i new i was going to have one before the end of the night. The rain started to get more heavy at 21.15pm So with time running out i started to put my stuff away laying the rods on the grass at 21.35pm the right hand reel started to peel line i was in and after a nice slow plodding sort of fight the mirror was in the net.
It was an old friend of mine it was the last fish i had out of MK last year and it was my 1st fish of this year how mad is that!! I was excited to get this one on the scale's as i was told that he had been out 2 weeks before at 31-12 which would have been my first one past 30lb plus To my dismay it went on the scales at 30-08 o well i was still over the moon another 30lb fish under my belt and made the effort of getting soaking wet all worth it.

Since that fish things have not been going that well on my syndicate i have not had a fish out of there since the 9th may. Its a bit harder this year with the weed being so aggressive But we are going to plod on and try and get something that i have never had before and that's a linear. The pursuit of one has started.
Till next time thanks for taking time out to read this.
