Well lads what can I say from start to the very end my sides were splitting, I can't honestly say a bad word about any of the 12 lads that attended the social It was a pleasure to spend 48 hours with you all I thoroughly enjoyed it thank you.
I was gunna try do a blog for this weekend but I can't remember a thing from Friday night too many beers no fish typical Y.a.f social for me then but waking upt Saturday morning with a crucifying headache and cramp in my ribs from laughing I knew I had to screw my head on a bit and catch a fish I don't wanna blank here. So while God was throwing together his perfect storm I made some new rigs and watched a scary electrical storm I thought world was coming to an end at one point.
Fishing was slow all around the lake with the fish still battered and bruised a bit from spawning getting fish out wasn't gunna be right easy but Bob and Pete lead the way with pete getting a soaking with 3 fish fish bless him but he was as happy as a pig in s**t.
SATURDAY day seemed to fly by especially when sun came out and all lads doing what us yaf lads do best SOCIALISE!!
I decided to bring my rods in about 3pm and go for a walk round to find so good clear spots that I could fish that would be safe for the fish to get out of and put some bait in. Or maybe cause I wanted abit of peace and quite to go ring frenchy (my new victim) as Jimmy would say. until even that got ruined when Viking dave did his best to warn her away from me
I got back clipped my rods up which was no easy task I knew my spots were clear but two foot either side was thick thick weed I took a fair few casts to hit my spots at least 6 on each it wasn't an easy task and I screwed a fair few up before I was happy with were they was and this was it once they was in I told funky how happy I was with them I was so confident in all three of my spots and I got on beer again and demolished another take away...
And that was just for Bob
After tea Jimmy bagged his third fish luckily for dave I won't say no more then that.
And the lads sat in the circle of happiness and listened to all funkys stories...
We're a handsome bunch ain't we.
As light fell we were all a bit tired and mainly drunk so we retired to bed early until finnally my delkims ripped of and woke half of the lake from there pits a realy strong hard fighting fish was somehow scooped into my net by Lewis I've never seen netting skills like it before thank you mate I thought I was gunna lose it haha and here she is 17ld 08oz if I'm correct...
A lovely looking fish as they all are in q lake and that was it my right hand rod went back out somewere near on the money and I went back to bed until 3am when my middle tod went off and woke poor funky up from his coma a very tough fight playing this fish very weary as it was my fish ever fish on a chod rig a scary fight at the net and a lovely 18 ld 08oz mirrow rolled in my net I unhooked her and chucked this in refiner sling as first light was rapidly approaching so I thought best to let her recover for 20 minutes...
Another stunning little fish I was so happy at this point my rod went back out and I tried getting some kip again as I was totally knacked by this time until again my delkims screamed into life on my left hand rid this time a clean sweep all three rods what I was super confident in went off and a very good fight later I knew I was fighting something bigger and when good old Scotty bless him netted my prize i knew it was a good fish and I wasbt wrong a lovely dark old looking warrior of 22ld 10 oz match winner was looking at me to say I was happy doesn't come close and here she is in all her glory with a photo of scales for proof
What a beauty I was ecstatic whether i won the match or not I was done I was so happy rod went back out and I had a coffee to celebrate rest of morning passed and hearing other people's alarms put a smile on my face truly did what more could we ask for more the half of the lad banked a fish 19 fish out in total on a tough weekend and God knows how many lost but more importantly without fish what a bloody weekend boys roll on next one theses socials realy are starting to make a good name for themselves I thank you all for a putting a big smile on my face...
