Went fishing last wednesday. Day off Friday. Went Saturday then was going to clean my kit before packing away but my son asked me to go yesterday, so I didnt need much persuading, lol
All three days, I lost count on how many I caught but mainly roach, decent sizes allthree days. But caught 3 big perch all around 3 to 4 pounds. I was mainly feeder fishing on maggots and Saturday caught a 9lb carp on my light float rod and she took me 20minutes to land. Every time she caught site of the landing net, she was away! Another chap came along and usedthe landing net while I was running out of puff with the rod, but we got her in eventually.
I have caught many much larger carp on my carp rods but on a 6 pound line with a 4pound hook line on a light 2.50 rod it was wnderful.
My son actually, last night got his fly rod out and went for carp on the surface and caught a 19.5lb beauty, amongst others.
I was reeling in some very nice roach.
Who said fishing was boring? I always seem to catch fish wherever I go.
I am probably much better at fishing than I am sim racing, lol.
What, no slippers and smelly pipe?
