cky Race!

fter 4 full competition days, all the anglers are gearing
up for the 5th and final day. I’ve had mixed results in the
previous days and hoping to better my placing in the final
table. I realise that in this kind of big events, the anglers
must be prepared in every way as the competition takes its
toll on your tackle, your stamina and your morale. At the
end of the fouth day, the Adam Wakelin and Rob Wootton pair is still ahead with 145.030kgs followed by Darren
Davies and Bob Nudd with 105.550kgs. As for Kevin and I,
well, let’s just say we’re in the top ten, but at the wrong end!

Day 5 Final Day : ‘The End of the Wacky Race!’ as my mate
Fergal puts it.
I draw peg no 9 at Bunerky Lake so Kev will fish Brackley
and he drew peg no 4. As Kevin dropped me off at the gate
to Bunerky, it was then I realised that we had to walk for
miles to get to the pegs with our heavy kit! “Make small
trips lad, otherwise it’ll do you in”. Good advice indeed
and I reckon everyone made at least 3 trips to carry all our
tackle to our pegs.
