Here's my late night addition to this thread. I managed to get there on time, along with my dad, and initially met Alan T., Issy, Urlybird, and Stufish (sorry I didn't get to chat to you at the end). Fortunately, I saw Midi on his journey out to the point area for a brief time (hope you got on well, you deserve a lot of credit for all of your help; many thanks, mate). Anyway, we set up a mile away from everyone else to allow for the latecomers (not many arrived), and my infamous dodgy casting. We had a slow day of just a handful of small codling and a dab, until late in the ebb a 3lb 2oz codling - which sets a new PB

! Later we got to compare results, with Alan T. showing what class will do. Thanks to all we met, each a true gentleman and very good company, and I hope to see you all in the near future.
