ouchthathurt Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 My son just had a screamer, 19lb common on returning to my rods, it would appear that I’ve had a take and the line had dropped behind the roller on the buzzer so I didn’t hear a thing! The line came back shredded with an empty hook! can’t win them all I suppose elmoputney, kevtaylor, crusian and 4 others 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracking fish though, wish I had some day time shots of it. It was a shambles from the get go, batteries died in the head torch so was playing it while holding a small lantern light with my teeth 🤣 amazing fight 👌 Hopefully catch it again some time on a day session 👍 commonly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevtaylor Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 Just back from 3 nights on Kingy Sunday till Weds, was tough going as always, tried the margins, out in the middle, bottom presentations, adjustable zigs but not a touch, then a sighting on Tues afternoon meant another change and some jungle warfare. I got done on the last night but reset the rod early morning and when the sun came out late morning I managed a 2nd take having to jump down from the tree and run in fully clothed and wade out to fight my prize. First time I've jumped from a tree to a take, and being right at last knockings made it a mega buzz. 28.10 of old knarly mirror, perfect!

elmoputney Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 19lb7oz of rudd and a few nice roach in 5 hours that was my daughter fishing, I just unhooked and did the bait, there were some clonking roach and rudd caught today, she came 3rd overall and won the £10 for being the kid that caught the most, I lost something that felt quite big and heavy in the night, got it all the way back and it done me in some pads after weeding me up a good few times. I want to pretend it was a catfish so it doesn't hurt as much. We had a nice time though, bit rushed last night as we didn't get there til gone 6pm as my other daughter fractured her wrist, rods went out nice, went right downhill after for me lol but we had a really nice time and packed up this evening after having a bbq, all my kit is wet and dirty though, going to have to sort that mess out tomorrow 😭😳 commonly, kevtaylor, B B and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevtaylor Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 With the intention to fish 2 nights this weekend from Saturday - firstly a look around Bluebell lakes, but too busy in the area I wanted then onto my 3 syndi lakes but again the areas were taken and whats left uninspiring, rather than make do I decided to go home and try Bluebell again the next day. That worked and I got in the swim I wanted for 24 hours. Late afternoon I spotted fish coming in and out of the bay and after an hour or so I was away, going in fully clothed as there's just not time to faff about with waders in this situation. Landed a nice common at 28.14 and managed to get self takes without anyone noticing, as those nearby had gone to collect their takeaways - result. 9pm the same rods off again, this time a 24 mirror. I reeled that rod in at midnight as I was down to my last set of clothes and put it back out at 6.30. Sadly the morning was chilly and as a result they didnt come back in time for another bite before I left, but I was treated to the sight of serious feeding going on out in the middle between 8-11am. Hindsight I should have left the rod out all night, but cannot complain another good trip. commonly, ouchthathurt, yonny and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a nice trip out.
