Pregnant Tracy lands pregnant shape fish!!!, 1st Oct

It was a horrible rainy Sunday, and I kept waiting for it to ease up so I could get a couple of hours in down at the lakes. It wasn’t showing any sign of stopping, so at around 4 o’clock I decided to go anyway.

I set up 3 rods and planted them perfectly into areas which regularly produce, two of these spots were already fizzing and I thought “it won’t be long now….” After 3 hours with not even a knock, Tracy turned up to see if I was coming home for tea any time soon. I wanted to give it another hour so she decided to wait with me.

Having promptly nicked my seat, my umbrella and my Carp mag, and gotten herself settled in for the hour, I decided to take a wander around to see where the party was at, cos it certainly wasn’t booming over my rods today!

I’d only turned my back for a minute when I heard the alarm screaming! I turned to run back to my rods, but at 9 months pregnant, I hadn’t seen her move so fast in ages, she was off her seat and had managed to nick my rod as well!!

My well placed bait had been snapped up by one of the new stockies – a gorgeous 26lb 10oz Common. I had to let Tracy have it. She was beaming from ear to ear – very pleased with herself indeed, especially having beaten her PB by 17lb 10oz!!

Not bad for a ‘Fish-wife’!!!

Long Lost Relativesâ€¦, 1st Oct

Having not seen my Dad for a while or my baby brother Laurence for over a year, it was great to have them both come down for the day for a spot of fishing and a barbecue.

Unfortunately, fishing on the tail of Darren and Russ’s enormous success, I wasn’t convinced they were going to have an especially good day.

As it turns out, Laurence had a great afternoon, catching four carp between 18lb to 22lb and breaking his PB in the process; all in about five hours.

Well done Laurence, maybe I’ll see a bit more of you now?

The Bricolage Boyz, 1st Oct

Patrice and Sylvain, both extremely competent Carpist’s, were keen to try the lake out for a night and a day.

By morning, they had had four fish out to 26lb 12oz. The fish continued to come out steadily throughout the day, to a total of eight fish with an average weight of 23lb.

Cheers for the great review lads, Lee & Tracy :)

Stalking, 1st Oct

I had a chance to get a few hours of fishing in this week and thought I’d try a bit of stalking with a boillie on the float.

Looking for fish sign i.e. silt stirring up, bubbles or bumping in the reeds, almost every other cast paid off, I managed to land two fish of 19lbs and 22lbs before I connected with a 32lb Mirror, which was fun with 8lb line on a float rod I can tell you!

I finished off the morning with another Mirror coming in at 22lbs.

All in all, I was well pleased with myself as I had broken my float PB twice in a five hour session.
