I might just get geared up and have a go myself if I go there again 8-)
I can lend you a bag of groundbait
I fished a taped up feeder with 50/50 swimstim and marine halibut ground bait with hair rigged double corn on the hook to start off. I had some skimmers and one hell of a carp which took a good 50 meters of line out. I was just gaining some line back when the hook pulled

Next cast out the feeder shoots out into the lake not attached to my line

I think its time to buy some new line ::)
I then fished my 5 meter line for the rest of the match, into which I fed the rest of my ground bait, 4 tins of corn and 2 bags of pellets. I used Pellet and corn on the hook.
I was having to hold the pole 2 handed at 5 meters it was that windy but I still managed to stick it out and catch lots of skimmers, roach and about 6 nice bream :)
I lost out on second to Conna but I was no where near him any way but managed to grab 4th on top of alot of other 30lb+ bags.
Every time we go to larford the weather is always crap. And on a Side note............
A certain someone said that they were gonna give me the biggest wobbly cheeks slapping ever.... All I can say is, Better luck next time Tinky
