The end at last (pheew)

Horray the winter league is over and i am so happy. Its been a bad one for me and i have not really enjoyed it this year, with today being no exception.

Pulled peg 17 , on that dreaded dam wall. ( Again).

Fished straight lead to start the first 45min, not a touch, tried corn, pellet and maggot but nothing. Came in on the pole line just off the ledge with pellet and corn nothing for an hour, then hooked a lump. It stayed low, bearly moving, then gradually moved to the left , where it snagged me!!!! I was hooked up and had to pull for the break.

Went onto the pellet feeder with a short 3 inch hooklength , and had 2 fish horray.

I weighed 2lb 2oz and was beaten to section win by one ounce.

John dale fished another great match to win and give him the league which he deserved. He fished a great league from start to finish and those blades helped him in the first few matches where we all sat it out for speci,s.

Well done John.
