Photo really doesn't do this lump justice. A Layer pit common at 25.5, caught in the margins on a single pop-up on a ronnie, over a bed of hemp, sweetcorn and pellet, with a dash of calanus and hot chilli oil.

Yes 1st of the year, 7th night since mid Feb, hopefully more to come, time to push on!

Better picture....frommother day.

 

Alright strangers. Not been on here properly for a while as I've been putting 110% into a new job for the last 6 months, not to mention my daughter who just turned 1 year old. This week I managed to get on the bank for just the 2nd time since last August (!). Had a good'n that I thought you'd like!

Thanks mate ... turns out to be covid,  first time I've caught it .
These were my captures before I got ill 🤒 
30lb 12 oz on a 10ft zig 

And these 2 came from the same margin spot

Well , had 4 days planned at churn pool with 3 other mates arrived Monday feeling fine , but by Monday night was feeling like death warmed up sickness/ shivering/ aching all over.  So had to reel the rods in & they didn't go back out. back home now in bed wondering what a good session it could of been as I did manage to catch before the sickness kicked in . Managed to brake my run of blanks which I'm happy about , but I know it could of been a blinder ,just my luck at the moment it seems 🙈
