commonly Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 I've got the green light for an overnighter tomorrow! Due to financial reasons I won't be renewing this ticket next season, so I've got a couple of trips to to try & hook one of my target commons. Any suggestions to maximise my chances on a quick overnighter?? As I'm writing, I'm already kicking myself for not having brought some maggot!! Eerrrggghhhhh! gazmc, Dave Hedgehog and buzzbomb 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

commonly Posted December 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Had an eventful night... I took my 7 year old son. We had a nice afternoon, burgers, little fire in a bbq to roast marshmallows. He was sick at some point, so at midnight when the pike rod went screaming off, I had a little extra in my sliders!!! Nice scrappy pike, launched itself out of the water a couple of times. Had fun & games disgorging the trebles, he did not like my long forceps in his mouth. I thought it best to recover & release him. I'd say he was a mid double. Usual interference from the swans & tufftys this morning, but sadly no carp.

muftyboy Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 I managed around 15 perch at the weekend in 4 hours fishing. Biggest probably pushing 2lb but a very good average size around the 1lb Mark. 2 guys fishing opposite were using live baits and had some crackers. One of them looked absolutely huge from where I was and actually heard him say the weight , 3lb 10oz. I walked around at the end to have a little chat and they said there biggest was only 2lb 2oz. Obviously trying to hold a bit of info back. commonly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
