a gin clear and weedy canal greeted us which didnt bode well and a real grueller ensued.
steve fished a steady match to land 4 fish 3 silvers and 1 perch for a runaway victory. it was obviously a flyer and i think the peg was good for at least 8oz!
the tangler took second with a tidy match of two bites two fish achieved with a specimen approach and quality fish!
darren snared just one perch for 3rd on the choppie
blacky landed one perch for a well deserved 4th
joint 5th was bill on 1 fish (not a bream as bank side rumours suggested)
and clive with two fry
now you might think that this was not a very eventful match ...how wrong you are.the first bit of excitement occurred when a local fishery owner took a small motor boat through everyones peg to have a word with me (the organiser) apparently some one expressed the opinion he was a knobhead which i confirmed and the resulting mellee there was about 6 club members in my peg politely requesting he come out of his boat and 'discuss' the issue on the bank!
he declined but then threatened to 'get his gun' and sort us out. it got a bit ugly and feeling the satey of club memebers was seriously under threat i called the police to resolve the incident as threats of fire arms could get out of hand. he then dissapeared in his boat going through the pegs again just to wind everyone up.
10 minutes later his wife turns up with two huge dogs looking for the organiser (me) she then proceeded to take up the argument which was pointless as i wasn't in the right frame of mind. the up shot of it was they were setting up a fishery and objected to anglers fishing the canal near to there land. (obviously to tempt more anglers on to their ponds) what a pair of retards clueless about business and alienated there local source of income the local angling club!!
Additional Info :-
the police are dealing with the incident as he has threatened to disrupt any future matches any where on the canal and he also decided he had reclassified the venue as a river so we will be reported for fishing it off season. it is infact a land drain and as such open all year. i fear for the idiots saftey.
