Words like slow don't quite do justice to the PAC's final access event of the season, fished on Cemex's Hook's Marsh fishery, near Waltham Abbey, Herts, over the weekend.
A hardy handful turned up for the two day event, with members allowed to bivvy on the bank overnight.
Just two fish were caught in the teeth of a north-easterly on Saturday, the best of them scaling 14lbs 2oz. That was two more pike than Sunday produced.
