13 June at 3pm, totally p***** off so kit in the car and a quick drive to the tackle shop for some bait, casters out of date so £1 a pint, and a pint of white maggots, left my wallet at home so a quick return trip and then off to the Neath Canal. Normally a 15 minute drive from the tackle shop, but not today more like half an hour.
Set up .5gm float, 5 lb line to size 16 hook. Fished at 6 metres tight to lily pads. Hook bait was single caster and over the next 2 hours pulled out 27 perch to half a pound, one rudd of about 4 ounces and 2 tench, one of 1lb and one of 1 and a half pound.
Started to really chuck it down so made my way home. Quite a productive two hours with about 10 lb of fish.
Look forward to Sunday when I am going to Sylen lake Llanelli for the first time this year.

Dave - earlier in this thread you said "Leave no stone unturned until we find him."
Considering that we anglers are also supposed to be generally "wildlife friendly", may I suggest changing that to "Leave no Tern unstoned". We should share with our feathered friends.

Tr13 th June 2002-06-14
Tomorrow I set off for 2 weeks in Ireland, so today was a special day as it is my last chance to fish in England in June.
Special also, because Nick, (The Polepot) was s coming down to fish with me, my first day out at the new PAD waters with an MD friend and finally, very special, as Nick was bringing the final pieces of a fishing set, to start off a new young Angler and I was looking forward to seeing the generosity of the guys on Maggot Drowners appreciated by the young lads Granddad.
I was late setting off and arrived at our meeting place at 7.15, apologised for the lost 15 minutes over a cup of tea to Nick and then we set off to Marstons Fishery.
Marstons is a small commercial Fishery that offers the PAD club 4 reciprocal tickets.
On hearing that Nick was bringing some kit to help one of their members, the Chairman of PAD immediately gave me 2 tickets free, as he knew the water was fishing well.
On arrival, we set up in adjacent swims, I in No.26 and Nick in25, the swim from which the winner of my recent match there had fished.
Heavy groundbaiting is banned here, but we introduced 5 to 6 balls to kick-start our swims and loose fed maggot/caster /sweet corn and meat.
The winning hook bait on this water was worm and throughout the day, it proved so to be.
Nick opted for his favourite Pole and I set up two Waggler Rods!
It wasn’t long before nick was into his 1st fish!
This was a Carp of nearly 2 lbs and Nick was delighted with the fight it gave! New stock have recently been added and Ghosties, koi and Goldfish are all possible, with the Best Mirrors running close to 20lbs.
However, this one was a Mirror.
Unusually, I too was starting to catch Carp!
As the morning wore on, I continued catching and starting to build a very respectable bag for me, whilst Nicks swim was struggling, but still producing the occasional Carp as well as Perch.
I was also getting Rudd, Roach, small skimmers (6-8 ozs) and then I hit into this lovely fish!
Probably Daz’s luck had rubbed off on me, as this was this years Best Bream!
I also caught a Ghostie of about 1lb, my first ever, so I’ll call it a 10 oz PB!
I phoned Phil and he came over gratefully to collect his kit and then we moved on to the afternoon.
Things now changed, Nick started to increase his catch rate, and I started to doze!
Nick then found his Bream!
As you can see, this 3lb 8 oz Fish was covered in Spawn tubercles.
As the day wore on, I again started catching regularly and at one stage switched to shallower presentation and had fun catching Rudd and Skimmers on the drop, using maggot.
Returning to the depth, I caught this nice Crucian, (hybrid?) of about a lb.
Then came the ‘Big’ one.
At 4.29, Nicks Pole was subject to a lot of elastic stretching as a fish fought to escape.
He was not convinced of the weight of it, but also not prepared to bully it!
It took him all over the swim, in every direction possible and spent 25 minutes at this, before he successfully landed this one, which roved to be the biggest of the day at 4lb 12 ozs.
The rain had now started, a fine but unrelenting drizzle!
The fishing slowed, but we still caught and on packing up around 9.00 pm, I had taken 33 Carp, innumerable ‘bits’ (what a derogatory term for some beautiful ½ lb Rudd, Roach and Bream, as well as their smaller brethren!)
Nick had the best Carp, A bream of 3 ½ lb, 23 Carp in total and was pleased with the first free Zippy Fishing day!”
Another tea in another Services, just before Junction 24 of the M1!
We parted at 10.15pm, 15 hours of sharing fishing, fishing talk and hopefully building fishing memories that we can add to on other days at other venues.
Great day Nick, thanks for your Company.
I made my way to drop off our tickets at the Chairman of PAD’s house, for the next users and set off home.
I awoke a while ago and I am hastening to Post this last report for a fortnight.
I’m home. But I don’t remember getting here! Lol
It’s been a hard week.
Cya soon
Trev.

Well done GF & Twig
BUT

This is rank bad practice,NEVER leave a baited rod unattended,Fourty yards is too far away,even if you are using a bite alarm.
The Enviroment Agency Bylaws state
quote:
Unattended Rods
It is unlawful to leave a rod and line in the water which is unattended or over which control can not be effected.
If you want to go and have a chat,reel in and remove your baited hook from the water.
Peter.

Well, what a day yesterday was!!!!!! Friday night I still hadn't decided which of my angling club's lakes to fish.
Monday and Thursday evening last week I fished my local gravel pit (Hollybush lakes, Pit 3 in Farnborough) and bagged roach, perch and skimmer bream. Thursday night's was the crowner, I was bagging loads and decided it was time to pack up, I turned to a mate who had come down to have a look and said "That's it, one more fish and I'm off." Sure enough, under went the float and I knew straight away it was a bigger fish than the others. The result - a PB perch - beautiful condition, gorgeous colourings. The only thing I don't like about the lake is that it is so bloody deep. At 12 feet, it makes float fishing on the deck a little more taxing.
The Saturday before I fished all day for not even a bite at the lake where I returned to fishing - Shawfields, where I took a hatfull of Crucians out the Monday before. Revenge time? Not yet.
Hollybush is a set of 5 pits, only 3 of which are open to the public, the other 2 are syndicate lakes (stinks of them and us to me.) I fished Pit 1 yesterday.
Got there about 5am. Set up open ended feeder with a selection of hookbaits - corn, prawn, cockles, cheese, hoping for something a little bit different. I got one bite on cockle (which I didn't get)and bugger all else all day.
On the float, though, well, I've been using Sensas 3000's Roach blend for groundbait with hemp and casters mixed into it and trickling maggots every few minutes and float fishing as light as I can get away with in the conditions. It's not easy, since I've only got a 15 foot match rod (the 13 footer I pick up on friday, along with 2 baitrunners, 2 specimen rods, light and heavy feeder rods and another Shimano sahara reel, when I get the bug, I really get the bug!!!!!) and the trees were piddling me off after about the 30th time I flung my tackle into them. In any case, I found a way of casting, where the trees weren't a problem any more.
Fishing on the bottom proved to be a bit slow, and with a bit of a wind in my face meant float tackle larger than I really like to use when bashing roach and perch. I changed this and started fishing 'On the drop' that was it, practically every cast there were bites. My striking needs a bit of work, but I still managed to hook a load - roach, some nice perch and some spiritted little skimmers.
My day was made when I struck at another bite and within a few seconds, line started stripping from the reel - "This must be quite a specimen roach on here!" I thought, and after playing it for a couple of minutes and bringing it almost to the net I realised what was going on. A jack pike had taken a little roach almost as soon as I had hooked it. Shaking by now, I tried to net it but was a bit too eager, the pike spat the roach out, which limped away and my float and hook ened up in the tree again.
I thought the commotion might have put the fish off, but after tackling up again, they carried on throwing themselves at me. I packed up a while later and walked backed to my car to see my girlfriend walking towards me - Unusual. I saw the look on her face and saw there was no smile - 5hit, "Hello darling, You ok?" "No" "What's up?" "Do you know what the time is?" "No" I forgot my mobile phone and I never wear a watch so I had no idea what the time was, "It's quarter to 9." DOH! I've been out fishing for 16 hours and I didn't tell where I was going to be. I thought it was about 5 or 6 in the evening. She had visions of finding my corpse in the lake being nibbled by the wildlife. I think I'll take my phone next time and save myself some earache!!

i may of exaggerated its probley wasent evan 10 yards away. SORRY!!!!
I went to the same peg today with the same rig about 2 hours later into my third cast i was talking to twig again and all you ear is my Bite alarm screaming AGAIN...
twig is alot more streamline then me so he got there 1st i was toddling after him i was hooked in to a 4-6lb Mirror after 10 mins of fighting it was about 1 metre away from the landing net and it came off the hook.
So that was the only run i had, Twig as 2 runs lost both LOL
The fishing wasent good today i only saw two fish get took out. although me and twig HAD 3 fish on.... i was the closest.
thanx for the info Pete about that,,
p.s the pics may be a bit delayed twig pc as broke down!!!!
