Hi John
please put steve palmer and myself down for the spring series see you sunday Ernie
By the way our winter team = MPM positives
Should be called team drynet going by previous years…;-)
Can you confirm if you want to fish by replying here or ringing John please.
Cheers.
I’m planning on running an individual league again this year. Drop your worst score, based on section points, same format as last year for anyone who’s interested
I might have a go at that, how much is it Andy.
£50 for you Si…..
If you draw like you did last year you’ll win it again too lol
lol is that the best you can do? 😉
Everyone confirmed now. 2 weeks to go.
think it was £10 last year pay top 3, or 4 depending on how many fish
For those of you not on Facebook there was a 30,000 comment debate on the pegging of the lake last night for the Spring League and think the final options put forward were as follows:
1. Do the same as last year
2. Split lake down the middle A Section, 4/6/7/8/9/10/13/14/16/18/20 B Section, 23/25/27/29/31/32/34/36/38/2 which was considered to be slightly unfair as there’s no way the little lake will compete against the stronger pegs in the big lake this time of year
3. Steve Waters suggestion : peg out down: A Section, 7/8/9/10/13/14/15/16/17/18/20 B Section 23/24/25/26/27/28/29/30/31/32/34
The aim of the debate was to make the fishing as fair and posible and Steves suggestion was the most popular (i think, too much to read……) so can I put forward option 3 of the above forward to John Bennet for approval before my inbox explodes!
Cheers
Mark
YES I WAS MONITERING WHAT WAS GOING ON, I AM UNDER THE WEATHER AT THE MOMENT, BUT OPTION 3 SEEMS TO BE THE MOST SENSIBLE AND THATS THE OPTION WE WILL RUN WITH. ALL RESULTS WILL COUNT TOWARDS THE FINAL RESULT.IT WILL NOT BE POLE ONLY BECAUSE OF ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS CAN PLAY A MASSIVE PART ON PRESENTATION WITH THE POLE.
sounds fair, get well soon Jon
I think 34 should be swapped for 21 As 34 on his own in the little lake will be crazy.
I think 19 should be used instead of 20 as peg 20 is dead in the middle rather than on the side with the the rest of the section.
Just my thoughts.
peg 1 is reserved for you yam-yam dont worry
im just worried that if 9,10,13,32,31,30,29 all chuck a bomb out it will be like a spiders web
someone hooks a carp, you all hook a carp lol
you’ll get a peg king of peg 1 yam yam if you get a bite!
Are you pair high or something ??
Why are you on about peg 1…
its called a joke, I guess they dont have those in yam-yam land 😛
Oh dear, looks like I’ll be as popular as a fart in a space suit if it all goes pear-shaped.
to be fair ill share the blame as that was virtually the pegging I suggested too (unless it goes wrong and then its ALL your idea)
the individual league
– based on section points
– drop worst result
– if someone takes your place on the day, their points DO NOT count as yours
– £10 entry
– based on 18 entrants 1st £80, 2nd £60, 3rd £40
– last place gets thrown in the lake
severe weather warnings……. I must be getting ready to go fishing again! last time it was floods!
I know typical. Thats one of the reasons I never fished the winter league to try and avoid the worst weather for a change. Looks like the spring is going to be worse than the winter lol
We had one frozen round last time and only half the anglers turned up. Might be why this year you cant drop a result. Glad i’m skiing next week.
Over night temps in Courchevel minus 23 at the bottom of the slopes!
Stone dead!
Bet it wont be far off the same at Rolfs knowing my luck 🙁
Can u put my dad on too thanks
I have put him on the list but its been pegged out now. So John will have to either add another 2 pegs or say he cant fish. Up to him matey
More guys signing up even tho it’s going to be frozen!
Sory Si it’s only for the jinx I put it in the wrong place
lol Si, Jan 20th isnt exactly Spring though is it 😛
Ice breaker at the ready……all in
I preferred you previous comment Steve, “popular as a fart in a space suit”
Breaking ice sucks
you’ve ever done it once with thin ice
15MPH bang east wind on sunday, sleet, snow and rain,
overnight -3 frost
wil 3 bags of 8mms do?
Paul Jay will have some spare if you run out Andy
15mph he’ll be spread feeding 6 pegs! lol
btw what’s times the draw?
dunno but ill get there a bit early for a change and sort individual thingy on first match
I assume draw 9 fish 10-3?
or draw 9, ice break till 9.55, fish 10.15-10.45 and go to Havester
you’ll never get there early, not in a million years!
Draw times will be 9 am first match, or as soon as every body is there, we will be fishing 10-30 to 3-30. (i may change the start time depending on lake conditions ie ice breaking, and if nessary we will fish 4.5 hrs instead of 5hrs)
I assume it was supposed to be 10.30?
Jon/eddie/whoever
Is this sundays match definitely ON?
we got 15cm snow foreast tonight and tomorrow near sunny bracknell
it better be one
lets just go to the pub instead, come out when its not minus 6 at the lake.
Saturday/Sunday around here is 0 degree’s all weekend. Think the only snow we’ll get is Friday, roads will be clear by Sunday I’d imagine.
you’re dreaming!
A few days ago you mentioned you were off skiing next week, where that then? Chiltern Hills.
frog land
you got a pulla fitted this year Steve? looking forward to seeing another 3 miles of number 1 elastic or whatever it was you were using last year!
Yep, pullers all knocked up mate. Single Preston 3 last time mate, won’t be using that this year single/double 5 slip depending on where I draw
A flier lol!! 😛
Peg 8 is waiting for you
That’s only if I get in the drawbag before you and Newbold lol
ha, at least ‘brave statement’ it should be fairly even this year
Nothing worse than being stuck on 36, at least all the pegs in the bag contain fish lol
Not that I ever drew 36 of course 😛
on a serious note it is going to snow into saturday but by sunday morn roads should be clear. I was more thinking of people that live in the sticks. The 1 match it snowed last year only half the field turned up, if it happened this year, as every match counts, the league would be shot from the start
If half the field turn up I’ll be off home m8
hopefully it will be ok and get a few silvers if nothing
We’re talking cheque books in my eyes
John says its still on.
Any snow should have cleared by Sunday according to the forecast.
Just ordered 2 pints of squatt, cant wait 😀
ive got a load of joker 🙂
Simon – any idea how badly its frozen?
Hardly any Ice on it. John had the aerators running which cleared most of it. He is going down the lake today so will ring him later and put an update on here.
I currently have a lot of snow here. If it carries on the way it is I will not be able to come. Its sticking to the roads big time… Plenty of empty gritters going by last night but they never put any salt down.
I have snow forecast for Saturday and Sunday too. Very bad here 🙁
not seen a gritter here,
you definitely have it worse where you are you, your right in the thick of it
Just spoke to a friend who lives next to m40 just past high wycombe and she said its settling on the m40 already and her side lane is ko’d
stay at home si, we’ll take peg 8 out lol
haagen daz i’d say
Cheers Andy, I was looking forward to peg 8 too 🙁 The ways things have been you would be on peg 7 too, so you can’t grumble at that lol
youll be ok by sunday I reckon, the M4 will be cleared (hopefully)
dunno about peg 7, no silvers as a banker
Is rolfs still open tomorrow for pleasuring? might go have a dabble
As far as I know, John is down there but don’t know what time he is going down.
I come down on the M6 toll, M42 then M40 and the m6 and m42 are crap at the best of times.
motorways ‘should’ be ok its the crappy back roads that could cripple you.
we’re gonna get there about 10-11ish, im sure ifhe said its open for pleasure he’ll be there by then
roads will be fine yamyam I reckon mate, B&J at the ready might have a practice myself
the more the better, smash it to bits! get the boat out John!
come for a pint in’t harvester afterwards
me and drawbag will be going
who’s this drawbag character?
Most people call me dup
sounds like a plan
That’s if I get there. It’s carnage in Bracknell, snowed and freezing up already. And still bucketing down
Yam yams got no chance at this rate
Your right, Its just getting worse 🙁
I cleared the path and 5 minutes later its totally covered again.
Roads are being closed and the buses have been cancelled round here. All the schools have been shut. Its crazy lol
we call that zero points mate!! lol
You hopefully!!!
