Nice one Tat shame about being pipped on the 50 ?
 
Thats a bummer missing out by couple ounces for 50 notes and missing the big one too. But doing well in the table,just a matter of being constant now and scoring every match.
Looks a nice place to fish as well.

Hard luck with the payout Paul you deserved more.Stayed at Ladram Bay a couple of times and fished the same marks as you but in the Summer months.Mackerel and Wrasse for me.Did try the whole length of the beach with lures more than once for the Bass but to no avail.Nice club for a drink and entertainment when the day is over.
