Really looking forward to this
Can't wait for the morning.
Bit of a **** up on my part with bait, but fortunately despite the fierce ESC completive spirit, assistance is never far away. Cheers Slim, do I have to share my winnings now?

thoroughly enjoyed today...
nearly had a new "mr blank" before around 11am, while the rest of us were reeling them in as if the fish were surrendering !!!
Best for me was 8lb 7oz (from memory) and around 20 odd carp. Big Fish of the day and overall competion winner (up to me leaving around 6) was the trailsmeister !!! well done. try as we may, noone saw a double figure on poundage, so the goal for next visit is set!!!
Heatwave and rain today (not at the same time) but great fun....
pics to go up later !!!
thx to all attendees

Went to Stevenage to do a bit of shopping - just about everything I bought for Coz has got to go back (except the top I got for her 'outfit' for your party) the one thing I thought she'd hate she loves!! Kids!
The highlight of the day wasthrashing Ark at bowling on the Wii!
Still, sounds as if those that went fishing had fun!
Hope you are knitting whilst watching the TV!

No elusive double ..
Well what a day's fishing that was !! 
With over 20 odd carp smallest @ 4llb Largest @ 8llb 120z - 8llb 12oz - 8llb 12oz - 8llb 12oz Yes Ian i really do think that those scales of yours need re calibrating !!
My fish just got bigger & b i g g e r & your scales kept saying less & less
But I'm not bitter
Awesome day with great company , really thought that Kev was going to go home with the blankety blank cheque & pen for a while
Well done to the Nounsley "new boy" Trails for taking the money with a lovely 9llb specimen
There were some very big fish hooked but un fortunately not landed by most of us
still they will be there for next time
Was absolutely shattered last night , to much concentration
Till next time
Tight lines

Not 1 Double but 2 :)
Wahooooooooo - Sneaky day off today see me return to Nounsley 
Awesome fantastic day in near perfect conditions
Right arm aches now - One of those days - 20 Carp in the bag & half a dozen good size roach to boot as well - fished 9 till 5pm & had to be dragged away !!
2 Doubles one @ 10.6llb & the other @ 12.2llb
Took a lesson from YUM & Downsizerd everything , lighter line , smaller hook , smaller float , smaller baits - deff = Better bites no messing just ripping the line of the reel
What a day & im off work tomm as well
