Friday night is arrivals night for most and after a few drinks in the hotel we perambulated to another drinking hostelry for some more 'falling-down ' juice at the local ''BISHOPS ARMS''. We managed to pass the Velvet lounge which was well rammed with youthful people and very loud music ......err No thanks !
Jocke Palmer lead man of http://www.itackle.se/catalog/ organises this event and what a good job he makes of the event helped by members of the VMBK club .Whilst there i took delivery of a new keepnet from Middy (i did'nt fill it up very much :-( http://www.middytackle.com/home.php

At the meeting place next to A and B section the anglers were being served by Lasse and Arne with their bait requirements
Good selection of maggots and pinkies plus nice jokers and bloodworm
The view from A section to the other bank with all its activity in the town
Looking down to B section
Looking over the water to yet more construction works
The eager anticipation of the peg draw gathered the men together
MT just washing his hands - was waiting for him to take a bath :-)
Next to the meeting car park was a small construction that would make a nice carp commercial pool - wishful thinking

Jocke began with an introduction of the sections and the rules
Commander Palmer
D SECTION PEGS 1 AND 2
D SECTION PEGS 3 AND 4 ( Me and Charles)
Lasse on Peg 5
Stefan and Vince on Pegs 6 and 7 respectively
Vince had some very nice Rive floats on show - they were of a beautiful construction.
Vince pondering with expectancy
My set up for the day was 3 top 5's using 1.5 -2.5 Dino Walter's and a 3gr Dino SUPER carp R.
I used Triana 0.12 main line to Colmic Mimetix 0.08 bottoms to Kamasan B512'S 18-16's
My Menu board consisted of Maggots and Pinkies with a few worms
Groundbait was VDE SUPERCUP with BLACK TURBO and Trapper leam.
on the sunday i used Top Mix Bream Black fine and Trapper leam
Charles was FASTly mixing his balls
Match finished and the weights were low after a frustrating match where the fish would not feed and the last 4 pegs produced the better weights.
Stef-Miester had a good weight but will he beat Vince on end peg who caught just as good ?
A look of success with 3.4 kilos ?
Vince had to take 2nd place with 3.060
Stefan thought when he stepped in some sh*t it would be a sh*t day - it prooved to be a lucky omen as the talismanic Holst plundered a section win on the D.
Saturday night in the hotel and the sorrows are drowned with a few drinks
All smiles - Twins seperated at birth !
Anssi and his fishing coach
Upstairs we had a private room and a free drink - shame about the coffee !
A few speeches were made
Kristian and Kent conferring over the bad day's fishing
Jimmy and Charles
Bob Nudd's brother showing the art of taking a boilie snuz
Here we go
Its in !
Smile !
Second day and i drew B7 and Stefan drew B8- Whats this on B8 ? - its another omen for the Holst - its really awful dog sh*t (resembling cow sh*t.)
Arne on A1
MT on 2
Its prebait time and everyone was cupping in , noise to the minimum on the surface everyone expected it to be tough so it seemed the best tactic.
Vince in the pot
The match :
Stefan to my right was looking and feeling a little worse for wear due to an excess of the beer the previous night. He seemed very laboured in getting his tackle ready but eventually after an energy drink and a chocolate bar he was ready for action.
The match started very ,very slowly and i caught a perch then he had 2 then i had one and then he had another . Then all went quiet for 30 minutes and i noticed Stefan's head nodding forward a few times and his pole dropping a few times in the water. Un deterred he soldiered on obviously feeling and suffering from the falling-down juice last night. Any way Stefan started to concentrate a little harder when .......strike ! ....oi oi oi ....a bream , played on light elastic for 2 minutes eventually came in to Stef's net , a 1.2 kilo bream with 7 small fish made a total of 1.5 kilos to my 320 grams of 6 perch . .......the script has been wrote:
Saturday stepped in dog sh*t and won section
Sunday almost stepped in dog sh*t and won the section by falling asleep on his box and snaring a bream.It can only be you !
Stefan your a legend and a great bloke - seeya next season !
Huge thanks to Jocke Palmer for excellent managing of the weekends events with the VMBK helping out.
