Feeder Fishing 30-9-18

So today's session would be on the feeder with me and Chris having a short match between ourselves from 1pm till 5 fishing a local res .The water was well down but we managed to find a good spot so we could fish side by side.Bait for me was a sweet groundbait,maggots and castors.There was a nice flow on the lake and quite windy with the odd shower and some sunshine .We were catching from the off with me taking the lead early doors .

The Bait..........

Chris was a few behind and I then extended my lead,could Chris bounce back.Chris was fishing a double hook rig and a good pull produced a Perch and a roach .I was still catching so,e nice roach and perch,then a double knock.........

A Tommy Ruffe ,not had one of these for a while.With my lead extended Chris was fishing the maggot feeder now.I carried on the cage feeder and seemed to be catching roach and perch,Where was the bream.Chris had a skimmer ,would the bream come now.

Chris doing something secretive .............

I was struggling now and Chris hauled back a couple more.A late flurry saw me well in the lead then Chris bounced back with the biggest perch on the day.

A cracker on the feeder Chris.......

We called it a day just after 5 pm,an enjoyable 4 hours fishing in great company.

First Double of the season 1-9-18

So time to get back on the river again and was slightly lower than last week.My First session with Chris today so hopefully I put him in the right area .I fished both rods down stream same way as last week with pva bags,boilie and pellet hook baits.From the off Chris was getting twitches and I was really hoping he was gonna catch .The temps were 22 degrees a lovely warm evening sat in a long sleeve t shirt .i was gettin a few twitches and as it was goin to be dark soon I was hoping we would be in for some barbel action.Just before 8pm and my left hand rod was off,felt like a barbel at first but was a good chunky chub around 4 lb.As the light levels dropped now we sat back and the temps were a couple of degrees lower and everything felt good.As the river was low we were casting every 30 mins up to an hour.I felt for Chris as he was getting the odd twitch his swim was lively earlier with fish topping and now seemed dead.He up streamed one off his rods looking for a bite.It was long before I was getting a couple of twitches on each rod and a good one off a Bat.At 10-30 my left hand rod ripped off and what a fight in low water,I could feel the barbel hugging the bottom and my heart was racing as it melted off a few times before she was finally mine in the net.

10lb 2 and my first double of the season.I was well chuffed after a difficult night in lower conditions.I really felt Chris did everything right tonite and I'm sure they,ll come by buses mate,Be patient.

Nice to be out with Chris in great surroundings.

Tight lines ,need Rain .
