Well it's been horrid all weekend but I can't not go fishing in a whole weekend. SW7/8 and hammering down so it was try to get the wind behind me for a T-Time session.
It started Ok with a few bits of bait about in the shallows which is always a good sign.
Working the pafex veeeerrrrryyyyy slowly round in the current it was sinking to about 8ft I guess. Water was like thick mud, about 2ft viz to shiny objects like bass turning on my lure!! When I say very slowly one turn of the handle taking about 4 seconds, twitch, sit, 1,2,3......8, start again.
4th cast and whallop, screeeeeeecchhhhhhhhhhh...... Wahay!!
After quite a scrap this lovely bar of silver showed up on top, running a few more times against a tight drag.
here she is!!
52cm and 3-10-4 on the digi scales for the club.
Texting to report the fish done she was bonked on the head as I had an order for a fish. On gutting I was upset as she was starting to roe up. Noted for the rest of the year for fish heavy for length to go back whoever wants what to eat.
Continued to fish and felt the need to try some hard lures for some reason. A balanced Vision 110, half a gram of sticky lead round the mid section had done the trick quite nicely turning it into a suspending/slow riser. The other was a straight forward new lure a Yo-Zuri Crystal minnow, supposedly a suspender and actually pretty close to it. Rose very very slowly and completely horizontal. Good work Yo-Zuri!!
Anyway, no joy with the hard stuff so back on the SP's. Had quite a few plucks but no hookup for a while until I hot a masive pollack. All of 1/4lb I reckon!! Having a larf it was soo small!!
I carried on spurred in the torrents of rain by flashes of silver but they were suspect maybe having seen their mate in trouble. They seem spooky on this mark. I saw at one point 2 separate silver flashes at the lure and after they went I hooked into a fish which turned out to be a pollack. Shame.
by now 2 calls from the nipper and I couldn't put up any more with the when you coming hoe whingeing so off I went, cold wet and happy!!
