Friday 3 rd
Friday night was spent in the Big Room at the Lib, Reminiscing our youth with tribute band The Beatlegs. All the normal Friday night crowd were in their usual seats in the bar. Andy and I decided to fish Five ways open match on Saturday after dancing the night away.

Into the café early Saturday morning for a healthy greasy- fry up. Good job we were early as a Yorkshire club were on Makins Fishery and had called in for breakfast.
Free tea's were being handed out on arrival at Five ways. 24 taking part in the completion. I drew peg no. 24 Andy drew Peg 50, opposite sides of the lake. I had Richard Grant and Eddie Sharrod either side of me. I started tight across on a Bomb and worm. Feeding carp worm and caster at 11 metes. Cat meat and corn in the margins.
Richard Grant was into carp from the whistle using paste as hook bait. But it was a struggle for most competitors.
3 small bream, a few perch and a mini carp for 5lb 10oz was all I could pull together. Andy didn't fair much better using similar tactics to myself.
The paste anglers out fished everyone else with two 64lb weights and a 47lb to take the podium finishes.
Sunday 5 th
The Bedworth Police A.C. match was booked on Spring Pools at Newton on the A5 outside of Rugby.
Peg 3 was Andy's draw for the day, I was on peg 8.
Cat meat at 11 metres, corn and pellets down the margins as per normal for this water. But a slow day was in prospect. This is normally a prolific water but most anglers were struggling.
I finished with 7 carp for 15lb. Andy had a carp and a few roach.
