It went 27.06, backed up by a 23.04 torpedo shaped mirror (I'll post a pic in a sec).

Normally in spring I'd be using the S2's as singles or using zigs but on this occasion I had the opportunity to bait up the day before so wanted a matching hookbait. As soon as I arrived in the morning I knew it was going to happen, plenty of fish in the spot.

carpepecheur Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 The good thing about crayfish is they make VERY nice eating. I make a crayfish bisque to die for. I put out traps whilst prebaiting the night before a session and then collect them at the end of a session. Today I had a surprise catch. commonly and 760 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpepecheur Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 Here it is called a couleuvre but basically it is a grass snake. At least I hope that is what it was. I am told that if they have round eyes they are safe - if they have slit eyes you are already too close! Either way I feel very uncomfortable when they are about.

I saw a grass snake swimming across my lake the other week, now if I am in that area I am convinced there will be adders around in the long grass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
