MFS - Stafford Moor - Silvers Festival, 26th February 2018
Day 1 of the festival and a great night in the Lodge of Plenty with spirits high even though the weather wasn't looking it's best and set to get worse! Everyone gathered at the Tackle shop, Kenfish doing a great job of collecting the pools money and organising the rabble, then it was our leaders turn, Herbie. But of course before he could speak a rousing welcome of, "Herbie is our leader, la, la, la, la" was sung in his honour. The Draw Please not Woodpecker was my thought having spent two very fruitless days on there already. The peg came out of the bag, it was red which meant Woodpecker again! This time I'd be again on the high back although peg 17 in the corner which was a bit more sheltered from the wind. Neighbours for the day, Chris Martin and Pete Bailey. I mentioned to Pete I don't mind seeing him, but not on the next peg! At least I could observe his angling approach I thought to myself. Set-up I was not going to make yesterdays mista
