2019 round 14 Lindholme Loco

[Leo Martin]

Summer league round 14 Lindholme Lakes Loco.

The penultimate round of the summer League and also Loco lake sneaky practise before the Big Bash vs James Maude deciding team match.
Autumn is the season of change, early morning mist, temperature changes, todays weather was a lovely bright sunny day, slightly awkward wind at times and I suppose the major change of the day was adjusting to the fish having an off day with bites hard to come by as Loco fish drove the Big Bash anglers Loco.
Morning breakfast table full, nice to see Paul Abbey and Dave Dobbs from LORAC AC who are joining the BB Winter league again. We also re-welcomed guests Paul Whitehouse and Eddie Hearn who both collected brown envelopes, well done guys.
For many Bashers there couldn't have been a greater contrast with the previous weeks match  at Jansons and "real" fishing of Lindholme. 
Lake shared with some Open Anglers ( who also struggled) but each angler had a spare peg alongside them, Great teamwork and assistance once again from Jasper, Mike, Glen and Indian and Andy W8 on weighing in duties, thank-you.
Peg 27 office for the day on the dreaded bank backing onto Bennies, with neighbours Dave Fox, Indian and Glen on end peg but within talking range.
Pellet waggler, Bomb rod and several pole lines were the choices for the day. Long story short I've not had any carp interest in my many offerings. One period I chose to go the silver route as neighbours Indian and Dave were also without carp so thoughts were bag some silvers and hopefully much needed section points however one fish from Indian killed these thoughts and Dave also caught one to rub salt in so back in search of a carp bite.
Big Glen started the match off in style, 4 fish in his first 6 chucks. His offerings hit the spot and not sure if it was the bait or his topless body attracting them. Taking advantage of the end peg he fished a great match catching though-out the day to record his second loco match win this season. Well done my friend.
Overall the weights recorded were very much lower than expected, that's fishing and why we throw out our challenge to catch fish. The quality of the fish caught was outstanding with some very heavy lads and lasses caught to show that you only need a few to soon amass a very good weight.
Paul Smiler Atton had one such unit which he managed to land on light tackle, but come the weigh in and lifting his net it had mysteriously vanished? Someone had switched his net and Paul in his urgency to weigh his conquest didn't even notice the difference in a round or square keepnet as they has been swapped. I guess his last laugh was taking the small gold coin form his good friend Steve Guy which makes 3 on the trot now, just saying Steve.
Special mention to Stephen Akal (aka Steak) who chose a busy day silver bashing and totalled 19-0, well done sir.

Nice one leo...

Billy - there was 18 of us and maybe 6 of the open lads which was only won with 69lb. At least fishing will be the same for everyone in October, its not reliant on the draw.

The whole of the complex looks to have been a struggle yesterday so not reflective on its usual high performance. Thats fishing I suppose and the challenge of catching fish.

Loco had 6 Open anglers sharing the lake with us, and recorded weights of 2 x DNW, 39.5, 69.1, 62.15 & 45.5.
Willows open anglers recorded  50.7, 2 x DNW 49.9, 62.1 & 53.15.
Bennies open anglers section  had 117.10, 57.4, 95.9, 128.8, 73.1 an 142.12
