Bailiff's Diary: w/e 3rd June 2011

Well it looks like the weather got to us a bit this week.

It was a slowish week, the unsettled weather proved difficult. The bait crushers (grinders) helped sticks and bags producing fish, a few grassies coming to the Zigs set at 3 – 4 ft. Plastic corn is still doing a few fish as well.

This weeks “Top Bombin” award goes to Tony Baker with 42 fish from DL2, but as ever I’ll start the report on DL1.
