and one major hissyfit,Report: well sirs and madams, its been a long time coming, i havent been fishing properly since the 27th of december due to a slipped disc and today was to mark the return of yours truley to competitive anglay. oh yes, sir, the hopes were running high of catching a few. i also had the pleasure of bringing the humpaumpa out for a test spin.
nice too see a few new faces racked up the beach, and at 3pm we a tossed our baits hopefuly into the sea with ambitions of going for gold! after a couple of fruitless casts later, i had my first fish of comp on the on the board, a good few fish seemed to be coming in around me too, mostly codling and coalies. it was reallly sporadic though and i was finding the work rate hard going, i was really determained to get a good start. i eventualy found a few fish and began taking singles of coalies at around 20 yards on straight mussel. 6 coalies all counters in 7 casts and i was pretty chuffed. from here on to the death i cant really say what happened. but i lost the fish and couldnt refind them, not one, nada. all around me fish were still coming in, rumours were fluttering around that j.p molloy had 57 fish in the first hour seemed innacurate, don on peg 1 also had 16 fish, and despite mark beatty's pesismism he had 9. it was a bloody nightmare.
experience taught me to keep at it, ive come back from disaster before to attain a reasonable result. more fish showed, headlamps were moving nervously to the beat of signing fish in. i was truley shagged come 7pm, mark beatty had the impossible to catch 20 something fish in the dying hour and half. sadly for me come half seven i still only had 7 fish and i did the unthinkable i packed up, i pulled a dbrock. ive packed up early before by mistaking time, but ive never given up willingly. i had a proper little diva moment, ripped up me card and trudged off. 5 minutes later i was all smiles again and headed back up to the car. i can honestly say in my match fishing carrer that will be the last time i do that
