Match at How end fishery near Bedford today. Horrendous blustery wind made it tricky. Luckily I had it on my back but everything needed battening down. Pole stayed in bag initially, just set up bomb rod and waggler rod.
First 3 hours were sparse with a few chub and carp on both methods.
Decided to try pole short and set it up. Fed chop worm and caster and the swim came alive. Too little too late, brief spells of carp and skimmers followed by flat periods. Probably caught most of my 16lb in the last 2 hours on this pole line.
Sitting at home now and my ears are whistling and my face feels windbeaten and a bit burnt. Enjoyed it nonetheless, better than staying at home....
How did you get on?
