Slow, slow night which got off to a very fast start! Had one of the 8's on the bank within a couple of minutes of starting - hadn't even got my second rod out of the quiver when the alarm went off. Pity then, that my next bite was shortly after midnight! In truth I was really after trying to get a bream or even a tench from here - though in the end I had to make do with the mini flurry of activity between 0000 and 0200 culminating in the 9lber. No bites after 2 o'clock prompted an early pack-up and a few hours kip before a late brekkie at home...
