Late rush at Limpley Stoke. 16-09-14

13.30.

 I have just got to the first of my chosen swims

and exactly where I want to put my baits,

these two swans are feeding happily.

 So I tried out some other areas.

This will help when the water levels

rise.

Eventually the one under the near side

overhang  moved off.

So under went my bait.

 Well by 15.30 there was no sign off life.

So onto my main swim of the day.

This time I had signs of life straight away.

This time I was loose feeding some Casters.

and at 16.20 the first proper bite.

After a really good fight, this

3lb 1oz Chub was in the net.

 No 2 Chub was in net

20 minutes later, again putting up a really good show.

This was 2lb 9 1/2oz.

Now it was time for the swans to catch up with me

and spent an hour paddling round the swim.

 By now had managed to put out 

a fair few freebies, I could now settle down

to wait on some action.

It was not until 18.00 that I again had some signs of life.

Around 18.20 I lost a Chub to to some reeds on the 

far bank.

Then just before 19.00

I had my next Chub this time 2lb 1oz.

 By 19.45 this 3lb 13oz Chub was on the bank

and was the biggest of the day.

I had to pack up then as it was to dark to continue

safely.

In between I managed two other Chub

2lb 9oz and 3lb 3oz.

The calfs in the field are very curious

and spent a long time watching me,

they then escorted me out of the field.
