Well ,not a good start chucking it down with rain when i started out to meet Craig at 6-30AM .AT THE THISTLE HOTEL CARPARK Cheltenham AT 7-30AM Craig turns up we say hello he said he'd got his mom to drive him he'd supped to much the night before,still raining followed craig to fishery, we chose 2 peg's the other side from the car park .
So i set 2 rod's up Waggler &Ledger . SO began fishing on waggler with a 4lb to 1.7 lb hooklength 18 hook single red maggot soon had 1st fish in hand a roach about 4to6 oz Craig was also catching same size of fish. Putledger out with 10lb to 9.5 lb flourocarbon hooklink to a size 10 drennen barbless starpoint with a large single piece of sweet corn. we continued to catch roach from 1oz to 8oz about every 5mins
Still pouring down with rain tried to put up brolly no where to knock bank stick in path round pool tarmacked. S o had to sit in rain god job i;d got some good waterproofs.Had a good fish on about 10 am but couldn't hold it broke 1.7 lb bottom so changed to a 3.2lb bottom.Also puuled out of a lot of larger fish. About 10.30 Craig he was sorry but was going home he still felt bad from new years eve. At that the baitrunner on ledger rod starting running so i struck &found myself into a decent fish went through a couple of snags it was soon in the net. Craig duly , netted,weighed &photograhed it. it was a small common Carp of 4.5 lbs. Craig went &i continued to small roach ,also had a couple of perch 1 tench.1 small barbel 10 or so very small dace at about the same rate 1 every 5 mins or so Keepnet's not allowed so i reckon i must have had about 60 small fish .
