been out today 3 rods out , worms on one , a maggot rig on another , and a roach head on the 3rd rod .......not a snifferoo...
caught a shed load of roach on the float rod but the roach were all to big for baiters .......hay ho ....lovely big deep quarry venue where i had a nice snigg a few seasons ago ......
