Larry Teepot Invitational. 26th-27th June 2010

Larry Teepots crew descended on the lake for their yearly mini festival. Expectations were high as the lake had produced some good weights the night before on the first night match of the year. There is another night match on Friday 9th of July if anyone reading is interested by the way. Call John to book in please.

Saturday morning people were woke to the sound of John mowing the grass ready for the campers to pitch their tents.

The weather for the day was lovely and sunny.

Now if you have been to the lake and seen how neat the grass if mowed and you wondered how he gets under the trees here is a short demonstration…. 😀

Soon the car park filled up with people that were going to be fishing. With the grass mowed stunt style some people started putting up there tents next to the people that had camped over on the Friday night.

The format for the 2 days was 12pm draw on the Saturday fishing 2pm- 7pm and 11am draw fishing 1pm – 6pm on the Sunday. Saturday night John and Pauline were also putting on a BBQ for people that wanted it.

With pegs 32 and 9 framing on the night match both with 200lb weights it was clear to see where people wanted to draw. Onto the draw. Larry was unable to attend the weekend due to personal reasons so Jay had kindly stepped in and did all the arranging and organising. Top job mate 🙂

With the draw out the way everyone set off for their pegs and had plenty of time to set up and get prepared. For his efforts organising Jay was rewarded with peg 9 and was quite chuffed. 😀

A few pics now from before the Saturday match.

Round the lake there were plenty of fish being caught. But Andy on peg 6 was putting together a stunning weight. Favoured pegs 9 and 32 were also producing plenty of fish. Jay on peg 9 was fishing 6 meters in front of him and to the bush on his right while Justin on peg 32 was catching off and behind the bush to his left. A section was the only section to produce all 100lb plus weights on day 1.

With the match over it was time for the weigh in and that told the story for the day. Andy on peg 6 had won day one closely followed by Jay on peg 9. Third on the day was Justin on peg 32.

With the sun setting over the lake the BBQ was fired up ready for after the weigh in.

The BBQ went on till past 3am 😯 Most people left the lake to go and stay in the travel lodge whilsy other retired to their tents to get some kip ready for Sunday.

Day Two.

Day two started of nice and early with people getting to the lake ready for the earlier draw. The weather today was even hotter than Saturday so most people wanted to draw in the shade. With the draw done promptly everyone set off to their pegs and set up. Today also England were playing Germany in the world cup and John had set up a small TV so he could watch the game and keep everyone updated with the score.

With the sound of the bell the match was under way and soon became clear that Andy was going to have another good day, this time fishing on peg 8. Andy was fishing 16 meters straight across to the far bank to pick up fish regularly. Fishcake on peg 32 was struggling and also Simon on peg 9 was struggling. It seems the fish had moved round into the little lake.

Elsewhere people where catching steadily but the lake was not fishing as good as on the Saturday for some people.

After the match it was clear who had won the day. Andy for the second day running had fished a superb match on peg 8 and had been rewarded for fishing long all day with a fine win.

Budgie who had been on peg 2 today and who was also wanted to do his first Rolfslake ton managed just that today. Well done mate, on to your double next 😀
