Think you'll find most commercials fished badly this weekend too (unless you drew on a few like me on saturday

).

Hail, snow, strong winds and rain aint exactly good. Its the London marathon today - wasnt there a heatwave this time last year???

Bridgewater canal open (Lower Kersal AC) sun 20th april 27 fished

The Bridgy fished its nuts off today ::) for the first 30 minutes

What a day!!! a regatta of 62 boats and barges (a Tri-Cast Highfield anorak counted them) had their annual outing today on our match length aswell as a university rowing practice which resulted in utter chaos for 4 and a half hours together with constant rain and very cold temperatures this was probably the most miserable match i have fished in a long time !!

1st J Cantello Tri-Cast Highfield 3.4.8 peg 212
2nd R Gardom Sensas Trafford Angling 1.14.8 peg 204
3rd A Morris Lower Kersal AC 1.10.8 peg 206
4th K Power Tri-Cast Highfield 1.10.0 peg 210

James caught a bonus big skimmer of 1lb 8oz along with small skimmers and small roach on squatt. I am thinking of changing my user name to seconditis
