BBC weather app predicts Hurricane Force Winds @ 15,314 mph this morning!! Think I’ll stay in and dry the washing inside.

Calm down Neil 😃 I’m with you on this….but Unfortunately a lot of fishermen are obsessed about size! And as plenty of old girlfriends have told me ‘size isn’t everything’ Being size obsessed is just being insecure! I still haven’t caught a river carp by design, but when I do, a carp of ANY size...
