Today the Jinx Squad return to the lake to fish their annual Evening match at the lake. They are also fishing on the Saturday too.
Before the match Malc had arranged a BBQ so everyone could have a natter before the match. The draw had been a rolling draw meaning you could draw from anytime after 4pm until the last person turned up. Most people were already at the lake and started drawing. People went and set up on their pegs with 3.5 hours before the match was due to start and then headed back for the BBQ.

Dave Collier was on 32
Malc Doyle on peg 8 with He-Man in the background

Tony Roberts seem quite chuffed to be on 9
Clive Pritchard on peg 31

Once the match started people seemed to all catch a fish pretty quickly but then people were struggling. After the lights went on the lake looked lovely but the fishing proved to be hard.
After the match word was A section had fished best with Malc on peg 8 had catching well along with Alex on peg 6. Nick Williams had also had a few. While in B section Al Loader was to the only person to really have put a weight together. In C section fresh was his first Ton weight Nick (Monkey) had been trying for another and came very close, Paul Roberts who had a terrible lasy match had managed to catch a few this time.

After the match and the weigh in was complete. People were up drinking and chatting till 5am.
A certain young Lady (Gem) had gone to bed having only fished for 2 hours of the match and then went to sleep behind her peg with the slugs and snails. So 7 out of 24 ain’t bad for 2 hours work is it 😀
If you want to fish a night match at the lake the next one is on the 20th August. The draw time is 6.30pm. Its quite an experience 🙂
Make sure to ring John Bennett to book in as spaces are limited. Number is in ‘Contact‘ above.
Thanks, Si and Eddie.
