Here's a tip, it's half term week, you probably wont get on St Johns, so look at the other lakes and think minimal gear, PVA bags and move to where the people aren't and the fish are.
I'm always stuck with school holidays as my wife is a teacher. The good news is she retires this summer the bad news is she has arranged her leaving party for the same weekend of the Barbel fish-in on the Trent. I think I might look for a good divorce lawyer!
