Truly epic fishing!<\/p>\n<p>I caught anywhere between 4m and 13m out but mostly 6-9m. It was a ridiculously hot day and I fund myself wiping the sweat off my face numerous times with a mouldy towel just so I could see&#8230; but it was all worth it! A weight of 280lb was 2nd on the day and the whole venue fished really well.<\/p>\n<p>A match of a lifetime!
