"Wrighty - get back here with that bloody camera!!!" was the cry as the 14s elastic shot out across the sluice. After several discussions in recent weeks about the distinct lack of snigs on the Sluice, lo & behold I bagged one - and what a snake it was. Although not good enough to help me win the match, I settled for a comfortable (as it turned out) 2nd place with 11lb 13oz made up of a Tench around 2lb 8oz, a Bream of around 4lb 8oz and that snake which was probably 2lb 8oz. I say probably, because despite three people having a go, nobody would get hold of it long enough to weigh it separately!! Word of the week (with a scrabble score of 13) is so far going to Wrighty for r e g u r g i t a t e, during his description of what the snigs do with hooks. Mine was so far down it's neck I lost the No10 stot which was 4 inches from the hook...
Paul Tabron took the honours with a very impressive bag - 14lb 12oz from the other end peg including a couple of decent slab Bream. I was already settled into my usual spot on peg 3 - the fourth time in six matches this season I've drawn it out of the bag. Brian Woods took third with 8lb 6oz including a decent Tench.
Everyone who fished caught tonight, which is a marked contrast to the recent matches. The Bream appear to be moving back down river, possibly as a result of a double-spawn this year. The slabs which were caught tonight were certainly 'flat', looking like they have recently spawned. Additionally, the hybrids are now showing in increasing numbers, which wasn't the case as recently as a week ago.
