2019 June 9th Hangover weekend Mystery Pairs match Loco.

With 8 bashers sleeping over at Lindholme we were joined by 4 more of our friends for the second days match on the Sunday and a mystery pairs on Loco Lake.

Breakfast for the 8 sleepovers was beautifully prepared and served by Indian who Jack had kindly left to "sleep in" adding more pressure to his frying pan. No worries it was all taken in his stride, top nosh from a top guy and just what was required to soak up any excess alcohol.

Bright sunshine replaced Saturday's rainfall however everyone's gear was still wet through, rain was forecast later in the afternoon but this did not deter some fishing in tee shirts and shorts and our own pin up guy Glen going topless to catch some "rays".

Loco was shared with other match anglers and todays office was peg 43 happy days (at least the beginning of the match). And w8 to my right and newlywed tackle tart to my left.

The match was also being used for the semi-finals of the challenge cup as well.

Pellet waggler, Bomb, 2+3 pole line and margin to my right although this was 3 foot deep...

Long story short I caught a couple on the waggler and lost more. I've then caught a couple on the bomb below my waggler line and lost even more. Hooked one on margins as they didn't show up till 3:45 and gone and lost that one as well. 4 fish in the net to be weighed in when my rod has been bent into fish too many times to remember, I was looking for a hole in the bottom of my keepnet aka smiler style... Donkey chokers the way to go but watch the tree roots to the left hand side of the bloody peg.

Pairs drawn at the match end keeps everything interesting and we even had some extra prize to award for this match. Bigger smile because the rain didn't come until 18:00 so we got away with only one wet day out of the two.

No league points on these results.

Thank you to everyone supporting the two day event, my personal view is the format works well and we cannot expect everyone in the club to fish both days due to family commitments, work etc. 12 out of 20 is a good turn out and can only grow into more members and guests. Well done everyone

This is the first time I've fished both days and even stayed over on the Saturday night. Excellent company and great fun, good food and the warm beer even went down well.

Special comments re our own Jack Crabtree who really entertained everyone with his one liners and general piss-takes. This is not mentioning his middle of the night wandering for those who shared his lodge Friday evening which resulted in a lot of tired eyes Saturday morning and Andy W8 having to have a tea time deep snooze after the Saturday match. dont be decieved by Jacks quiet demeanor, truely a dark horse.

Next match is at Portland lakes in two weeks time, places to still confirm and spare pegs available. This venue cafĂ© also does a half decent breakfast if I remember correctly but nothing to match Indians.
