Muddy Banks 16-3-13

I cannot believe how muddy it was today.I set the brolly shelter up and started with a ledgered herring and a pat rigged perch.After moving the baits every hour i decided to change the pat rig to a pop-up ledger rig.The day comprised of a little rain and a touch of hail,that played havoc with the delks.I changed the herring rod to a full lamprey.I was taking a leak and the lamprey rod decided to drop back,i struck and was in,felt good till it came up and was yet another jack.It was at 1pm run,hopefully time for another.Well i waited and my next run came at 3pm,a drop back and struck,nothing.I decided to pack up at 3-30,i had to be home to get ready for an 18th birthday.Tight Lines
