Trip two ;- New Passage 21-07-12

Needed to use up the Lug and Rag

from the morning trip.

I invited my son Rusty

along.

The weather was again

perfect.

The high was at

21.46

and

12.8mtrs.

To keep a great story

short,

had a great chat and time with Russell,

watched the Mullet frolicking at the

waters edge as tide rose,

saw a few rattles on the rod tips

and BLANKED!!!!!!  

Once again

a great fishing trip.

Trip one :- Rockingham 21-07-12

Needing to escape the hassle of home,

I signed my own escape chit.

With Lug, Rag and Squid

I trundled down to the grass bank.

Fishing was very slow

with four rods out,

fishing from 20mtrs to 100mtrs.

Well,

eleven bites

in total produced

this Snottie

at about 50mtrs

 To this

whole Squid wrapped with 

Lug and Rag.

This was on a 4/0 pulley rig

on the final cast.

 Also on the final cast of the wishbone rig

at distance

this 12 inch

flounder

fancied the Lug.

Weather was great,

tide was 12.5mtrs

at 09.33.

What a lovely morning.

River Frome again 14-07-12

Fished six swims from the Mill upstream to below 

Vasalls Park / Oldbury Court, on the mill side 

this time.

At five of the swims I only managed a few

little nibbles.

At the mill I had 3 roach

and a little chub.

Same rod, reel and bait.

The biggest problem was 

dogs.

Loads of them,

with bad owners.

Not quite so enjoyable

this time.

Short trip down Snuffs.

Had an hour and a half free

this afternoon

so popped down to the

Frome again.

Half a dozen slices of Braces

medium sliced bread

in my pocket.

I set up my

waggler rod and centre pin reel.

Feeding some loose bits of bread 

at the various swims

I walked the bank.

The colour had dropped out

and the flow slowed up. 

 Bites were few and far between

but I did manage to catch

3 x Roach, a Dace and a Chub.

 All around the 1/2lb size.

This photo shows the 

crease between the faster water (patches of bubbles),

and the slack water, closest to the bank.

All the fish were caught where the two meet.

A very relaxing hour 

on the bank.

River Frome Bristol. 07-07-12

Took an hour out from caring

for the Good Lady,

and walked up the Frome valley.

 As can be seen

it was coloured and running.

 However the usual areas are still fish-able

using smelly baits 

 Mate sure you check 

for snags.

Not fishing at the moment

Due to major health problems 

at the moment

I have not been out fishing.

Hopefully I'll be out again

on short trips next week.
