Round 5 Report Guinea Gap

Round 5 result and report

Well round 5 was planned for vale park over high I arrived just before 7am only to find another club pegging out the left hand side of the shelter for a match they were holding there. So waited for everyone else to arrive when we started talking about what to do next so while everyone booked on they all chatted with each other about what to do so once everyone had booked on we had a meeting and the options of fishing the right hand side or to move up to guinea gap and the majority voted to move to guinea gap so we all shot off and reconvened at the top of the ramp by the baths once everyone was ready we all set off to our chosen spots.
So we all got set up in plenty of time so 9 am the match started and it didn't take long for the first fish coming over the rail's mainly whiting and dabs this was how it carried on for the next 2 hours until Brian Roper found a nice codling of 45cm this encouraged some of us to carry on trying for a codling but no more showed up except a smaller 25cm codling caught by Tanya Denny . As the match neared the end it looked like it was going to be close with most anglers having a flat and round fish on their card . Soon enough it was 1 o'clock and all in was called so back to the cars for the results and some refreshments. So I put the hotdog s on to cook and then sorted the cards.so while I sorted the results Robert Turner turned into head chef and sorted out the food while everyone else had a drink Dave Roberts sorted out the table for the secret Santa and everyone put their gifts on the table. So with all the results sorted and everyone fed and watered we did the presentation and in. 1st was Brian roper who found a dab to go with his cod for a total of 73cm and he also won the pool for biggest fish with his 45cm codling .
2nd went to Dan Davies who managed to find a 34cm whiting on his 2nd to last cast to go with his dab for a total of 60cm he also won the pool for smallest fish with a 6cm sandeel.
3rd went to Dave Roberts, Rob turner and John Waugh who all had a dab and a whiting for 59cm.
6th went to Gary swift, Jordan Roberts and Tanya Denny who all had 58cm. 9 th went to Tom Roberts and meireg darley with 57 cm.
The golden peg was number 24 Chris James but unfortunately he didn't win so it roll's on to the next match .
So with all results done we moved on to the secret Santa and everyone had put a gift on the table so I drew all names out at random until all gifts were gone so all in all was a great day that went well in the end I hope everyone enjoys the Christmas break and hopefully see you all at our next match on Sunday 12th January at seaforth. As soon as I get chance to update the halfway totals I will put up a current leaderboard and an update on All the fish pools

Cheers Mark
