Day 4 Fishing Week Cob House Open 4/8/11

Back again for another Cob House breakfast sorry Open but you have to fuel up before you do battle with the fish in Laugherne Island and after the 4th Cob breakfast in 8 days I think I will have to get some bigger jeans, there was the same amount of anglers as yesterday 15 but with 39 pegs on the pool we would have plenty of room and hopefully plenty of fish. Into the draw bag and I pulled out peg 16, Stav went in and came back with peg 22 a peg he has had a couple of time before and had a moan as peg 22 is in the bottom bowl with no island to throw too, my peg is on the opposite bank looking across the pool to Satv but with the last peg able to throw to the bottom point of the island, although 5 pegs apart we had drawn next to each other again for the 3rd day running and with us virtually facing each other it would be another battle for the £1 side-bet-series. Scott had drawn another end-peg corner peg 36 but Stav and I had couldn't complain about the amount of room we had,

In an attempt to play catch up I will cut this one short, I weighed in 119lb 9oz to come nowhere with 250lb winning and Scott 2nd with 197lb. I caught most of my fish on the method feeder and spent too much time trying to catch fish down the edge on the paste but couldn't make 'em have it, I think if I had have stuck to the feeder I would have made 3rd which was 140lb. The best part of the day was when Stav weighed in 119lb 7oz just 2oz less than me to make it 2-2 in our £1 side bet series so we would have to battle it out on our club match at Solhampton on Sunday.
