June's catch reports

[salokcinnodrog]

I ended May on a low, the phone issues, followed by a hookpull on a fish I'd been playing for a couple of minutes. 

However June starts today, and maybe with some more spawning to go. Let's hope it is a good month

Small common as I was packing up. Doesn't this time of year drive you mad. Spawning, not spawning, spawning, not spawning  🤷‍♂️🤣

Starting to feel like I'm on the wrong water again, think a long session on the reservoir is in order 👌

First thing this morning on a Nutty Bait pop-up:

29lb

@crusian 40metres, towards Scotty dog

 

 

I've just been through my pics and our Facebook group. I have caught it before at the same weight last year. It was one of the 2020 stocking

little mid double caught on a quick 2hr session.

Went to my local days only park lake and started at 4:30 and had 5 doubles to 18-8 by 10 O' Clock and packed up in time for tea at home. I boated out a fair bit of spod mix to the far bank trees to keep the bites coming.

Managed to get over to the syndi this week. Tough going but I managed to get on them eventually. Spotted 3 of the bigguns so was pretty excited. Had to wait until an hour before home to get the bite..... a little fully about 10 lb 🤣. Chucked it back without a pic.

Just on pack up I got another take.... lost it in the weed🤦‍♂️.

Such is life. Roll on next month for more punishment.

How you doing?

This session was a rather decent one, despite managing to leave my hookbait bucket at home with my medium Spomb in it. I spent an hour cursing and swearing as I used the small Spomb to put a bucket of maize and birdfood in.

The first night produced a tench of around 6lb on a straight out of the bag bottom bait, which somehow managed to go across the middle rod.

The 2nd night was quiet.

Last night around 11pm I had a strange occurrence on the middle rod, it pulled to the right, with what appeared to be a run, but there was nothing there, so I recast with a fresh stringer. At 3am I had the same thing happen again. I think that it was a goose or swan swimming through the line just in front of my rod tips, or a swan picking the hookbait up.

A couple of miscasts with stringers, but 3rd time lucky.

I was sat drinking coffee and eating breakfast when the rod went with a 22lb mirror, one of last years stocking, and a 10lb weight gain.

 Caught on a 360 rig with a meshed 15mm Nutty Bait pop-up with a stringer of 6x 18mm Nutty Bait boilies.

This morning I was starting to tidy up ready to pack up when the right hand rod went, which was the rod over the maize, and managed a rather nice 26lb mirror on the 'sliver' of Monster Crab pop-up on a reverse combi rig. 

This fish was from the 2021 stocking and went in at 11lb.
