This weeks fishing, (hopefully)

I hope to do a bit of sea fishing

as well as pole fishing a lake.

Falmouth, Pendennis Point 27-07-11

Popped down to Pendennis Point

on Wednesday morning. 

The weather was perfect for holiday makers but

not for fishing.

4 of us fished One none fisherman: Float fishing

One novice sea angler: Float fishing 

One fly fisherman: spinning

and me; Spinning and feathers.

 Well nothing caught in 3 hours but very good practice

everyone enjoyed it.

Beats fishing in thick brown muddy

waters of the Severn estuary and Bristol Channel.

Bagwood Lake 19-07-11

My son Russell fished the lake for 24 hours.

He caught around a dozen Cary to just short of 20lds

and some Bream.

Here are a few photos of the lake.

There were plenty of Carp feeding on

insect on the surface.

Cracking day

Are there Barbel in the Bristol Frome

I have been asked if there are any

Barbel in the Bristol Frome?

I have heard the rumours that they have been caught,

I have never in the last 20 years caught one

or ever seen one being caught.

However there are stretches I've not fished

and there could be some there.

If anyone has caught one then I'd expect them to keep

quiet about it as they would never get to fish that area again

as it would be heavily over fished.

I'm going to fish the Frome again after the

summer holidays are over.

Rockingham 05-07-11

High tide this morning was at 10.51

and 12.7mtrs.

I used my usual Pennell Pulley rig and Wishbone,

as well as a Carp rod.

Bait used was Rag worm.

The two beach casters were fished out to about 80mtrs

and the Carp Rod no more than 30mtrs.

The Beach Casters managed 1 fiddly bite and nothing else

First cast with the Carp rod produced a Snotty.

About half an hour before high tide this 27cm

Sole latched on to the bait,

apart from that there were only 5 or 6 other bites with nothing banked.

These two photos show the distance the water is out

from the bank when I cast first cast out.

Around 25 horses are now roaming around the grass bank.

One off which managed to escape on to the main road

and caused havoc with the traffic.
