I hadn't counted on there being quite such a chilly north-westerly wind today that kept me feeling uncomfortable all day. 

I kept changing tactics and baits looking for fish, and had just the three bites to keep me warm,  but a 100% hit rate with two (for me) whoppers and a beauty made it a great day.

1- Common - 10:30am- method feeder/halibut pellet - 3 rods out near overhangs- 9lb 2oz - good fight, took line several times
2 - Tench - 3:15pm - double maggot float fished less than 2 rods out - 4lb 12 oz - another good fight on lighter line and small hook. Unusually for Dobsons, no previous mouth injury so would have been perfectly kissable if it was not for a nasty tumour on its flank
3 - Common - 4:15pm - two small. soft, meaty boilies less than 2 rods out near overhangs - hauled it away from the overhangs then it was in net in no time before it worked out what was happening - 11lb 4oz
