And the result

Had an enjoyable 3hrs yesterday afternoon in the company of venue expert Steven Griffiths on the Fingerpost section.
Plenty of steady sport with the canal as usual throwing up plenty of questions regarding feeding and baits.
Finished up with 52 silvers which included a few 2 to 3 oz rudd/skimmer hybrids - it'll be encouraging when they grown on
They went 4lb 1oz and venue expert Steve put me to the sword with a 5lb 12oz net

Although the fish were a little finicky, Vaughan had a nice double figure net of silvers on Sunday

There were a few coming out today....

Member Pete Herbert reported 'Some cracking sport this morning, some clonking roach and perch and 2 nice bream'

Meanwhile half way along the common today, member Steve was also having a few. He reported he had '6lb of mainly roach my mate had 12lb, he had 1 tench ,1 big perch and a small bream plus some nice silvers'
David Bailey obviously didn't take this snap
