What a murky tail. Getting a bit deep now further east too with some silly Environment Agency trout bass-ically all at sea as he quite shellfishy opened the floodgates so the water Oused out making waves ...utter shower really and should get an early bath ...I say on your pike mate!
This has left many stuck between a rock and a hard plaice with some poor soles perched on the edge with others further down stream a tad short of bridging the gap. Need to float some better ideas more in scale to turn the tide and come at it from a different angler.
