two mens story of fishy exploits

went out on a session last thursday .

arrived at the lake at 5.30pm

it was as still as a millpond and there were fish rolling all over the lake .

the weed had really took hold i the pegs i wanted to fish , but one was clear from about 20yards out .

i set up the rods , fired out about 12 spods full of bait and positioned the rods .

one drop back bite all night was not boding well for a bag up se...

weve not been putting much on here , cos weve not been putting much on the bank lately .

the weather has got the fish spawning and as we all know , if theres a bit of the other on offer appitite goes out the window .

went this weekend , friday afternoon till sunday morning and four rods produced 2 bites and nothing on the bank .

two carpers next to us put 6 mirror carp on the scales rangeing from 16 to 23 lb .

better ...

i got two sessions in last week

tuesday i got out on the water ( no simmo , he was too busy )

got to the lake about half 10 ( school run ) to find someone fishing my favourite peg .

dropped in 2 down , rigged up , and fred out the boillies .

had my first run at 11.30 , a tench at 6lb on the button , nice fish , nice fight .

after a wait in the wind and rain i got another run on the right hand rod 4lb 8oz tench .

 ...

its monday 16/3/09

due to work commitments and weekends full of kid type stuff we have not had the chance to get out onto the water lately .

but with the weather as it is and a quiet couple of days ahead im thinking a trips on the cards

keep you informed .

anyone who reads this done anything ?

And here we go .

It started the usual way when im not working , up , take Sam ( stepson ) to school ,

down to Daz at Redfins tackle shop in Measham to buy the bait n stuff .

Finally ,after a return visit to home for my mobile we hit the water at 10am  .

The lake we fish is about 40acres with a couple of islands to aim at if you can cast 120yds or have a baitboat ( i cant do either anymore the back wont let me )

The wind was howling and it was tipping it do...

well its been ages .

we've had all types of weather , then no work , and then too much work .

but finally it looks like we can get back on the water .

thursday morning come what may we are going after the bream and tench .

the tackle's ready , the baits on order , and the tickets are paid for .

all we need is more warm sunny weather and we could have a stormer

pic's and video's to follow hopefully...

Tuesday 27th jan 2009 .

Well so far this year we have managed 3 outings , what with hail , sleet , and most of the water having a layer of ice on it it's been awful .

But in those 3 trips we've managed 3 Pike , nothing special , no monsters , but 3 decent fish all the same .

Got a couple of weekends off now but back to it with a vengance soon .
