Magpie Lake, Pidley, 21 November 2010

9 hardy souls fished the latest Grebe match at Magpie lakes, Pidley.

Out in front with a fine 25lb was Martin Spragg fishing maggot and pellet on the feeder to the island from end peg 12. Weasel who started at least half an hour after everyone else was second with 13lb 4oz fishing similar tactics from peg 11. A big well done to Stewart who finished 3rd from Peg 5 fishing the pole across to the reeds, he weighed in 12lb.

Ron managed 4th place with 9lb 4oz from peg 6 fishing pole on the deck with pinkie and worm, the weights dropped of after that next best was A T Tony with 3lb 14oz, Simon had 2lb 4oz and BIG T had 1lb 14oz. Borag and Wayne did not weigh though both had a few Roach.

Well thats another season nearly done, the championship was wrapped up by Jon Wilson some time ago and it looks like Stewart will win the Handicap Cup, though Keith is still in with a shout.
The Winter cup is still wide open, it is between Ron, Weasel and Jon Wilson, though Martin Spragg could win it if results go his way.

See you at the fur and feather, if you have not done so could you please let me know if you are coming.
