Weather=Hot, little breeze
Baits used, White maggot
Red maggot
Halibut pellet groundbait
Today saw Dazb and myself back down to Meadow Water, and what a great place it is.
We arrived at about 9.50am, i was hoping that the peg i fished the last time was free, arghhh its gone, not to worry the peg next to it was free,so i jumped in that peg, Daz chose the peg next to me
We decided to fish the feeder again today.
I used my Drennan 12'6" feeder rod with a 3/4oz tip
I think Daz fished with his 11'6" Drennan rod
Tackle set up and away we went
It was not long to wait for the first fish, i got a roach on the third cast, another three followed in quick succession.
I decided to have a cup of tea and a sandwich.
The angler on the next peg was after the carp, grass carp to be precise.
We got chatting, he told me he had been down for 2 days.
After about 20 minutes or so i was back on my peg, things had got slow by then, so i decided to spice up the maggots with a sprey of scopex.
The next 4 or 5 casts brought more roach, 6 in all.
After the last roach was landed, the rod was given a hefty tug, thats not a roaqch i thought, the skimmers had move in, great i thought.
Skimmer after skimmer came to my net, in all i had 11,
The skimmer size range was from this
To this
.
Meanwhile Daz had decided to fish the waggler float, he cast into the corner of the lake, the wind was blowing in that direction.
Daz was soon into the fish, roach after roach fell to his rod, Daz also landed some perch.
In all Daz had 36 roach and 6 perch.
Here's Daz on his peg putting a roach in his net
.
And this is the total catch by Daz, a decent net of roach and perch
We had a good chat with the carp angler during the day, he asked us if we had ever fished an overnighter, no we said, you will have to come down and have a couple of night,mmmm, the seeds were sewn.
I think Daz and myself are heading for an overnighter in the near future.
My thoughts of the day.
I had a very enjoyable day with Daz on a great venue.
Cracking day on a cracking venue.
