Very quiet, lots of weed coming through, my first time fishing the lower end of the court field stretch using halibut pellet over a hemp based ground bait, no bites. After a change of bait to spicy sausage boilie resulted in a 7lb barbel at last light.

A tough morning spend roving, fishes every peg of the stretch with nothing to show for our efforts. In the afternoon we decided to set up in a swim each at the top of the beat baiting little and often, fishing to the far margin making sure to hit the same spot every cast. Regular cast with pellet feeders turned out the be the winning method.

Will definitely be going back.
