yeah, having seen his fishing scrap book it's ridiculous...made me very envious I believe they are all Home Counties fish

 

Both cracking fish!

But hardly worthy of bragging rights if you haven't caught them yourself.

 

very true

 

The Weathers Lovely, the diary's empty, guess it would be rude not to go a pluck a few doubles out at Oakford Farm, Nounsley.

Short notice I know, but if anyone else wants to join us they will be welcome.
Will be there from about 7.0 untill late afternoon, poss evening?

Remember a hat and loads of sunscreen.

 

See you there @ 7am Buddy

Peg No15 Reserved

 

Is that my peg then?

 

You cast in my swim from wherever anyway !!

 

Results from today !!

Tiny - 7am - 4pm = 7/8 Fish

YUM - 7am -6pm = 16 Fish when i left @ 4pm & the BIGGEST one

KevD - Popped over for 10 mins = 1 Fish

Great day in great company & even better weather

Well done YUM showed me the way today

 

Yep, funny old day, good to whip ya 2:1 - doesn't happen often,
though I should have left with you, didn't land a single fish, but did get bust up 3 times. Heavier set up next time, and targeting some bigger fish

 

ESB30 and I hopped over a locked gate and tried Rochford Angling's private lake.

After joining Slim and I for a while at Nounsley, Mike has caught the bug. New kit and this is what happened on his first days fishing.

The Lake

Mike's first fish


We both caught plenty of fish, I lost count after 20 and Mike had at least 15, mainly carp between 3 - 8lb, plus i had two 2 ish lb tench.



And this whale was caught using an 11mm pellet!!!!!!!!!!

 

nice Tench

 

Was great fun and i am truly hooked!!!

Had another little session today and again i had loads of fun..

 

Well done guy's looks like a cracking lake that , will have to join you guys sometime

Just you wait until the 26th & we get out on the Blyth work Cat - Now that's fishing !!

 

I'm working on getting membership to afore mentioned gate crashed lake...
Once sorted there will be no issue in bringing over a friend!
Although yesterday the place was empty from 5pm and today there were only 4 over the lake

As for the sea fishing.... i can't wait to actually catch something i can take home and eat!!!!!

 

Oh yes most definitely , having had our two previous scheduled trips canceled ( to windy) our freezer is looking a little depleted to say the least It needs re stocking !!

local boasts are all reporting some great catches , so lets just hope that are still there on the 26th , I'm sure Robbie boy will find them

Should be plenty of smooth hounds ( Rock Eel ) Roker ( Skate ) Maybe a few Bass if we are lucky & hopefully a few Mackerel on feathers if they are still about , All fish caught you get to take home ( Size Dependant ) Any female hounds will be returned

 

WOW!!!! and i thought Neil baffled me with jargon this week.....

Can't wait!

 

Haddock, Cod, Smoked Mackerel please.

 

x 2 please

 

With the up coming sea fishing trip. I thought i'd have a go at some beach fishing of the banks of the Crouch @South Fambridge...

I was told by two independent sources that Bass had been caught there last week

Well clearly they have cleared off this week!!!

So this is my only sea fish of the day (had a few crabs)



The hook is half the size of the fish!!!

Good job I had chicken as a back up for dinner at home!!!

Well hopefully boat fishing will be more productive..

 

Lol nice one Mike You sure the size of that hook .. Or is that fish really that small

I promise you the boat trip will most definitely be more productive that that effort

Oh & btw .. with all great fishing reports like your one above , get it posted up over on the WSFF

South East - World Sea Fishing Forums

 

The end rig was recommended by the Pete @Pete's tackle shop... A two hook (1 up, 1 down with 3/0 size hooks).
Must admit, i thought they were rather large.... But yet again the fish was particularly small!!!

As for posting it up on WSFF..... i think i'll wait for a slightly more impressive catch..

 

Guess we really should get a set of scales as some of the recent fish must have been very close to doubles

Friday afternoon

 

Nice catch Mike

You boys are practicing to much !!

 

We're trying to make sure we have an edge against you!!

 

Shhhhhh, don't mention the Rig Marole demo and instruction on Sat.

 

 

If I suggested that I was going to use sugar coated luncheon meat, would you believe me?



my 1st Double out of the Lowlands Farm Lake, plus 3 others 8-9lb, and several 3-5lb

 

Well done buddy.... just a shame i couldn't join you for very long, as the boss recalled me back to head quarters due to a very bad self inflicted hangover!

 

Nice one Yum

 

An few hours from first light produced over 30 fish most between 3-6 lb a few smaller and 3 around this size (no scales so not sure of lb, but prob under doubles.)
