J+B Tackle Winter series

These are the final
twelve but who ended up being the J+B champ 2009...
On
29th March 2009, we hosted the J+B tackle winter league final and I would just
like to say a big thank you to all that attended and a special thanks to Paul
Dunn and Steve Goring for all their help organizing another great series,
however the smart ones amongst you will notice that there are 13 anglers
photographed above and in a 12 peg final this means there is one impostor, I
will help you out front row blue Hat that's him (Chris Beaumont), the
legendary sandwich maker that didn't qualify last week...

The Top Four Left to Right, Mick Parrini, Ricky Martinelli, Jason Venis,
Mickey Neal....

1st. Jason
Venis, J+B Tackle,
peg 16 26-12-0
So it was the J+B tackle boss that finally finished the series a champion
of his own competition, a great victory for a great chap that has not had the
best of time after the sad loss of his dad Brian Venis a popular man that was
taken suddenly last summer, Jason has had this peg a couple of times this
series and soon started to get some response from his corn approach tight to
the far bank, bad weather the day before with ice and rain water topping up
the levels was not going to help but this was the last chance to make it count
and Jason fished it positive with the corn and it paid off a treat, £170 in
the kitty soon put a smile of the face of Mr.Venis
2nd. Ricky Martinelli, Roman Urn,
peg 6 24-04-0
Last years champ nearly made it two out of two Ricky fished tight to the
far bank with corn and fished maggot in the open water for the roach just to
fill in the gaps, the previous days weather had put the fish down and keeping
busy was the way forward for the big man Ricky, when the scales got to Rick he
said " I don't mind not winning this year just as long as I get to sample
Beaumont's sandwiches"
3rd. Mick Parrini, J+B Tackle,
peg 14 18-00-0
4th. Danny Fells, Roman Urn,
peg 24 13-12-0
5th. Yorkie, J+B Tackle,
peg 19 13-08-0
6th. Kevin Hodges, J+B Tackle,
peg 8 12-12-0
Its at this point I would just like to add Chris Beaumont did not bring the
sandwiches, cocktail sausages or the cheese and pineapple skewers, so a big
thanks to you Chris for not bringing the grub you tosser, thanks lads for your
support this winter see you next year and that includes you as well Chris.

Next week is the battle
of the champions and all the non qualifiers have chosen Chris Beaumont to do the
sandwiches as he failed to make the grade in his last week of trying, rumour has
it he is a better sandwich maker than an angler so the grub should be good
boys....
1st. Micky Neal, J+B Tackle,
peg 9 30-08-0
The second victory of the series and he is looking to be a real contender
for the final next week, fishing across to the far bank Mick snared a few 3lb
carp to boost his weight above his nearest rival Dave Davis.
2nd. Dave Davis, J+B Tackle,
peg 6 26-08-0
Another close match as the sun shone, the bites weren't as prolific as you
would expect on a beautiful spring day, Dave caught early and really struggled
for the second half of the match, carp across to the far bank.
3rd. Steve Goring, J+B Tackle,
peg 24 26-06-0
4th. Paul Dunn, J+B Tackle,
peg 21 24-00-0
5th. Sid Dean, J+B Tackle,
peg 8 23-00-0

peg 11 22-00-0

Round three and time is running out as the last qualifier is next week ...
16 Fished
1st. Steve Goring, J+B Tackle,
peg 9 23-00-0
Already qualified for the final in two weeks time Steve is just collecting
victories just for fun now, not only is he doing the business on the Sunday
series but he is more than holding his own in the Saturday matches as well,
Steve fished across to the far bank with pellet where a carp or two pulled the
float under.
2nd. Micky Neal, J+B Tackle,
peg 6 21-06-0
Micky has drawn bang on and fishing corn the bites were slower but the fish
are generally bigger and this placing secure's Mick a place in the final in two
weeks time.
3rd. Ricky Martinelli, J+B Tackle,
peg 1 18-10-0
4th. Danny Fells, J+B Tackle,
peg 12 17-04-0
5th. Mick Parrini, J+B Tackle,
peg 23 13-02-0
6th. Terry Rumsey, J+B Tackle,
peg 24 13-00-0

Round two in the wind and the rain doesn't put Davis off his game...
16 Fished
1st. Dave Davis, J+B Tackle,
peg 6
43-12-0
A victory and in style as well and on a day you just didn't want to be
fishing driving ice cold rain and wind like no other, Dave had this almost on
his back so presenting the bait was almost bearable, down the inside edge for
those bonus carp, pellet and corn.
2nd. John Carter, J+B Tackle,
peg 21 21-15-0
John has let the angling slip for his new love of shooting but he fancied
the league and in his first match in months this man shows that its like riding
a bike you never forget, not a bad peg this time of the year but the wind would
have been directly into his face making conditions tuff, small carp tight to the
far bank and inside edge.
3rd. Yorkie, J+B Tackle,
peg 17 19-07-0
4th. Ricky Martin, J+B Tackle,
peg 20 17-01-0
5th. Mick Parrini, J+B Tackle,
peg 14 12-11-0
6th. Paul Dunn, J+B Tackle,
peg 11 11-07-0
Results for 1st March 2009
Round 1
Big Rick was last years champion so he is keen to defend his title but the rest of those J+B Boys have got there own idea's, last years bread secrets are out so what will he do this year the big fella, a Big thanks to Paul Dunn and Steve Goring for organizing the event again this year.....

1st. Steve Goring, J+B Tackle,
peg 9 32-10-0
4mm expander pellet almost to the far bank was the game plan for Steve but
it only started to produce in the last hour, carp up to 3lb makes Steve the
first qualifier of the series, way to go tall bloke.
2nd. Jason Venis, J+B Tackle,
peg 16 17-08-0
The J+B boss also gets the qualifying out the way as soon poss on one of the
better winter pegs on the venue, pellet and corn tight to the far bank, little
carp.
