Gone fishing

[framey]

So I am actually going to venture out tomorrow for the first time since they stopped us going at the beginning of the last lockdown 

Not actually feeling it yet either hopefully it changes when I get there…

When you get on the bank it will all make sense mate 👍

ive gone through stages of not feeling it but the bug always comes back. Recently I’ve been hunting bass on the beaches, it suits my current lifestyle as I can get out for a few hours rather than doing an overnighter. A change is as good as a rest sometimes. It’s not been going to badly…

Nice bass

And that alone made it a success 😉

It always makes sense once you’re there pal, wherever it is, whatever you’re angling for 👍

I'm going tomorrow morning, went today and did some work at the lake and snuck some bait in, they were eating it by the time I left, I am excited now 😱

Good luck Elmo 🤞🏼

I'm off today until Friday. I was supposed to be going to Redmire, but dog sitter let me down, (not necessarily a bad thing), and seeing how weedy Redmire is at the moment put me off, so it is over to the syndicate lake. 

 

Plenty of pellets, maize and boilies in the gear, along with the dog food and tackle. 

Really not sure how to approach the lake as sitting and waiting for the fish to come over bait has not really worked. 

Finding them in 40acres of very weedy water can be tough, swans, tufties and coots make life harder

Drones are banned, 😂😉

Apparently someone used one and in doing so upset the gentleman who lives in the Hall overlooking the lake. 

Rules are tight, no remote control boats, no boating bait and hookbaits out, boats only to be used to free weeded fish, but only if there is someone else on the lake.

How did you get on?

Couple of tench. 

It's a difficult water, maybe 120 carp in 45 acres, add the wind, swans, coots, tufties and weed, every fish is earned. 

Got wiped out by swans and drifting blanket weed a couple of times.
