Round 2
A 9·30 draw saw a healthy turnout of 35 anglers assembled for the 2nd round of the Charities Championship on Match Lake 2 at Monk Lakes on a cooler day than the 2 preceding ones.
Despite this everyone managed to get amongst the fish, predominantly Carp, Tench, Bream & Barbel ensuring some good mixed nets for most of the field, despite the temperature never rising much above 12°C and a spot of rain arriving in the afternoon.

__________________________
All in all a cracking day and nice to see Dirk and Bliss from Disabled Angler.Co.Uk in attendance for this match.
Things got off to a good start with a decent breakfast, but went downhill for me when I asked Dirk to draw for me. As a few of you will know when Vince and I are about it gets a bit competitive. Well Dirk did Vince proud drawing me peg 88, well away from Vince and by all accounts one of the worst pegs.
Vince and Dirk however drew side by side, with Bliss just behind them on the island.
A good start saw me getting amongst the resident Barbel, but after a couple of hours my bites started to dry up. A phone call to Vince revealed that he wasn’t flying either, although I thought that I detected a hint of confidence on his part.
Bliss appeared to be enjoying himself even though sport didn’t appear to be to fast and furious for him.

Towards the end I snared one of the smallest skimmers I’ve ever caught and had to net it (Fishery Rule: All Fish to be netted) much to Vince’s amusement, who saw it and remarked as much to Dirk.
Come the weigh-in however I had the last laugh as I had managed to beat Vince by 2ozs. However Dirk positively battered the 2 of us beating both our combined weights and grabbing a share of the section money.
Farewells said, Bliss, Dirk and my good self retired to a pub on our way home, where a barman was heard to wonder “where have all these moths appeared from????”
Yes Folks, Dirk had opened his wallet and got the drinks in!!!!!
