Meadow Waters, 9

Take 9

Back down to Meadow Waters today with Daz and Bernie,

I got the same peg as last week Bernie got the peg in the corner and Daz chose the peg next to him.

Bernie and myself fished the feeder rod, Daz as ever started on the pole.
I had red and bronze maggot for hook baits, Halibut broundbait, laced with brown crumb and Lake ground bait, a sweet pungent mix, along with freebies of bronze and red magggots.

First fish to me on the first cast, a small skimmer bream of about an half pound, next fell to Bernie, he also got the second fish on his second cast.

The fish continued to come to the net, however as ever it went dead for about an hour or so, then they started again. More skimmer for me. I decided to have a cuppa and a bite to eat, so i stroll down to chat with Daz and Bernie

Here's Dave for his money said Daz, i looked and said.
Nah its not, i know that fella, It turned out to be no other than Mr Les Middy. LoL one of my .pint partners on fish ins and fishing holidays.

We greeted each other with a usual warm and HARD back slapping hug. LMAO

Hand shakes for Daz and Bernie, it was the first time Bernie had met Les.

Down to my peg after the greeting for a cuppa for him.
Then what did he do, the so and so NICKED MY PEG here he is

Les done well, landing around 10 or so skimmers while he was on my peg

We had a chat about our forthcoming holiday to Ireland, food, fishing baits, groundbaits etc.

Les stayed for a while chatting, then it was time to go, he has an appointment with a club that sells beer LoL

The fishing went dead again for a while, but the skimmers soon started to feed again, in all i had around 25 skimmers, with the 10 that Les land thats a nice amount of skimmers from a swim

, Daz had a good mixed bag, skimmers, roach, dace and a nice tench of about 2lb
