Pleasure Fish LCL 27th September 2008
The belated summer weather drew me away from the Saturday afternoon Football on TV to the lake for a couple of hours for a rare pleasure fishing session.
Suzy (my Jack Russell) stop off at Big Johns for ½ pint of Red maggots en –route.
I made my way to Peg 16 and Cyril Boozy who was over on peg 13 shouted across – “did I forget the house as well” a comment regarding that I had loaded my Match Gear on the trolley- but I had not – when I started to set up I noticed I had left my feeder Arm at home – Dohh ! Especially as my tactics was going to be Small Method and hair rigged Sweetcorn on the feeder for Bream / Small Carp and maggots on the Pole in the margins for Roach /Perch I already had a problem. Quickly resolved though as I was able to lay it down on the ground with a post acting as the rest and the bait runner on.
I had a good 3 hour session the weather was perfect sunny with little or no wind. I had lost of good Roach on the pole in the margins to the right – In the meantime Cyril has successfully landed a nice 13lb Mirror ( don’t know what bait he was using.) and he called it a day after that.
It was around 6.45 pm when I just answered a call from the wife whilst still landing Nice Roach that I would be home in ½ hour that I had the Feeder reel scream I lifted in this was something BIG and it was making its way to the Lilies / weed in the out of bounds area. I had no option but to hold on this rod had never had such a big bend in it but alas once in the weeds that was it the 5lb snapped!
Oh well time to pack up then, but I have a ¼ pint of maggot left so I up the feed rate on my spot and continued with the Pole attack there – I had being using Size 16 to 5lb line with Double red maggot. Dusk was on its way – as I had what I though was Perch Bite – lifted in but the elastic started to pull out – this was a carp! I played with my four sections – didn’t need to put any more sections on – good job as they where still in the bag! A good 10 minutes Fight and it was in the net – Black Mirror tipping the Scales at 10 1/2lb – that will do what a way to finish what was truly a pleasure session. – pack up and home for a shower dinner and the TV and a few beers!
Suzy was good as well sits patiently.
