Today we hosted the 10 man Plymouth team, conditions were wet to start clearing later with a stiff West North Westerly breeze.
Temperatures were down a bit but it didn't stop the carp from having a chew.
Keith sat on peg 14 and proceeded to empty it on luncheon meat in the margins.
Richard drew on his favourite peg 10 and caught all of his fish next to the weeds on paste.
