Acorn open cost cutter

Well as it was my birthday yesterday my wonderful Mrs said she would pay my wages for the day so I could go fishing today so I wanted to go to acorn as don’t get to go there much as it is booked by a club every Sunday !!!!! On the way weather looked nice just fingers crossed for a good draw had a chat with the old boys that I didn’t know and everyone was most welcoming. Then 2 familiar faces rocked up tom thick and matt Thomas lovely so we had a good chat and decided on a 3 way pound then ray bazeley shouted us to draw so I went in first and pulled 15 I think that’ll do not where I wanted but beggars can’t be choosers!!! Then ray started shouting no no all back re draw re draw ooh I thought I got another chance to be on the island pegs 1 to 4 oh no not me pulled out possibly the worst peg of the day it was that bad that I’m not sure if it was 26 or 27 I’m sure someone will tell me ??? So it was it a bit choppy with wind coming right to left and it was freezing decided to dob bread across for first 30 mins first put in and it buried 8oz carp not what I was after but saved the blank!!!! Then the wind really got going and I struggled to hold the pole out there 😑😑😑 so I went dobbing down my left managed 1 stray fish down there carp between 1 and 2 pound so kept at it for a while with no joy and kept trying across. But no joy. So I cad potted a few maggots and some tom thick gb at top 7 towards the pipe in open water and had a nice run of 4 little roach then bites dried up there and the sun got up so I couldn’t see my float there or anywhere to my left 😱😱😱😱🀬🀬🀬🀬 so now I had know where to fish so I got off the box and grabbed the tip rod chucked it around a bit with a small hybrid feeder for not a sniff 😒😒😒😒 every now and then the wind would die down and by the time I got back out with the dobbing rig it picked back up and was near enough un fishable 😀😀😀😀 I did foul hook one more carp on the bread and lost it at the net 🀬🀬🀬🀬😑😑😑 and that was that I knew today wasn’t gonna be easy but didn’t expect that!!! But a bad day fishing was still better than a good day at work πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ never mind and I had to give a pound to matt Thomas who had 15lb plus all on the tip he just pipped tom by a couple of pound I think I didn’t hang around 2o odd pound won the match and 7pound odd won the silvers . It was good to be out shame about the wind and was good to meet some new faces. Here’s the results 
Sunday sees me back at Sedges for rnd 3 of the silvers league fingers crossed for a good draw 🀞🀞🀞🀞 thanks for reading πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸŽ£πŸŽ£πŸŽ£

Sedges silvers rnd 2 tile again

Was dyeing to get out as not fished the last 2 weekends but by all accounts I haven’t missed much !!!
Any way weather looked ok not too cold or windy but it’s been up and down all week with a fair bit of rain earlier in the week. Anyway good bit of banter before the draw as per usual and then pushed in the que and drew peg 31 tile lake corner peg 😑😑😑😱😱😱 was not best pleased but all u can do is try your best.
For company had big Jason fern and next to him owner Jamie cook πŸ€”πŸ€” behind us mouth all mighty shane (show) pope so if nothing we would have a laugh πŸ˜‚ Jason forgot his sidetray so lent him my mosella bag to use as one and at one point his top 3 just came off so without even saying a word I slid round and nudged it back to him with 13m of pole 😊😊anyway fishing was rock hard today first two hours I put 3 small skimmers in the net on gb feeder not a sniff on the pole early!!🀬🀬🀬 the middle 2 hours I really struggled putting nothing in the net was rotating my lines and changing baits for nothing. Lost one skimmer on the pole which has cost me a point or 2 but who knows !!!! I did land 3 more skimmers biggest one with 30 mins to go which probably doubled my weight hooked 3 carp during the day landed the last one after the whistle!!! I was telling Jason it was a big tench but more like hoping πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ lost a few pound coins today Bob Gullick jonny page the shane show Wayne staples but took one off matt Thomas and Sam Johnson Tx me after he saw me put my last and biggest skimmer in the net saying that’s done me and he packed up and chipped off without coughing upπŸ˜±πŸ˜±πŸ˜±πŸ˜±πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚so I weighed in a mighty 4.10lb Jason 6lb + then Jamie 5lb plus then Jerry Day 11oz+πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚then 35 won are section with 7lb plus sorry don’t know his name πŸ€” nice bloke had a little chat!!!! So that was that nothing I can do except take it on the chin keep smiling and I still give the banter and received a load πŸ‘ŠπŸ‘ŠπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ was good to be out tho and hopefully that will be my dropper never mind always next week !!!! Thanks for reading hope everyone had a better day than me πŸŽ£πŸŽ£πŸŽ£πŸŽ£πŸŽ£πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
