Bailiff's Diary: w/e 2nd September 2011
Whoa!! Blinding week, after an unsettled start, the end of the week turned out really hot.
The fishing was good too, lots of quality fish this week including 2 different 60lbers from DL2. Spodded chops producing some good catches. Great group of lads, a couple moaned about the weed on 3, but all still beat their P.B’s. It’s good to be back after 3 weeks off.....!!
