What's you after Neil?

Pike , I’ve had loads of roach , dace and chublets for bait though . Had a pike hit my float twice and then take a roach but drop it and another dropped run . 
 

literally just had this 12.12 on a decent chublet as I was posting .

just up from Joe...fingers crossed we get a few as it starts to get dark

Well, hardest session I've had for a blank. River conditions weren't great to put it mildly. I've needed to get out as been work since Christmas and 50 days of rain. Had good company,some decent scran, learnt some stuff from Sean , got to test out my barbel bundle , know what bits and pieces I need to get together, and have returned with a great appreciation of my shower, bed and sofa lol.
