2nd bye 18/05/13 at kingsbury water park

well the second match of the season was fished on the causeway pool at kingsbury water park. i knew this match was going to be hard but never thought it would be half as hard as it turned out things started well with dave gordon netting a double figure carp in the first ten minutes news was filtering through that colin had also landed a big un! as for the rest of us it was turning into a bit of a mare! i said to gordon who was pegged to my right that at least will all come equal 3rd if no one else catches
as it turned out there were a few fish caught not many but some good uns. my dad had a very nice tench plus a few skimmers alfie also had a nice tench , i managed a 3lb 10oz bream, stan had a decent skimmer but apart from that just a few bits were caught
along the far bank i could see some very glum faces. tony, micky and john poole were all fishless which is very,very rare and as dave preece keeps reminding them that he beeat them all with a mighty 1oz well done dave no wooden spoon this year mate. at the weigh in it was dave gordon who came out on top with one fish that weighed 10-02-00 and is the clubs biggest fish to be caught this season. my dad was second with 08-10-00 and colin third with 08-00-00 and well done alfie coming third beating me by 2oz ( git! ) well done alfie
