Beer of luck guys 🎣

I got a Sunday night booked on vermuyden this weekend, I am really looking forward to a night out, not been for weeks😱😱 Get to try to my new rods and toys out too, so I'll probably blank 😁 But I am thinking of trying some radioactive sweetcorn ☢️🤔🤔🤔🤔

Off on a perch hunt this weekend. Got 48 hours from Friday till Sunday. I'll have a carp rod out also.

Well after 2 winters talking about zander fishing on Rutland we finally did it with just a week to go before close season. It was a very calm day which was good as it was my first time in a boat over very deep water, but you soon forget any nerves once the rods are out. For the first few hours we tried the vertical jigs, but with almost no drift it seemed a dead loss and I started feeling the cold and a bit like captain noddy! Late morning we travelled round a corner to a slight bay and tried the pike lures and vertical jigs again, no joy. We ate lunch then had another go before heading back to the initial area for the final couple of hours. This next go over the central ground was different as we had a light breeze and slight tow and straight away you knew that you had better presentation. On our 2nd drift I got a bang on the vertical jig whilst looking the other way, I couldn't believe it, then another bang so I hit it and slowly pulled it up, felt like a pike or decent zander and I was made up when a 5-6lb Zed hit the surface - that's a first for me! On the next drift my mate had a bang on his sleeper rod, then another and he lifted into another Zed, this one went 7 1/2 and was a PB - so a great day overall, brilliant to catch on a method you've not done before - can't wait to go again next year.

Predictive text!!! Was messaging a mate who owns a brewery earlier today lol . Best of luck guys 😁

Just put a few kilo of Bait on a spot at the estate lake, ready for an overnighter this Saturday 🤞

Well, the SJ3 arrived today. Can't believe how soft, light and warm it is. Absolutely amazing. They include a little stuffbag with it, I thought there was no way of getting it in there..... How wrong was I!! Needn't have worried about the size, it fits a treat. Thanks for the heads up Yonny, well chuffed.
