Before I get too involved in this I will be calling a few
venues the club lake, this is so that should I start getting a few (Unlikely)
it will be a little harder for people to figure out where I am actually
fishing. If you really want to know PM
me and I may tell you though J.
Anyway to the fishing, as usual my Friday night trip
started in London and ended by the lake in early afternoon, I moved my kit
through the gate only to be met by sparky and even as we met and had a chat I
could see it was going to be a rough one with gusty southerly winds forecast
and a lot of rain to come in the morning I sometimes wonder why we do it. Then I slap myself and crack on as there is
no better feeling than that rush of hooking into an unseen fish that you have
worked so hard to catch.
|I decided on a swim with the wind to my back that I have
fished before so I could keep the disturbance to a minimum, 11 wraps onto a
slit area on the back of some weed I dispatched two short stiff hinged rigs and
then tried to put about 80 baits over the area using the smallest spomb. I say tried but I had just swapped to a reel
with only one spool which was of braid on my marker rod so dropping the spomb
in nose first was troublesome to start. No doubt I will get used to it.
The night was uneventful on the fishing front, although I
did meet a new face and we got to watch some fireworks go off. During the
middle of the night the wind died down and I could hear fish crashing to my
left but at 3 am the wind picked up again and with it came the rain.
Come the morning I decided to move one of my rods to a
closer spot with a small pop up rig and a bag of oily pellets, this received a
drop back at about 11 am but I did not connect with anything. I will be back again soon and my dry spell
has to finish soon as there were around 4 fish caught in the morning and all of
them were from swims to my left!!!
Wadmill for my birthday next week and then who knows.
What would I do different?
Should have moved when I knew where the fish were
crashing. I keep saying it but I SHOULD HAVE MOVED.
