i know what you mean mate,iv had a long running bet with a mate that puts in serious hours on the bank although most of the venues leave a lot to be desired in truth,he has only just won his full english cooked breakfast payed for by me on the strenth of an english thirty caught about month ago

Yeah thats the one fella. Fooking long time coming mate I can tell you. 1st time on the venue this year,1st cast-after waiting for the alarms I forgot,and bang! biggest in the lake,love it. Tight lines mate,just waiting for the thaw meself. Edited to say~ i didnt see it mate,I thought it was a twenty and cranked it in,wish I`d taken longer but then you run the risk of it dropping off(barbless)

my bullet hole would of been pounding if i had that on barbless,mine was micro barb but still makes a big differance.

I bet they love you on that lake getting her in first chuck.

we might be waiting for a while for the thaw the met office reckons another batch of freezing whether i think.

any way good luck when it does thaw mate.

tight lines.
