Nico and Papa Chav focus on the task
It was the morning before curry and beers, but it was as if we had already had them. After a reasonable day at Sherwood where the standard was set and with Nico 3 points in the bag, but a fourth section down, it was all to play for. The weather was cold, 2 degrees in the van as we approached the Vale of Belvoir. It didn't look good and as it turned out it wasn't. Serpent lake selected, pegs 11, 12 and 13 unlucky for some!
Pole to the far side, maggot and pellet. We must get a few. Nicholls and Nico confident - carp nets in. And then! Nothing!
Early carp for Nicholls, odd skimmers and roach across the team. Nicholls had a few more small carp.
Nico and PC weight in
Blokes opposite were bagging on - corn. So why not fish corn? We continued on pellet and maggot. A few bits here and there. Nicholls changed to corn for the last two hours and surprisingly a few small carp and a barbel followed, together with a few lost fish and it was obvious that corn over pellets was the game - but as ever too little too late.
Nico's 2.5lb of hard earned silvers.
The brave face says it all!
Papa Chav's first victory over Nico - 3.5lb of bits and the odd carp.
Only thing that PC had to land - if only it was alive!
That is a little more like it!
Barbel bonus put it beyond doubt. Barbel however in shock after PC approaches
Winning net 12lb - but poor for Lakeview
