A change of angling plan, a trilogy of disasters and talking fishing on radio
🎣 Small pool roach fishing
The change of approach that I hinted at in my last blog post, meant that this morning, although still on a pool, I was fishing for roach with bread.
I did catch and, although nothing big on the bank, nevertheless I enjoyed the session.
Ultimately, when it comes to angling, that’s the most important box to tick.
You can follow the session in the video.
🪱Tackle, bait and tactics
Greys Prodigy TX 12’ rod. Shimano 3500M reel. Maxima Chameleon 4lb line.
Drennan 1.2g waggler. Drennan Super Specialist size 14 hook.
Fishing a couple of rod lengths from the bank in six-feet of water, I presented bread over bread mash and a small amount of brown crumb.
🦢 Nature notes
Grey wagtail in flight across the pool landing on the far bank.
Two calling ring-necked parakeets in flight.
I heard them first, and then I saw two ravens passing overhead, just above tree top level.
📻 Fishing and Welsh football on Bayside Radio
It’s a familiar Monday morning pattern, as far as I’m concerned.
I go fishing and then once back home, I shower and change, and get ready for my weekly chats with Jeff Pearson.
He presents the afternoon show on Colwyn Bay’s Bayside Radio, and we record a fishing slot for Thursday afternoon and Welsh football chat a day later.
