The Ladybower Cup 2004.

Ashopton viaduct over Ladybower Reservoir.

    Day 1. Friday…

We arrived at Ladybower early this year so we managed to get an evenings bank fishing in on Friday as a warm up to the boat competition on Saturday and Sunday. Any fish caught were not going to count towards the main competition scores but we all had a little side bet just to make it interesting. The usual bet on these occasions is FIRST, BIGGEST, MOST. So we all had £2 each on each bet. None of us had ever fished from the bank there before so it was new to us all. We started on the bank near the old fishery office [Between H & G on the HERE!

    Congratulations to Mr newts.net for his expertise in the art of the
    (trol, sorry willy we saw you) fly. In all fairness to you i thought that because of all the effort you put in the event, it was only fair that on saturday i only fished with one arm!.
    No troling was carried out in boat no9, Mrd Bov did really well and deserved his best boat award on saturday.The whole competition was a sham with no rules being given to all contenders! Ok i had nine fish sunday but that could of been 29!!!!!!!. So enjoy the banter on the video footage of the ladycheatbower cup 2004.
    ps, If your only allowd to catch 6 fish per day, and we all catch 6 fish, this is only down to luck of which bag weigh’s the most (all fish over 10 inch must be returned and all fish over must be killed) So the ladybower cup is for the dude with ladyluck on his side and no skill at all. As you said newts 42 fish caught over the weekend!!!!!!!!! all down to luck.
    so have your trophy it doesn’t deserve a place in my cabinet as all the other trophy’s have been won on skill not luck!

    May I be the first to congratulate Gary on his prestigous win which was shamelessly taken away from underneath him.

    Rather than dazzle us with regulations and calculations, who *caught* the most fish?? Cockus #1.

    You’ve soiled the honour and prestige of the ladybower cup, and its a stain that won’t come off with a bit of brasso…

    As for your ‘trophy’ cabinet gaz, its about as full as our fucking hoover.

    It’s not the QUANTITY Wez, it’s the QUALITY! Even with his 3 *extras* Gaz’s 13lb 13ozs didn’t quite match up to the newts’s *regulation paid for* 14lb 12ozs. And that’s BEFORE theft deductions!

    As for yer VACUUM, as you don’t own a hoover, I’d have thought that would be brimming full. When I popped round the other night the place was spotless and 1 vacuuming of chez Wez would fill the biggest vacuum bag ;0)

    Anyway, you ought to be congratulating Bov not Cockus. With second place, 9 fish and 11lb 8ozs in what is a notoriously large, wild and difficult place to fish, in what must be deemed as his last year as a ‘beginner’, Bov fished tremendously well. However… Gaz did mention that he had to act as gillie and net all of Bov’s fish. Apparently Bov’s a bit shy of landing his own fish, something he’ll have to master to become the true LADYBOWER CUP CHAMPION! (I wouldn’t dare let Willie net one of mine, he holds the net a foot above the water surface and expects the ‘troot’ to jump in the fcuker! Nor come to think of it would I want Gaz, judging by the performance with his first fish of the trip on Friday evening!!) ;0))

    Quality not quantity??
    Lets say England lost a football match even though they scored 3 goals and the other team scored 2, cos the other team had a better percentage of posession in the second half?

    I didn’t realise it was on weight as well…
    If I caught 3 small fish, and you caught one big one, you’d win cos it would weigh more?? I’d say thats slightly unfair.
    There should be bets for first catch, biggest fish etc. but the underlining factor should be, er, catching fish.
    I thought thats what fishing was all about…

    What you on about //\//umpty? If you’re in a fishing match and the bloke next to you catches 1,000 minnows that weigh in at 10lb and you catch 1 mirror carp that weighs 10lb 1oz you win. Number caught doesn’t enter the equation. Never has done, never will do. We may have the First - Biggest - Most side bet, but that’s all it is, a side bet to the match competition of top weight.

    See you Thursday for my Premiere tutorial. Mind you, Gaz said what you asking him for, he can’t even get text inside a speach bubble! :0) Quite witty for Gaz.

    Indian? I’d be lucky to get that you tight gitt.
    Why do you think I don’t pop round to fix your PC??
    All I got last time was a sandwich!! Still, I suppose thats the hospitality you’d expect for FCR.
    I’m ready for the sumptuous* extravaganza that is the Newton Lesuire Group.
