If getting to the pond itself is a wild trek, then fishing it is even more so.
I took my twelve feet rod so I could drop the float underneath the tip.
With all the overhanging branches and dense vegetation, I got tangled a few times.
Plus, with it being an unmanaged pond, there are lots of snags beneath the surface.
I put some brown crumb and maggots out and started to fish on the deck with two maggots on a size 14 hook.
Hello Stewart
On these small off the beaten track venues,
Do you still take a landing net with you just in case you hook into a larger surprise? And if so how do you cope when access is limited with the length of the landing net pole?
Hello, Steve.
I do indeed.
I have a Greys net with a detachable shorter handle which is a compromise between the full-on job and no net at all.
The only time I don’t take a net is when I’m on the upper reaches of a tiny brook and the water is just a few inches deep and the brook narrow and there aren’t any big fish in there at all.
I thought you probably did Stewart just wounded as hadn’t mentioned in your recent video’s.
I agree with what you said in your earlier content,(lot to go through nineteen years and counting)Angling is what you make it,I too share a passion for angling, different circumstances to yourself ,different venues and
Different locations but we both share the same passion I too get excited before every angling adventure, just like the excitement at Christmas Eve.
Excellent, Steve.
Tight lines when you’re out next.
I’ve just had beans and toast and I’ll be out myself for a couple of hours!
