for the day.but at first glance out of the window it didn't look that bad, 
so gear in the van and off to the draw.on arrival it was clear with the new faces anglers were chasing kamo points which is fair play as this time of year its hard to find 50 plus peg matches 
team change roger marlow was band from drawing our pegs so bob greenbury did who also walked the sections the night before so we new exactly where we were in the section
stone a crow
when bob gave me my peg the last time i saw a peg like this ENDPEG was on it .i never draw these sorts of pegs althou it hadn't been in before it looked that good
in fact that good i tok a coupe of pictures
in between two bridges
and on my own what could possibly go wrong 
the normal top kits came out caster,worm over and middle then started plumbing up
first plummet gone then another 
this could be a nightmare after that i plumbed up the other lines ok i thought to myself a positive approach has got to be the way so i gave them some at the start and after five minutes i was into roach small but one a Chuck 
with rollers set so i didn't have to brake down everything was going great i wondered how the rest of the section was fishing so with my hands free a quick call was made 
good news two or three anglers were catching but the rest were struggling pete marlow from the gold team was the biggest threat the other side of the bridge were they had caught on the last round needless to say trouble was around the corner as the knobheads started to wake up [1pm] one little sh#t throw a stone right where i was catching but did run off quick 
i thought that was it but no!! it was slowing down anyway and i'd put another golf ball on top of the stone and they came straight back going into the last hour a few walkers had passed one being choppy i could tell he was impressed as he didn't say too long 
or was it because i was catching one a Chuck then suddenly out of nowhere i had two pike the first i played just in case it was a big perch but when i saw it a jack about 2lb that was it it bit me off the rig ended up around the pole in a right birds nest roll on the end of the match and then nick moss walked down to me and said Pete's bagging and i mean bagging 
:-/fishing 4 metres to hand feeding caster shallow "your taking the p#ss" but sadly he wasn't Pete had Rudd balled up to the stage the water irrupted when he fed steve porter was the other side of pete with head in hand yet again [just nothing he could do] well the whistle went and i ended up with 6lb 15oz but pete had 13lb 14oz of mostly rudd and won the match i'd managed third with tom pringle catching some skimmers in THE basin [by the way tom was taking the place of rob wootton who's on a family holiday THE WALTONS ON TOUR ]
my 6lb15oz
and pete's 13lb 14oz of rudd
pete's killing area above the bridge sorry thats steve porters peg A BOAT AND A REED BED
well done steve 3rd from there is brilliant ::) ::) ::)
