Aston again, I do fish other venues but this one is comfortable for me with not too much walking & flat from the car park to the pegs.
Not being able to fish long with my pole I thought I'd fish a small method to the far bank about 12 mtr across, it's not a method I've fished mainly because with only one hand I considered it too tricky to load the feeder but with the help of Preston's mould I thought why not.
I watched Nathan Watson in the Fishomania final on Sky
Mr Paul Hudson the BBC weatherman said no wind with just a light shower, that got me in the mood so car loaded I was set.
Bait today is half a bag of Yorkshire Baits garlic ground bait mixed at home, 2mm feed pellets, soft hooker Kopy Kat pellets, & a few grains of pearl Barley [for hook only]
My usual 4ft rig the reason I mostly use a 4ft rig is because the fish this time of year as we all know fish are easy to get feeding shallow, but for me it is just too difficult to feed

First job over soak the pellets to a mush then add the hemp to the tub till a milky mix achieved.
Plan is every drop to feed
Not really behind my back but to explain what I mean if you make a fist with your right hand & keep it closed that's my predicament, that's enough of my personal problems I won't mention it again.
My wife's my road manager as it were & after we load the car mostly by her effort she drops me off at Aston KJS pond 5. When I say drops me off what I should say is after she's taken my kit to my chosen peg helped me arrange my tackle where I want it I'm left till I want picking up. So all
