Perry St Pond – League 9 – 26th July 2015
The penultimate round arrived and it was chucking it down, I loaded the car up and stuck my brolly in as well, I never normally take one as they tend to just get in the way but the wet stuff was showing no signs of stopping and I thought I could at least keep my bait dry.
