where had the wind gone i'd got up before the alarm had gone off and yet heard no howling wind or gates banging quick coffee and away i didn't want to be late again 
a nice pleasant drive up all motorway and with a little early morning sun-shine very nice one of the lads had fished the stainy on the saturday as said the waves were that big you could of windsurfed from one end to the other 
After the draw i felt quite confident as i had drawn 187 not too far from where i was last time
The mud was still as bad but the wind had dropped choppy had draw the next section down so we had a catch up chat. Richie said on the website he wasn't bothering with B/J and fairplay it could go either way. my section had Sean Ashey Bicko again and a couple of the sensas thorne lads in it
Ear to the ground and had a noisy at the others around me and desided to take it easy on the bait.
I also thought the wind might get up as it started to get breezy well more blustery
my rigs had changed a little one hemp one caster and then .4.6.and a gram only because the lad above me fished a blinder for the small roachG/B canal 3000 sensas and canal noir plus soil
very little food contents and desided to put 3 balls in at 9m with 150ml of joker and 250 ml of hemp somthing the barnsley lads seam to doing 
and enough G/B and soil to make 6 balls on two lines one at 11 oclock and the other at 2 oclock Then i mixed another 4 balls this time with with 200ml of joker and 200ml of hemp plus a odd caster all went into 4 balls at 13m this line i wanted to leave for as long as i could then a few caster andhemp at 14.5m
The day was hard with a few very small roach coming out for a start with no one really running away with it .Choppy had caught some early fish on caster yet had not had a bite on bread which niether of use thought possible .i kept changing from line to line yet catching fish yet very small i couldn't find a way past .With choppy catching on caster i thought if nothing changes my best option would be to sit it out on caster .My 13 m line did throw up some better roach but once i'd caught a few they backed of
. caster was my only hope of catching a bigger fish Sean between us had a really good last couple of hours just better fish and put 10lb on the scales to win the section i managed 4lb 6oz choppy had 7lb 15oz for saying he had no B/J i thought what a great result 
shame the hemp never went we might of had a few moregreat venue
