5 Ways Lakes. "5 ways" only goes half way to the number of different methods and baits that were used by everyone to find the fish or should I say try and find the fish. It was a really nice day but where were the fish?
It was bloody hard work and I thought that I was in with a chance when I was streets ahead with my massive 7lb+ netfull until the scales reached "Lucky" Mark and "Dodgy" Wayne who must have conspired to bring extra fish with them to boost their nets to 15lb+ and 16lb+ respectively.
It was very unfortunate that the fishing wasn't as good as the breakfast but the owners are still relatively new and I guess we can keep an eye on the place and see if it develops.
Billy looked very pleased to meet Kevin but I don't think the feeling was mutual as he notched up the first DNW of the year for the club. Sorry Kevin but it was always going to happen to someone.
Interpharma at Heronbrook next for the 2 5-man teams followed a week later by the Arena Invitation at Wiggs. Will the local pro (Mix) make good his knowledge and lead his team to victory or will the James gang ride off with the trophy for a second year. We'll tell you here later.
P.S. The rivers are open again!

May 30 - carp, carp, carp, carp, carp, carp, carp ...ide!
I'm not supposed to be writing this because we have a gentlemens agreement that you don't report on missions that you you win. However as I managed to weigh in more than double the other authors weight there may be some relunctance to recognise the achievement.
We had some spare pegs so we were joined by a few folks from East Leake AC and a good day was had by most as the carp were very accommodating and not too fussy on what they ate. I went out to the island from the off and mugged a couple early on but dropped back to the near margin within the first hour as I could clearly see small carp (they're all small!) over my pellet feed.
A couple out of the margin then on to the line down the track and an immediate take on paste. With more commotion in the margin I dropped back there and never left for the rest of the session dragging 'em out one after another on paste to amass a final weight of 53lb 15oz.
Jim, one of the founder members of the Daiwa Duffers who had some misfortune reported earlier in the blogg, was on the next peg and he was also going at it hammer and tongs but failed to find the extra 2lb 13oz required to beat me.
Ray came out top amongst the East Leake guys with 45lb and I'm not supposed to mention that Sue weighed in more than Ian. Ian said I shouldn't mention it because Sue is his better half.
5 Ways next ...hope I shouldn't be writing again!
