Derrick Amies - an interesting evening all round

We had high hopes we'd have a very different, even off-beat evening's entertainment when Derrick made the journey over from Gorleston to see us.

That proved to be spot-on, as the former record holder, who learned to fish the Broads with Norfolk legend Dennis Pye, got going.

He outlined his unique dumbell method, which he uses to systematically search out shallow bays for bigger fish - along with his thoughts on location and the kind of conditions that get them on the feed.

Thanks for a great evening Derrick - it gave everyone plenty to think about.

Speaker TBA for nedxt meeting, but it'll be at the Wm Burt in late January. Watch this space for details. And have a good Christmas - along with (hopefully...) a few pike.
