An afternoon angling session on an overgrown pond
I didn’t get home from work until the early hours and then, when I was back in the land of the living, initially it was spent wrapping up my media involvement for the game.
Once completed, my wife and I went to the coffee lounge at the church we’ve been attending recently.
It was our first visit there and it’s very impressive.
We know a few people from the church already and that’s always nice in the early days.
Therefore, as far as today’s angling session is concerned, it was an afternoon one as opposed to my usual first light affair.
I was on an overgrown small pond and you can see that in the short video above.
The water was very shallow (less than two feet deep) and I fished with two white maggots on a size 14 Drennan Super Specialist hook, with the line 4lb Maxima Chameleon.
The small waggler had shot either side and the bait sank naturally through the water.
The fish were active from the start and I trickled maggots in every cast, casting over them as they sank.
Although there for just an hour, I lost count of the roach banked.
In addition I caught a few perch and a tiny rudd.
I only needed the landing net once but I thoroughly enjoyed it and that’s what counts.
Stewart i know you are a busy man but if possible can you do some fishing playlists on your YouTube….such as one for pike,maybe one for Sea,Stickleback etc etc.
I enjoy your vids and tend to have them playing in the background when i’m making pole rigs and pike traces etc so playlists would be useful.
Thanks…..Mark L
Thanks for the comments, Mark, appreciated.
I’ll look into that for the future. It’s east to create your own playlist though in the meantime.
Search YouTube for ‘word’ and add videos to a playlist.
Your reference to sticklebacks reminds me, haven’t been after those for a while.
Loved your shopping trip mishaps very funny 😂
Quite a series of events there, Alan!
The rat was the worst 🤮
I still haven’t worn the shoes yet, I will do this weekend though.
Have enjoyed the tench sessions over the summer. Watch out for those dead rats by the way 🤣
Hello, Chris. Nice one, you know the venue as well, of course.
Live ones are bad enough but entrails are worse 🤮
