muftyboy 1,948 Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 I'll start off this month. Just got back from a 36 hour. Wind was awful, rain was awful. Ground was like a bog but I managed 2 fish. Nothing big but made it worthwhile. Had the pleasure of photographing the best looking mirror ive ever seen on the bank for another angler that went 25lb. This was one of mine that luckily came in one of the better 10 minutes of weather on Saturday afternoon. commonly, finchey, kevtaylor and 8 others 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

finchey 943 Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Well I did my first overnighter last night on one of the waters on my new club ticket, it's a runs water nothing too big they go to high doubles. Any way I had 6. Smallest 6 1/2 biggest 10lb. It was nice to get a bend in the rods. No photo's the weather wasn't the best didn't fancy taking photos in the rain. 🙂👍 B B, elmoputney, Highy and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Felt great to be fishing, the leg didn't feel great, moving the barrow over slippery ground wasn't great but I can deal with a bit of pain if it means I can feel normal again! Just on the hunt to find a ticket for the year now! Edited March 9, 2020 by Ginger9991 crusian 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
muftyboy 1,948 Posted March 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 Went down the secret lake on Wednesday night for a few hours. A few showing but not a bleep as I expected. Finished work early on Thursday and as I had the rods in the car I popped down my club lake for a few hours. Mangaged to blag 3 fish in about 4 hours. Well happy with that and even more happy that the 1st one was one of the rare mirrors. finchey, crusian, commonly and 7 others 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is there any other option than a big spread with a throwing stick, I am still quite a novice at it but it doesn't seem possible to me 😂😂 I did notice quite. Lot of plastic floaty remote boats on my walk yesterday, the throwing stick almost seems the exact opposite this makes me happy 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tbh I could've spodded more accurately, but chose to use the stick as I want to get better at it, as for my waders I had to wear them as the swim was a bit flooded and I had forgotten my workboots so I needed to wade into about 6 inches of water 💦😂 44 minutes ago, finchey said: Well done mate excellent angling, it just takes the one run.🙂👍 Thanks well happy with that one crusian 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
