Stranger things have happend i once hooked a jack pike that took my tutti frutti pop up after i just cast out on the drop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil dalts Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I had a catfish like that, took a pop up on the drop, flat rodded me then travelled up the opposite margin, pulled a branch in (i kid you not) then snapped 18lb syncro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spr1985 Posted May 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) Cheers chill I still smile to myself when I think about it 😁. And it gets better.....few hours this afternoon/evening and I've been at it again 😁 Started off with a greedy bream followed by a 23lb 8oz common then came a 14lb 12oz common and ropes it off with a tinca of around 3 or 4lb (didn't weigh it, just appreciated it 👌🏻) so a happy scott 😁 Edited May 12, 2017 by spr1985 Add pic yonny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigewoodcock Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 I will let phil tell you all about his success this week. I'll just add that he fished his socks off and got his rewards! I struggled with no fish in front of me and no chance of a move. I did have a few out there on the first day and managed to trip a couple up. phil dalts, spr1985, androoooo and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

androoooo Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 I only managed the one, couldn't really make the most of the swim as could have done with maybe an extra 30 yards or so closer to the far margin. Phil really did have a great session though. gagnaccarp, yonny, muftyboy and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
