Number 4 in the series and the weather spelt a ''typical Soar day' with clear skies , hardly any rain recent and a strong down-stream wind …..yuk ! , but i still love it because it tests your resolve and gets you thinking plus it throws up unexpected large bonus fish like Tench , Carp and 5 lb Eels , eels ! Yes bloody great snake of 5 lb ! unheard of but great when it happens .
Joff, younger brother of Vince Callaghan , a regular front row Rugby forward for his local team
Stu , Manager of Bennets tackle , Mountsorrel , a shop thriving under the up surge in fishing attendance in the Leicestershire area with river / lake / canal / specimen / carp tackle anglers in abundance to his shop.
Also a very good match angler and captain of our team for the Winter league.
A very hard day was had by all and the top weight on the day was 7.3 kilos with a 2.2 kilo Eel ! and Tench by Pete Jayes.
I was on the scales today and was late getting back to the pub . This was due to my weighing in and photographing the section plus i had 2 feeder rods and 4 top 5's to put away.
I must apologise to two of the lads at the bar when i arrived as they passed a joke to me stating had i had an accident in the car , meaning i was late getting back to the pub to read out the results. I snapped a little at them as i shared a day of my usual bad back plus regretting hitting the 2-4m whip line which i was so used to doing in Sweden , sorry guys , it did not mean it !
See you people on NUMBER 5 match !
Well done to Brian Hull and Joff again for a days great organisation.
