Indian rides to the front again, well done Kev you look to have the winter magic touch.
Richard Cooke also haveing a consistent winter, well done.
Looks like it was hard work for everyone else.
Thank you for turning out, supporting the club and league and sticking it our in the cold day.

what tactics worked, bread maggots, or pellets? was it the new fish shoaled up or a few larger willows specimans to build the weight up?

Great to see Jack and Mike out blowing the cobwebs away.

Started on tip alternating between bread and corn, nothing, zilch not even a liner. Dobbed bread around stick ups with same result. Fished pole at 7m with maggot and had F1 and a skimmer then nothing. Last hour n half decided to use a very small cage feeder and single maggot looking for silvers, had another 2 F1's and a skimmer. I had Steve in same bay and fish had def done the off from this area. Neither new stock or smaller fish fed.
