A pleasant afternoon evening with my son. 10-07-14

Andrew said he would meet me 

up at Lacock at 3pm, 

so I started in the first field under a tree

until he arrived.

I set up a boillie ledgered under a

raft of rubbish.

Then used maggot trotting down

the near side.

This produced around 30

roach,dace, chub, minnow

and perch.

One of the Minnows was taken by 

something which didn't play very hard

but stayed deep.

Eventually it spat the now

rather squashed Minnow out.

I would love to have seen it.

Andrew arrived and off we went to feed a few swims

and the fish them on the back.

In the first few swims there were plenty of rattles

and knocks but nothing on the bank.

A change of rig to give a better

flowing trace style and straight away

the result was different.

The first knock produced a

good pull on the rod and something heavy

was on the end, it pulled like mad

and eventually headed under a fallen log.

This fish was lost as it snagged the rig with the hook length snapping.

In the last swim I finally landed a

better Chub. This one was 1lb 8oz. 

 Then just at last knocking

this 2lb 5oz Chub took the bait.

Well that ended a great evening with good fishing, good surroundings

and very good company.

Roll on the next trip out.
