Sedges, Tile Lake, 26 Feb (9 pegs)

After the chaos that ensued last week at Burley Fields "fishery" (their description not mine), turning up at The Sedges this week couldn't have been more different.
Keepnets and landing nets supplied ready and waiting, scales and weigh-sling on the bank, kettle boiled, sign up on the wall displaying who's fishing where and owner Denise on hand to welcome her customers ... proper job!
We had been assigned the roadside bank of Tile (pegs 21 to 30) which, apparently, had been fishing better recently and with only nine fishing, all ten pegs went into the hat so it was sod's law that the golden peg (29) was the peg that was left in the bag so yes, I should have drawn two golden pegs out just in case but never mind!
Our newest member (who is so new I haven't thought up an abusive name for him yet), Lionel Legge was fortunate enough to draw the flier peg , 21,  in the car park corner and promptly cruised to victory with an impressive weight of 42lbs 13oz.
Lionel's catch consisted mostly of carp caught down the edge of the car park bank at 14m on pellet over pellet feed and some taken on the lead further out along the edge.
Second place, for the second week running, went to Chris Szakacs who was pegged next to the winner on peg 22.  Chris had three carp early on the straight lead with bread fished up to the island before switching to a "banjo" feeder with micro and hard banded pellet hookbait for 30lbs 9oz.
Just five ounces behind was Psv's most senior member, Bob I don't fish for silvers Warren, with 30lbs 4oz consisting mostly of skimmers caught on 4mm soft pellet over micros at 11m.
Bob commented after the match that if he hadn't have wasted 25 seconds fishing the tip (for carp) at the start of the match he would have got 2nd ... comical but true!
