Well......erm.........oh yeah. What a Wind tunnel.

My highlight of the day was seeing poor Bob on the next peg getting eaten alive by his brollie Image Image

I didnt fancy it this morning but I went along anyway as it wasn't raining. As soon as I got out the car the heavens opened, typical.
This is the shortest match I have ever fished......20 mins after the 'all in' I packed up :D

Fishing for me is supposed about 2 things, catching fish and having a laugh. I was having neither so I simply packed up. Glad I did lol.
As I walked back down to my car (walk of shame) I didn't see one happy face.
I hate the wind and that place is unreal.

Take the yellow stream all you like, I can take it Image Image

5lb odd won it, thats all I know. Well done that man Image

I had just got to my peg about 8.45am when I hear a motorbike Image

I looked up and there was this 15 year old kid coming along the footpath on a mini scrambler.
Bare in mind that its yellow stream down.......He is wearing a fake timberland jumper and jeans and thats it.
When I was on my way home Drynet said that the lad on the motorbike asked him directions to Birmingham Image Image

Done ok in the end on chopped worm had some nice roach, perch a small skimmer and a small tench weighed in just over 4lb, lost 4 big ones though Image. The last one snapped me with about 2 Min's to go. Think The second one was a big bream soon as tried to lift it up the hook pulled.
