Those trainers were hidden in my truck, again!, the occurring theme it would seem... they'll definitely be back next year, they're way too smart for me! lol

How did that happen

The otter just about escaped the wooden spoon! lol

It was won by a lad who has fished it the last 2 years and is a regular guest of the fishery, they book now to coincide with the comp and get involved with the lot.. we charged £10 to fish and £10 for the barbie to boost the pot.. so all the extra people who are turning up contributed as well..

Owain (Wales1234) came 2nd with 33lb, decent net of bream and a cracking crucian.. 

Carp counted as 1lb this year and it tightened it up quite a lot... fishing wasn't amazing, but everyone caught.

1st 38lb

2nd 33lb

3rd 21lb

4th 19lb

Decent that mate, in fairness to his nibs, it’s very hard to put maggots on when you only have thumbs ! lol

Didn't take many pics..

But loved this pic that Bud put onto a banner, our old mate Johnny boy, still sorely missed and talked about at every comp..

The pellet pouch , was actually designed as a pellet pouch . It's made so that when it's closed with pellets inside , it doesn't go completely flat , and deform your pellets , and the loop is long enough , that you can open the pouch when youre shooting prone, and your pellets dont drop out.

If you pm your postal address over , my mrs will make you a bespoke catapult pouch as a present for your lad mate .

Kind offer. Many thanks mate. I don’t expect it for nothing. I’ll send you a PM.

As all posted above, brilliant weekend, great craic, fishing, food, drink, many thanks to to Kev and the Luccombes fishery team and also the non thl people who stayed there, fished and joined in 100% with the ethos of the comp.

Sean and Ollie again top auctioneers, Sean's upped his game now he's moved on from cooking duties but team McGuinness did an amazing job with the food (all donated by several people but as usual, a special mention to Dan, Sock's butcher.

Speaking of Socks, he blessed us with his appearance this year after a couple of years off whilst working his way up the corporate ladder, being a director of a (company with 2.9/3/3.2/3.5 billion pounds turnover and businesses in 11 countries. )

As usual, great fundraising for a good cause, everybody joined in, fantastic team effort.

  It really is worth the effort even if your not a great fisherman.  (I'm not if anyone didn't know )This year I saw the competition and thought "I'm not a better angler than any of these, let's just hope I'm luckier"

I was, I pissed all over Bob and Joe.  

Great weekend once again, as usual.

Sorry no pics.

Cheers, D.
