Never give up.

4 1/2 hours into a 6 hour match and l had not a lot in my net. The black death was busy guzzling pound and a half skimmers from my 50m line, only had 2 bream from it. My 30m line had produced 1 roach 1 blade skimmer and 2 perch for a total weight of about 6lb. At the weigh in the scales went round to 37lb 9oz. The last 90 minutes and my short line was solid. The last 15 minutes l just cast an empty feeder out, a nipped worm was catching 3 or 4 fish. Excellent fishing. Nearly packed up on the 4 hour mark.
Done by 7oz for the section.
58lb 8oz won it next to me.
What a venue Dol Y Gaer is.
Pen Y Fan in the distance.

And Pontsticcle res next to it

Thought you'd have learned that when you were next to me at Alders, Mick. Think you only had 3 fish after 2 hours, didn't you?
Ended up caning them in the last hour for 2nd place.

Well done pal. 58lb + is a lovely net of fish. Nice one. Looks a lovely place to fish. ?

Yes mate, Clive is regularly there if he doesn't have any river matches on.

How long did it take to learn how to spell the names mate? let alone pronounce them. They do look beautiful though.

I never made it to Pen Y Fan - she slapped me in the face as I made my approach!
