About 2 from last in my section mate, only fished the for the first hour and had 4lb 2oz, shame as there was a ruck of fish over there with quite a few proper fish mixed in amongst, good draw on the day but fate conspired against me!

Tough mate - flying in that first hour - hope you draw tomorrow to make amends

snapped about 3 inches off the end of the female section......was the worst place it could have gone really.........was agony, watching it in slow motion as the rollor just teatered over the edge of the canal before dropping on top of it.

And then that woodhouse gave me a pole that resembled a 10 meter bamboo stick with one top kit containing 2 inch of 20 elastic!
