two mens story of fishy exploits

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 .

final fish came at 2pm . a tiddler of 4lb 2oz , another tench .

no bream as of yet .

saturday 21/3/09

me and simmo were up at the crack of daft oclock .

hit the water at 6am ( dunno why ? the fish dont get up till 8 )

two carpers were fishing the grass bank where we like to fish from so we hiked into the woods .

dropped into a peg we have never fished before so it was a suck it and see session .

set up 2 rods each i set up a 3d boillie on one and a vision baits liver garlic sausage pop up on the second rod .

simmo went for 3d on both .

at just turned 9 i had the first run of the day . tench again at 6lb 4oz .

about half 9 simmo got one at 6lb 12oz .

after a 3 hr wait i binned the vision bait ( try it again next session ) and switched to popped up fake corn .

the bites came in quick succession then .

a tench on 3d at 6lb 3oz , a very nice bream ( first of the campaign ) at 6lb 7oz .

and then another bream ( on the corn ) at 5lb 13oz .

there may not be huge numbers of fish but they are all BIG .
