🎣 A not ideal angling session but it could have been worse
After yesterday’s successful visit to a small pool, that’s where I returned this time round.
Plus, with it being a bank holiday weekend, I wanted somewhere quiet to enjoy some Sunday morning fishing.
However, being out first thing, combined with a short session of three hours, means that there aren’t many people out and about anyway at that time.
Fishing a couple of rod-lengths from the bank in five-feet of water, the bait was a single prawn over brown crumb and prawns.
I mixed the crumb to a consistency whereby it broke on hitting the surface of the water, rather than a solid ball ending up on the bed of the pool.
I banked one bream, one perch and one roach, while losing two tench.
Therefore, not ideal, but it could have been worse.
Tackle: Greys Prodigy TX 12’ rod. Shimano 3500M reel. Maxima Chameleon 4lb line. Waggler float 1g. Drennan Super Specialist size 10 hook.
Nature notes: Pair of song thrushes on grass approaching the swim, another two singing in trees around the pool. Female mallard with one duckling, another with five young.
