By Ponso Pondhopper Well, we are in the heights of Summer, despite the dreadful
weather. Now, fellow anglers and lovers of cooked fish, a little Summer
treat for you all. This year marks the very first Annual Wedmath Catfish
Hunt! We shall meet up in Woodhall at seven and a half bells on the
seventh day of Wedmath and spend a happy hour or two tempting the
catfish out of their pool ’neath Woodhall Bridge. As usual
there will be prizes for the lucky (and unlucky) winners, entertainment,
if folk would be kind enough to bring it, and a grand fry up
afterwards, so the cooks might want to stock up on breadcrumbs and the
like… Now, catfish are very interesting animals, as well as
being very, very tasty, and I intend to spend a little time before the
match to tell you a little about their habitat and life cycle, and of
course the best way to catch ‘em! So we shall spend a little time in the
middle of Woodhall before heading out to the water’s edge. (So plenty
of time for tardy anglers to join us before the match starts – you know
who you are!) Now, as usual there is no need to register, just turn up
on the day with your fishing tackle and bait. Hopefully the stocks of
catties will hold up in this wet weather and we shall be in for a treat! Do come and join us, and tell all your friends, Ponso Pondhopper President, Shire Angling Club What: Fishing Match Where: Woodhall When: 30 July at 7:30 pm ((UK time, 2:30 pm Servertime)) Inspecting the state of the banks |
