scraped third on my local….
my edge swim came alive in the last 10 mins, another 5 mins and i woulda won it! :rolleyes:

2nd and very unexpected, I thought id struggled but obviously others struggled more. Match winning weight 11lb I had 7lb, Ive had better days fishing but on reflection ive had much worse !

My platform slipped on the Bure at St Benetts, it was either into the river or twist round and try and head for the rocks. I managed to get half onto the rocks and half in the river. Severely bruised my shoulder, so much so that I can’t raise my upper arm hardly at all so was unable to cast properly. Fished for an hour went walkabout then came back and packed up up early.

Arm still hurts and has now developed pins and needles in my fingers. If it doesn’t get better a trip to the quack’s might be required. 16 and a half stone landing on a shoulder might have done some proper damage I feel.

no fishing 😡
ran coventry half marathon today
was sweating like a rapist

Fished the first round of the Oxford wl on the Thames at Clifton/Dorchester and Benson, and i managed to win it with 13-14-0 of Perch on the feeder. Nice start to the winterleague, team won as well. Winter league!! there was people swimming all over the river and we got burnt to a crisp.

Sorry to hear of your accident Richard, hope you recover soon!

Fished county champs on sat, Gearys peg 7, bloody hard work for 26lb!!

Hi Tim, at least you got to fish. Did you see Aaron up there. Suffolk only had 6 for the qualifier at Barford it seems they may change things a bit next year.

Didn’t see him at the draw, he did fish though. Didn’t see him at the result either! You fishing the water park on saturday?

I fished the Broads championship and drew a nice peg on the river Thurne below Potter Heigham, I had a bite a chuck (as did most anglers in my section) small fish on the pole or feeder were present in their thousands, I went for the win and put over a kilo of worm and 3 pints of casters and a tin of corn through a medium sized Nisa feeder to try and get the bigger Bream interested but they did not play ball, I was catching well, just small hand sized Skimmers and small Roach but adding to my weight all the time…………………… when a mini tidal wave surged down the river flooding everyone and everything for miles! I put it down to a small earthquake at the time, but it now transpires it was Waveney One and his faulty platform!.
I ended up winning my section and placing 6th overall out of over 80 anglers fishing, I had a lovely days fishing and won 2 prizes on the raffle! ………… I am not complaining, but I cannot help wondering what might have been if it were not for that fat sod from Needham Market in Suffolk taking a bloody dip. 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

Here’s a link to the results http://www.ndaa.org.uk/page55.html I am the good looking dude on the far right of the photo, I have my hand up Brian Weavers jumper and am saying “A Gottle of Gear” whilst Brian pretends to be Lord Charles my ventriloquists dummy, we had a right laugh, Lee got a little too excited by the looks of his pants,………he don’t get out much apparently. 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

Mine was brilliant, I managed to get the whole staircase and hall decorated. Thats it now all finished, she better not try keep me at home another weekend. 😮

I also hurt my ribs Bob, not helped by your tidal wave story!

Not fishing SWP Saturday Tim, doing a silvers match at Weybread Pits.
