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.
