Well done. Any tales to tell Chockie Monster.......anything you could have/wished you'd done differently? How many/what lines did you fish - 6 or 3 basics?

Were the weights lower on the 'grassy bank' section due to the chill factor/less cover in that area?

Do you expect it to be harder in the morn, fishing it two days on the trot, or will todays feed have a positive impact?

8 no shows also?

Better shut up now - starting to sound like that Magnus Magnusson bloke now

I could have fed a little bit less and caught a few more fish short, i could also have taken my time with shipping fish back because i was expecting pike trouble i went a bit mad.

I think something has gone in there, it was a funny colour and covered with what looked like oil

It's 19.23pm and no day 2 results yet. Did Ratbag draw favoured 131 and is currently drinking his winnings?
