Colemans Cottage Stepfield, 22nd Sep 2018

[Spamwham]

Ok folks a week to go before our next match so I thought I'd better get things going.
Next up is Stepfield - we hav'n't fished this one for a couple of years so it will be interesting to see how things have developed.
I can only find Stepfield results for early Aug - when 374lb won it with two 200lb+ back up weights.
I cant see us hitting those sort of levels, although I have to say Keith is in relentless form at the mo. Who knows? (Time for revenge Mick)
And of they're having it up in the water then Simon could be the one to watch.

So who's up for it?

Available:
Tony R
Keith
Mick
Clive
Simon
Kyle
Dave
Rod
Terry
Gino
John


Not available:
Chris
Kevin
Tony W
Jim

Count me in please Tony

[keith]

Count me in please Tony and yes to breakfast

[SiDev]

Yes please Tony and Kyle again if there is room !

[Clive]

Yes please Tony

[Dave C]

I assume it’s their nets as usual and no meat allowed. I will be confirming that and pegs later in the week.

As it’s F1s I think Simon will be the one to watch after his coaching session. Mind you I’m sure Keith picked up some good tips after his match against all those sponsored guys last week.

[SiDev]

Erm.....like the coaching was in F1s!....it all depends on the weather!....maybe Mr C will put that new pole to good use

[Tel]

Yes please Tony.

[kris]

can you put troy down plz

[naughtycockney]

Yes please Mr C and brekkies as well

[wat2tone]

Sorry guys can't make this one either

[SiDev]

Are we looking at a 5 hour match again as it was on Woods ?....two brekkies btw please

[Dave C]

The 5 hours was because of the high temperatures. I hope that as the temps are now much lower we can do 6 hours.

[SiDev]

Cool....another 5 pints of pellets needed then...although spoke to them today, keep it quiet but they are having hair-rigged carrots to a size 22

[Dave C]

The lying bugger. He told me it was to a size 18. I will have to go and retie all my rigs now.

[Dave C]

Best you cancel that extra 5 pint of pellets Simon. The guy in the shop says that they are now only allowing 5 hour matches so unless I can persuade Gerry to allow more ( unlikely) it seems we will to be stuck with 5 hours for the future as well.
His recommendation is to fish 10 til 3 as the lake tends to die off later on, unlike out and out carp where it improves the later you fish. We will decide times on Saturday.
Usual stuff , their nets and they will do weigh in

sorry troy can not make it now he has to work
