Default A couple of firsts

Myself and Theboy25 are fishing our first competition tomorrow at Stocks. It's a friendly day with pairs fishing from the same boat trying to catch 10 fish. It's also our first time boat fishing so we're not expecting much from the day with regards placing in the match but are hoping to gain lots of experience regarding boat tactics etc.

Lovely place Stocks although the forecast isn't brilliant.

Good luck and remember to keep the sharp end pointing forward and that the Northern Shallows are called that for a reason.

Let us know how you got on.

Thanks guys. BK, We've fished Stocks lots of times from the bank so know all the areas and have noted from the recent reports that the dam area has been producing. Just going to enjoy the day and learn what we can

Will post our result on Monday
