I've been out walking the Bristol Frome.

It was slow and green

and at the usual summer

level.

What was strange, was the lack of fish coming to

bread and other baits

I have been offering.

What wasn't very good 

were the number of anglers fishing.

What's the point of having a 

a close season if its not being 

policed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never mind,

hope this yuk weather is going to move on

as I will be fishing a river

somewhere.

Not the Frome.

(To many walkers on a weekend)

GOOD LUCK

TO ALL

RIVER FISHERMAN

ON THE

MAGIC 16th June!

Using up left over bait. 09-06-13. Rockingham

High tide today was at

09.00 and 12.1mtrs.

Looking at the

Sea Bank power station

and the grass bank from the mud.

I started fishing at 

07.00.

First cast produced a small

12 inch Codling,

on a pennel pulley rig

loaded with Lug, Squid

and Crab.

About an hour latter

I had an other

Drop back bite which again produced

a slightly larger Codling.

This fell to the same rig.

There was a 

light easterly breeze

and warm.

Packed up at 10am

as the bait had run out.

Without any more

bites.

 Avonmouth across the mud.

Rockingham sunday 08-06-13

Tacking Squid, Lug, Rag and Peeler crab

I started fishing with the usual rigs

at 06.30.

High tide was at 08.30 

and 12.2mtrs.

Well what is there to say,

light north east wind

and quite warm.

Not a bite or rattle.

Pretty poor

but nice morning.

Bagwood Lake fishing well. 21-05-13

Started the day off on the pole

with sweetcorn on size 14 hook.

3 Bream to 4lb 14oz

and a lost carp was a nice start.

But some thing switched the fish off

corn, so changed to the maggot.

 This produced periods of

no action, so switching

between a waggler rod and pole

I manged to keep a steady flow

of some nice roach, rudd and

small perch.

This roach hit 15oz

on the scales.

Total bag was around 25lb.

I also used a ledger rod with popped up corn 

fished over pellet, caster. corn and hemp.

Not a touch.

The other couple of anglers failed to catch anything.

Another nice outing.

What no fishing???????????????????????????????????

I hope to get out fishing

again with in the

next two weeks.

Family illness and other family

problems have taken up my spare time.

Another trip, another result down Baltic Wharf. 07-05-13

Another chance of a mornings fishing

found me on the Wharf.

I started fishing at 07.30.

Only had Maggot for hook bait,

over ground bait and loose feed Hemp.

Two nice Dace on the first two put-ins

and I was feeling pretty good.

But!

The bites slowed right down to less than drip,

I really struggled to find the fish. I fished

from 1ft over depth to 3ft up.

The only thing different

was that water was clearer.

A warm and sunny morning

with a light breeze

picking up later.  

Baltic Wharf 02-05-13

A chance to get down to

Baltic Wharf 

this morning, produced some nice sport.

I started fishing at

07.40

and used  maggot and caster

over ground bait.

I loose feed 6- 10 maggots

and caster as well as hemp

every couple of minutes.

10 minutes in and a good Dace 

was in the bag,

and that started a steady

flow of bites.

This ended up producing

about 4lb

of

Dace, Skimmers

and a couple of roach.

All bites were on the

7 - 9 mtr line.

What a lovely

morning's fishing.

I packed up at 12.15.

Watch out for the

Cormorant 

it knows there are plenty of fish 

out there.
