Final round of my series Sedges brick

Well at the draw kept quiet for a change didn’t wanna jinx anything and went last in the bucket pulled peg 6 
  was confident of a few fish and hopefully the section!!! Plan was bomb and pellet to the rope soft pellet over 4mm at 13m and 6m at the all in fed my lines sparingly then I’ve chucked the bomb out with nothing to show for it in the first hour except a few liners I tried my pole lines 10 mins or so went by and I’ve hooked a carp gently gently eased it back nice plump 8 pounder in the net πŸ‘Š stayed on that 13m line landing 2 skimmers and then losing a carp at the net 😑😑😑😑 then I was struggling again back out on the bomb as Emma drysdale had a couple in quick succession and I’ve had a wrap round lovely another plump 8 pounder ish then back out again had a big drop back picked up and squeezed another slightly smaller carp in the net after a hefty battle it was foul hooked under the pec. Then it was a struggle couldn’t really buy a bite on any of my lines 😱😱😱 Emma seemed to have creeped in front of me now and I was proper struggling last hour now and i fed a big pot of pellet on both my pole lines 30 mins before and I’ve gone in on the 13 m line had another good carp then lost a flying skimmer!!!! Couldn’t buy a bite anywhere decided to try my short line which I hadn’t had as much as a liner all day and as soon as the float settled it’s buried nice skimmer around 2 pound gone in again buried straight away then it came off 😭😭😭 and that was the end of that new I’d lost it !!! As could see Mark Thorne peg 11 and russ peck peg 12 goin fish for fish all day but looked like Mark was winning the battle. And I thought Emma was still in front. There’s my pretty motion less tip!!!! Right so packed up pretty quick and joined jonny page to start weighing he was on peg 1 and before the match he laid down a £10 bet but jonny struggled in peg 1 just foul hooking 1 fish all day cheers Jon πŸ˜‚ are section was pretty tough jim and dave struggled also then Emma weighed in 40 pound + then me 36 pound not good enough 2 nd in section my lost fish have cost me dear 😑😑😑 only hope was russ beating Mark in there section but that was not to be either Mark won the match section and league with 115 pound and russ (double decker pecker ) got the section money by default narrowly being beaten he weighed 113 pound but I must say what a battle it was watching them go fish for fish but mark in the corner peg was always gonna be favourite. Silvers went to lee Williams with 16 pound . So top 3 in the league was
1st Mark Thorne with 5pts
2nd me with 5 pts 
3rd emma drysdale with 6pts
And overall silvers winner was Ron stark with 60 odd pound of silvers over the 5 matches 
Thanks to everyone who fished and turned up every round and thanks to Jamie cook and mike Ducket for hosting our matches and thanks to Ron stark for doing all the calculations of the league .
Not gonna lie I’m gutted I’ve shit out 😑😑😑😑😱😱😱😭😭😭😭but all credit to Mark Thorne sneaking up the leader board. Looking back I messed up at landsend (worst result all year ) but hey ho on to the next one  thanks for reading I will post the final league positions tomorrow on match fishing south west πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Culpins calamities rnd 4 landsend speci and match

Short and sweet this one!!!!! Wheels fell off today ☹️
Went in full of confidence plan was just go in gently gently not a lot of bait and wait. Drew peg 34 speci really fancied the peg for a few looked good bit of wind blowing in but it was just not to be 2 hours in and I hadn’t had a bite been over the far bank down the edges and down middle couldn’t buy a bite anywhere there was fish moving by the aireator so got off me box set the bomb up and nothing on it not even a twitch. Managed to sneak 2 small roach down the middle and 2 small skimmers my overall weight was 1 pound dead 😑😑😑 last in section got bashed up by lee (des )Phillips off the next peg who won the match with 57 pound odd so he got one of his quids back off me I’m glad really cos it was getting a bit embarrassing taking his pound every week.well done lee πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚. Anyway for most it had fished hard Jamie Hughes or steve Howell  won his section with 5o odd pound  and lee Williams also won his section with 50 odd pound Ron stark won silvers with 11.14 beating steve Howell by 1 oz winter is definitely here I had to give Mark Thorne a pound also and lee Phillips and Jonny page and steve Howell but as me steve are sharing winnings his winnings paid for me and the Mrs  tea cheers mate papas was lovely πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ so really gotta get my head Down final round 🀞🀞🀞thanks for reading hope everyone had a better weekend than me πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ no pics phone died ☹️☹️
