went to my favourite "commercial" today with Daz and Bernie, a smashing place called Meadow water
I fished the feeder rod, as did Bernie, Daz started off on the float rod but later went onto the pole.
For baits i had red and bronze maggots, groundbait used were Halibut groundbait.
The weather was warm, but at times the wind got up a bit.
My peg today
Things started slowly, but first blood to me, a small roach, the only one of the day.
However the skimmers oon came to the feed, i got about 5 when the tip went round, Ooooooo thought i, Daz saw the reaction and came to have a look, could it be a carp he said, could be i said, or it could be a tench, i only had 5lb mainline and 2.2lb hooklength, fixed to a size 16kamasan B611 hook.
I managed to land 15 skimmers and that single roach.
Daz had a decent day landing skimmers, dace and roach, Bernie managed to land 6 skimmers
Just before the net for Bernie
Bernie with a skimmer in the landing net
And again
A most enjoyable day with my mates on a nice venue
Thanks for the day LADS, next time
Sorry got no piccys of Daz
