Take 11 Meadow Waters

Take 11

We arrived at around 8.30am, seen that two pegs were not taken on the second lake, so we got our tackle and made a beeline for them.

Two carp anglers on the two pegs beside us had been there for three days, we had a little vhat and it turned out i knew one of them, altho i had never met him, CPK1979, it was great to put a face to a name, i know him from another website.
Anyways we got our gear set up and we started to fish,

Daz was using his pole, i was on the feeder rod.

Daz was the first to land a fish, a fine skimmer within an half hour of starting, it looked like it was going to be a good day for us.

We then heard the carp anglers alam sounding, we got our terminal tackle out of the water and had a walk up to see what he had got.

Here he is playing the fish



Here's a shot of it on the top of the water



Some 15 minutes later here's what he got, a fine 14lber+



As the day went on the sun got warmer, i dont know if that put a dampener on the feeding fish but the bites seemed to die off.

All was not lost, Dan began to catch again, and so did i.

Skimmers were the main species, however Daz did get a great PB bream.

5lb of bream for Daz on the pole

.


However as before the fishing seemed to die off.

It was a while before we had a bite, then the fish went off again.
It was decided to pack up and leave, the sky had turned a nasty grey rainy colour, we could see the rain falling not far away from us, LoL

Here's a small skimmer i got



Here's Daz's bag



I dont know how this sea bird came so far inland but it was having a great time picking off the fish that were on the top of the water, look at the white thing, thats the bird



A good day at a great fishery with Daz,
