  The JINX Series 2005

  Match 5.

  

   

  Well it looks as if THE JINX is slowly coming home to roost for a few of the participants in the series.
  
  17 of us met up for round 5 and after the usual banter set off down the boards to our alloted pegs.
  
  For most of us it appeared that the fish didn’t really want to play with the notable exception of Peg26 where Steve W had a very pleasant day with a succession of carp and a winning bag of 89lbs 6ozs.

  

  Spare a thought for those around him, Keith had to watch him bagging all match while struggling for his 4 fish while Dirk managed to avoid the dreaded DNW with a solitary Perch.

  

   

  I struggled with just a tench and a carp in the first 3 hours till i strolled down the boards to plant a smacker on Malc’s head , finally managing another 5 fish on the baggin wag  for 27lbs 10ozs to bump me up the results.

  
  

  
  NickW (Neo-1) managed to get out of jail by snatching some small perch from under the boards, while Nick WP (Monkey) managed a couple of carp in the final hour to lift his spirits with his best result in the series so far ……
  
  

  

  
  Dai on the end peg spent the match finding out just how far a 2¾lb carp rod could bend as he did battle with a succession of lumps under the boards with a final score standing at 15-4 to the carp , putting 20lbs 14 on the scales for 6th.
  
  Neil M managed a couple of proper ones at the death for 18lbs and 8th……….
  
  

  

  
  …….but did have the distraction of having to watch Paul trying everything he could think of all day to no avail and still record a BLANK!!!!!!!!
  

  

  
  Malc fished THE MAGGOT for 3rd on the day with a level 28lbs (the lengths he’ll sink to to get £1 off me.)

  
  
  Keith’s lad David managed to beat dad 19lbs 14ozs to 10lbs 12 ozs…………
  
  

  

  
  Geoff E snuck into 5th with 24lbs 2ozs………..
  
  

  

  
  while Matt fished his usual tidy match on pellet & feeder for 37lbs 2ozs and 2nd on the day………….
  

  

  
  So it’s onward to Manor Farm for the final match of the series, can we keep THE JINX at bay or will it return with a vengeance? We’ll soon find out.
