Battle Of The East and West Marks !!!

As some of you are aware I will be taking on Pete 'aka Chichester pete' in a friendly 10 session ...BATTLE!!! Partly because Pete thinks I am bonkers walking as far as I do !!  But it's mainly to see how Pete's mark in the west compares to my mark further to the east ,over three months . Although this is just a bit of fun.... there is dire consequences for the loser! We are going to keep it as simple as possible and the points league system we have decided on will hopefully give a good account of how each mark has fished RULES OF BATTLE 1] A SESSION IS SIX HOURS LONG AND TO BE FISHED WITHIN A CERTAIN TIME FRAME OF EACH OTHER [YET TO CONFIRM TIME FRAME]. 2] WE MUST FISH THE SAME MARK EACH SESSION OR AS CLOSE AS ONE CAN GET . 3]  POINTS WILL BE AWARDED FOR THE FOLLOWING IN EACH SESSION   1 POINT ....... For each lb in weight achieved for the total bag  ,                                     example 16lbs 15oz =16pts   1 POINT ... Maximum for each of these

I had a long hard session this Saturday [22/08] with only a mackerel hitting the bait in day light but just as I was putting my tent away and the sun was going down I had a codling so stayed on for a couple more hours to see if another would show but just pout,poor cod and an eel were to be had .I also timed my walk back  from the camp perfectly to coincide with torrential rain !!! I ventured off Chesil for a weekend this month as a
