Bagwood Lake 14-09-12

What the heck's going on!

I went CARP fishing.

Well in the first hour I managed

2 fish.

This 16lb 6oz Plated Mirror

 and this

5lb

Common.

Both caught on Sweet corn

 Shortly after I had a couple of Bream 

on Mash Monster Squid Boilies.

I have to thank my son Rusty

for putting me on the fish.

He managed to catch a 

couple as well best was 17lb 7oz.

At 1pm I got bored 

and set up my waggler rod and 

Centre Pin Reel.

Maggot on size 14 hook to 3lb line.

Wow that did the trick,

Rudd, Roach, Perch

and Skimmers

were hungry for the wrigglers.

5lb ish in an hour

was superb fun,

this Bream looking like it might have

been a Rudd cross. 

All in all a nice day and very good company.

Rockingham again 06-09-12

As I managed to get some

lugworm at the last minute,

and had a free morning.

I popped down to  the grass bank again.

Fishing from 09.30 till 12.15 I took

my carp rod down as well as my

usual rods.

The usual rigs were used on the beach casters

and flowing trace on the carp rod.

First cast on the wishbone rig caught

a small flounder. After that 

a number of rattles and knocks

teased me. Having changed the hook sizes,

I could not hit any of the bites.

The carp rod caught a couple of small

of small silver eels, Snotties.

The targeted flounder did show.

For an hour to the top of the tide

this fishing boat,

the SEA SPORT,

fished over the spot, 

I walk out over the mud to

fish on a rising mid range tide.

Didn't see any fish caught on it.
