no worries Simps

fished on the river side pegs 1-26

was blowing hard down the lake making it near impossible to fish the pole.

waggler was out of the question due to the wind so ended up fishing cage/open ended feeder all day at about 40-50 yards where some carp had been crashing.

fished very hard with winner having 18lb odd - 2nd 17lb and a bit with myself 3rd with 13lb

lost a decent 10lber early doors which broke me off Image Image Image

2 casts later lost 3lb F1 which shed hook just as i was about to net it Image Image

ended up with 1 roach and 1 perch off the pole line some how and 3 small carp and 7 skimmers/bream all on worms on the feeder

will go back but only with a bit less wind Image Image Image

I would like to get back there to fish again.
Bloody wind always ruins the day, I would rather fish in the rain than the wind >:(
