Runners eat steak night before a race to avoid any "neccessary detours"

My quest for the monster perch continues....After numerous perchless sessions at my local, pretty, little pond I am giving up :mad: Found another venue on way home from work which has a good pedigree. I was planning prawns fished on the bottom,with loose fed red dead maggots every 15 mins...
