End of Year Fish LCL and Stats 30th December 2007
Decided to go again before the end of the year. Arrived and set up at 1030am on Fox Maggot feeder to size 20 / 1.7 lb hook link on Peg 16 - fishing to the right hand side of the island, Slow sport but getting the Odd Roach, went down to size 22 and 1lb Hook link. Had a small Perch of about about lb - whilst playing it softly, softly on the light link - it came in close and made a dart for the weed on the left - Felt a bit heavy thought had it weeded but when i looked at the location of the line it was out in front of me. A jack Pike had taken it - I managed to hang on for a minute, by which time I had 10 spectators -A family out fro a walk getting all excited but alas I was not able to to provide them with a banked fish as the inevitable happened - the hook link snapped.
Kitted up again back to size 20 - within 1/2 hour had another good take - Felt like another Perch indeed it was and a nice one too !
Went 2lb exactly - 2ozs short of my personal best. The photo here does not do it Justice - The colours of the stripes and Fins was beautiful.
Recast and had another - slightly smaller at 1lb 12 ozs. Not a bad way to end the Year. I carried on until it was too dark to see the tip had a few more small roach an finished off with 1 1/2 oz Perch.
