First day on the bank

[juttle]

For three months, actually, first day passed the front door for three months! Anyway, off to a small, secluded, day ticket water in the middle of nowhere about ten miles away, yes, it is the nearest one! Nothing more than a float rod, net and a pint of reds saw me on the bank at 06:00 to be greeted by loads of geese, a few mallards and the owners Scottie. Only one other angler there so tucked myself into a secluded corner and lobbed a float in. Almost instantly a long, lean, common of 15.06 was in the net. Second chuck, a 3.5 perch! This is going to be a good day!

I packed up at lunchtime as usual, having had a fish a Chuck! There was everything from loads of skimmers and small roach, all about 12oz, three bream to 6.5, and several more commons between 9.00 and 14.5. I had to keep the bait out of the water just to have coffee!

As first days go, that was a good’un in my book, roll on tomorrow!

Sounds like a nice mixed fishery! That would be a couple of PBs for me as my best Perch is about 2.5 and best Bream about 6.

Wow 3.5 perch and 6lb bream. That’s some venue. Please disclose location, I think I need to go! ?

Are you sure you had woken up that sounds like a dream. Was Linda Lusardi putting the bait on for you

Wow you won’t forget that session congratulations

2.5 is about my best perch caught when you could live bait for pike

No dream mate, it was all real! Shame about Linda Lucardi though! Anybody know a little place just outside Totnes?
