This was a day I’d rather forget. In fact it’d been a few days I’d rather forget with quite a few\u00a0setbacks but, hey ho.\u00a0It was Rd2 of the Packington Winter League and the result was a\u00a0near-last in section (I think there was a\u00a0DNW I beat). When your luck’s down it’s down and after joking\u00a0all week I’d draw dreaded peg 41 that’s precisely what I did!<\/p>\n
Boy it was cold and wet and after five forgettable hours I’d managed just five little skimmers for a massive 1lb 7oz. I was even ounced by someone! To rub salt into the wounds Phil Canning won the match next door on 42! All day I could see carp rolling between him and 43 and it was like someone had put up a brick wall.\u00a0Nothing on waggled bread, bomb and bread and one skimmer on\u00a0a maggot feeder. Dripping maggots 16m towards those pegs couldn’t yield a fish of any kind, even in those last 10 minutes when I’d normally expect an\u00a0F1 to give itself up.<\/p>\n
Never mind.\u00a0A week to try to\u00a0move on from positively. Onwards and upwards!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
