Changes To the Blog Format.

I have made some changes to the blog format, most noticably I am only going to be reporting the bigger or more noticable fish i,e, a big Perch, Specimen Carp, Roach, Bream etc. I am no longer going to report every fish we catch as roach can come too fast and furious to keep up with, as can skimmers and other silver fish. I am sure you will be able to understand my decision.

The idea

So here it is, the technical specs to simons on the bank blog. I shall be chroniciling the nitty gritty of simons posts. The date, location and place on the water. Sunrise, sundown and midday temps, Wind direction, speed and chill factor. The tackle and rigs used (with piccys). The bait and presentation method, depth and distance fished at aswell as baiting frequency. The times the runs came at and the fish themselves.  I will be using a base template to make all the posts easy to follow.
