Hometown: Cheshire

Additional Info: With having a good talk with the bailiff before the session and finding out how the previous weeks have been for previous anglers and any hot spots, he pointed me in the direction of a marginal tree which he explained to bait little and often and present the rig carefully close to the reeds next to the tree and wait. It wasn’t long till the rod ripped off with this chunk on the end. Goes to show how important bailiff knowledge is, don’t be afraid to ask.
