I have to mention the stunning capture of this 83lb 8oz catfish by David ‘Pooch’ Newsham on tuesday night. Pooch was fishing with me after helping out down at the lakes during the day, and picked up this beast just around sunset.
I had a run too but unfortunately the fish came off - to be […]
Well, it’s been a long time since i got out on the banks. After taking most of November December and January off for various reasons I finally started getting out a little in February in preparation for my trip to Morocco. The idea was to give myself some confidence, and this came in the perfect […]
As you might have guessed, not too much to report!
Due to uni and other commitments i only got to fish another 4 nights - but all arriving after dark and leaving at sunrise.
Managed 1 more at 21lb 14oz, and then lost another 3.
Still, better than kipping indoors!
Despite the previous night’s success, the few hours i fished this evening were a total blank - not even a beep, nor a hedgehog.
There are still fish showing, and i think perhaps it’s time for a wee change…
A fantastically clear afternoon, led to an equally clear and beautiful night. In between, exactly in between as it happened, this 28lb 10oz carp took off with my Shellfish boillie and fought hard all the way in to the net. Although that was my only Carp of the session (alongside a couple of Bream), it […]
With a long day at university looming, i only fished a few hours into darkness tonight. As it turned out, my only action was a series of bleeps on my left hand rod. Being the coiled spring, ever-ready-for-action sort that i am, i quickly struck the rod, only to find a rather sheepish looking hedgehog […]
Now the season’s finished I’m camped out on our ‘Rouge’ lake for a couple of weeks, fishing as much as possible in between work and uni. Got started last night with this lovely 16lb 4oz Mirror.
(Finally got a decent pic, after a few…ahem…technical difficulties with the new camera)
Caught at sunset on Essential baits Shellfish B5, […]
It’s been a bit of a lean spell in terms of time on the bank for me over the last coupe of months. In September i started a course at the local university to improve my French, and this has meant that any free time has been spent with my head in a dictionary and […]
