🎣 Fishing on Christmas Day
It’s only a date on the calendar, having said that, I don’t think I would want to fish all day long on Christmas Day.
In fact, I wouldn’t.
I did have an hour or so though at first-light on a small pool.
The conditions were very mild and I caught roach.
My target species.
Tackle, bait and tactics
Greys Prodigy TX 12’ rod. Shimano 3500M reel. Maxima Chameleon 4lb line.
Home-made 3” float. Drennan Super Specialist size 16 hook.
Fished about three metres from the bank, beyond the drop-off and in open water. Depth was six-feet.
Fished two white maggots over brown crumb and red/white maggots.
