23rd May Köping - Jamies Match

Another Jamie match saw 16 hardy anglers looking for a days fishing and hope the expected bad weather would not upset the proceedings however later in the match the cruel windy wet weather came to spoil the party in the last 2 hours - WHEN IS THE SUMMER STARTING ???

I travelled on the Saturday to stop at Jamies abode and with Russ there we certainly got some business and planning sorted as well as drinking vast amounts of wine , not me , just drank Tea . Morning came quickly and the Kitchen was alive of the smell of bacon and egg cobs , not me , i just had my special juice . Of to the venue to meet up with the hardy souls as Jamie pegged the match length to the best of his ability.

Well ! what a day , after the initial ground bait bombardment (within the period of the match) the majority sat there and ............nothing for at least 30 minutes , then i took a small Bjorkna on feeder . As the first hour passed only the end pegs appeared to be enjoying some sport . Wished i had not balled it in at this point and just potted in choppy and dead maggot . Anyway i picked up about 6 fish and poor Mats to my left had nothing until half way thro the match ! . The fish appeared to be in pockets or nothing at all !

  The rain came in the last 2 hours to compound a bad fishing day and a few anglers had better luck but most did not . 

Marcus Enstrom with his super skill managed to find some better specimens and took 2nd in the match with 5325 

Carina with 150gr

Patrik with a decent net 2250

Not easy weighing in and recording and photographing so i apology for not taking so many photos .

Congratulations to Russ to win with 6625 , Marcus 2nd with 5325 and Janne 3rd with 3550 .

My day just got worse as after the weigh in i noticed i has left a skimmer in the net , my largest fish . Later when i put the keep net away i found the Ruffe i caught also ....... it does not get any worse than this ! 

Onwards to the next match and well done Jamie for a well run match .
