if I'd have 'pushed' for them

is best to push the fish out towards the camera

Ta for that tip Olly - I'll remember that - and see if I can make a 4oz roach this saturday look like one of MarkV's 2lbers

Right - after much shuffling and two gallons of Expresso down the neck it’s time to try and put this one to bed……….


Now, anyone reading between the lines should have clocked that this little tale had got more clues than an Agatha Christie ‘who dun it’ as to what actually unfolded  - along with the occasional red herring (bet the guys who fished Sat wished they had had a red herring) ………


Starting off with The title - one fish makes all the diff



hardly set the world alight in that first hour…………


those expected regular bites on the punch were somewhat difficult to come by to say the least


But sad to say, the boat did little to liven things up


what was worse, those silvers were not coming as quickly as I would have liked


Weighed separately


And more than one reference to ‘praying’  mantis


Was it all down to Joffies ‘full moon’ theory with us being on a clearish cut    - or had that solar activity  in the days leading upt  o this one killed things off? Or the reality being that the roach move off that section with the cold winds and return back end of March as suggested by Blues4eva.......


Cuss sad to say - the truth of the matter is the rest of the field D N W 

But I hear you ask  - ‘What about The Hunter with his lackie stretcher and the big black beastie that he netted?’

Well so he did…………….but as Big Col T found so amusing (and he threatened me if I daint include it in this little tale  Hunter - so blame him)  - it turned out that the big black beastie was actually a bin liner………   

 
So that’s that - a right grueller  to finish on. But what the heck - I’ve enjoyed some great company  , made some new mates     and what's more we’ve had loads of laughs at times along the way. Cheers guys - really appreciated 

Brilliant TK, classic way to end a series of Gruellers.

Can hardly wait for the tales from the Cashmores  matches.
