So @bbcweather predicting 1000+mph winds in Hampshire today. Don’t think I’ll bother with an umbrella or hat today then. Ha

43lbs 13oz… new PB and 1st ever fish over the magical 40 mark. The absolute cherry on top of a session that included 5 other fish over 30 too!! The planets truly aligned for me!! Still smiling now… ha

When you realise you have your first ever 40+ carp in your landing net!! Best feeling ever!

Well what utter guff that match has been. Don’t lose was clearly the team instruction from Southgate. Lions lead by sheep… Nothing inspirational and nothing that any other team is worried about. England are cowardly. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

What a crock of shite that game was. Who thinks Gareth Southgate is getting the best from this team? Or is he part of the problem?

Think I’ve won the lottery. Got access to a new (to me) lake. 15+ acres. Loads of 30s… handful of 40s and chance of a 50+. Lake doesn’t even have a name. Only 3 or 4 anglers fishing it. Holy fuck! Shit… thank you god!!

Happy with this one interrupting my breakfast at 9am! 32.2 of Cambridgeshire mirror. Yay!!
