It was back to the standard all day session today which meant that I was up and out of the house in time to arrive at the fishery around 6:30.
Upon arrival I unloaded the car and headed off to the back of the lake where I intended to fish today.
This is the waggler rod's swim:
This is the feeder rod's swim:
As I've stated in a previous blog entry it takes me about an hour from arrival to first cast. I usually set up the feeder rod first as I can cast it out and if the buzzer goes I am in a position to react straight away. Well that is exactly what happened today. The result was a nice carp of around 5.5 lb which had a liking for tutti fruitti boillies.
Due to this pleasant interruption I didn't make my other first cast until 8.05.
The next bite didn't come on the waggler as I expected but on the feeder rod. It was 8:05 and the culprit was a 2 lb tench.
An hour later and I'd bagged another tench of the same size on the same rod and bait.
Today's bait of choice on the waggler rod was strawberry flavoured corn. It wasn't until 12:05 that I managed to get my first fish on it. The culprit was one of the lake's bream.
From noon until 15:05 the swim went very quiet. I did catch though, the feeder rod chipped in with another tench and because I had switched from corn to meat on the waggler rod I landed a roach and another bream.
My last fish of the session came in at 16:05 and was another bream with a taste for meat. I then decided to cal it a day.
So after a great start the session went completely downhill. Still that's fishing and that's why we love it.
