What a weekend well what a week is more to the point.
Both Dave and me throught it was going to go pear shaped with the weather being so ify. It's alright having all this rain then sunshine but it makes things harder to keep on top of. The grass needed cutting the pegs needed sorting the weed in the river it's self was growing faster than we could remove it. But it had to be done ready for the fishin plus this Sunday coming 18th a local club has booked the water. By Thrusday i was feeling unwell from over doing it but it was nearly done. Dave had brought the van down and i feel asleep a few times sitting in there.
Anyway friday the time seem to drag a bit waiting for people to turn up. Dave set up a few rods to pass the time and he had anice Bream of just over 3lb. The phone rang and it was Geoff "im at Tesco's" how the hell did he find Tesco's in a place he'd never been before! Well half an hour later these bloke turned up.(Geoff) Trev phoned afew hours later saying he'd be here in the morning as he needed to dry out after getting soaked at Kegworth.
So after helping Geoff set up camp it was time for a few beers and chat to get to know each other, then off to bed.
6:45 am "WHO THE HELL IS THAT RINGING ME AT THIS TIME IN THE AM"
"IT's TREV ON ME WAY DOWN"
Id better get up then!
After a chat and a cup of coffee we left them to it for a bit. Trev out to get some Barbel and Geoff to try and catch something on a river!.
I really didn't think it would fish that well nore did Dave as the river was up about 2ft and rising. It looks like we going to be Minow bashing said Dave!. Hmm not good.
Well how wrong we were. What a day we must of had well over 50lb bream between us me having 22lb myself in just a few hours. A record Barbel (nice one Trev) Chub, Roach the list goes on. And good old Geoff was having a whale of a time catching Bream to over 2lb Chub Bleak etc. But he had to fall in didn't he! think it must of been all the excitment making him light headed as he'd not been drinking!.
Night time both Dave and i set up for a spot of night fishing.
And the Fish still kept coming! Buzzers were going off left right and centre, Plus Geoff snoring his head off in the back ground, Oh and Geoff by the way you talk in your sleep mate!.
So Sunday think i got up about 9am Geoff and Trev were already fishing
Geoff was trying out his new stickfloat. Having not fished one before i tried my best to point him in the right direction. River was not in the best condition for running the stick through but Geoff still had a few fish on it. I think he did really well for his first go with one. Trev was still hard at it even though he was we cold, wet and knackered. He reminds me very much of the old boy in Father Ted you know the one that always say "DRINK DRINK" apart from with Trev its "BARBEL BARBEL" (he just don't give up does he)
As time went by i had afew more Bream and then it was time to say bye to two great blokes. They both had smiles from ear to ear which made us both really happy. To see other people enjoying all the hard work thats be but in beats catching monster bags of fish anyday.
So after our good bye's and a cup of tea and some snap it was back to catching bream again. I Throught!
The float diped slowly another Bream i said to myself BANG off it went this is no Bream. "OH MY GOD" a Carp "DAVE DAVE".
Well after a mad battle trying my hardest to keep it on it pulled the hook straight and it was off. To say i was gutted is an understatment it was a common Carp of i don't know Dave thinks it was about 14lb. But my arm was telling me it was about 140lb!.
Well am sure Dave will post the pic's of me in full flight with this Carp on and then not on so he can take the P.
Well thanks for a great weekend to Geoff and Trev and hope you'll be aback again soon.
We may sort another fishin out for later in the year so keep your eye's on the fishin page.
