Last time at Lacock? We'll see. 17-07-14

Yep back up Lacock

for 5.30am.

Then the long trudge to my chosen swims.

At the first I found two Badgers

snuffling around the field.

This one did not see me as walked past.

Only when I got the camera out did it get 

camera shy and leg it. 

 So a gentle flip of the free lined Boillie

down the near bank, and I sat down to wait 

for the fish to take an interest.

Well after 40 minutes or so a

pull on the rod and I had a Chub on.

2lb 10oz.

Great start but no more interest,

and time for swim two.

Now this one usually produces 

a couple of Chub.

But only a 1lb 9oz Chub showed 

it licked my bait.

So swim three,

this was another new swim for me.

Dropping a light ledgered bait

on the far bank under a hangover bush

and a free lined one on the near bank.

This produced the best Chub of the day

2lb 13oz on the free lined bait.

 Shortly after the other rod was hit by a

2lb 11oz fella. 

Then these to young swans

decided it was time for me to move on.

Now it started to brighten up

after a dull start.

So swim four and I could see

7 or 8 Chub up to around 3 1/2lb

could be seen. Again the

the free lined bait was dropped in,

I watched them race around the bait with plenty of

line bites.

They were trying to knock the bait off the

hook, which they managed to do.

So using to small baits, I

Gently dropped them near to some 

weed mid flow.

A few loose feeds were introduced

and that had the desired effect.

A cracking tussle and a 2lb 7oz

chap was on the bank.

The fish had now disappeared.

So next swim and a 2lb 9oz chub

came out to play.

The next swim produced a blank

so a 12 noon I headed home.

Another cracking days fishing.

I have now fished all the swims at the venue

so I'm looking for some where new.

Watch this space.
