Nice bass! What was the weight Goatee?

Sorry did not weight it. I used to weigh everything for the inter county comp on the other forum and have now got out of the habit!

No worries, just wondered what it went, always hard to tell from photos

Well done nice report , have you thought about lengthening the leader or even use a tapered leader, some might suggest braid all the way through. Still having said all this, you are catching and landing, so well done again.

I've got problems with my finger/thumb joints Goateeblank,and found fingerless gloves better for fishing then full gloves

Yes I find fingerless work quite well. Got a snowbee neoprene pair with hard pads to stop hooks going through etc and they work quite well.
Only £15 when I bought them, not sure what they are now.

Not that I especially suffer with cold hands when fishing but can be a bit painful when it drops below zero

It’s these I think. Cheaper than I thought

Cheers. The leaders are quite long which is good if l have to lift something worthwhile from a pier. Been thinking about braid. The eyes on my main rods are pretty small which does not help. Prefer a straight leader, but the knot is a pain. I had more problems on Sunday as the tide was pushing in harder. All food for thought!
