A Short Pole Session

I've not fished for a couple of weeks and have been itching to get out.Maybe this warm weather has stopped me and the rivers being low and not wanting to fish for barbel in this warm weather I needed to get out.I always buy a local card for those quick to go sessions,I was lucky to get this card as unless so,done dies or leaves it's a long wait.They own two waters on the same site.So my plan was to fish the bigger water and try out a new pole I bought a while back to replace an old one I'd had for years.I chose a peg that had a slight breeze on my back next to some lilies .Baits would be maggots and castors.My first put in saw a roach,then it was perch attack one after the other,nothing of great size but annoying.Then a few more roach,I decided as the morning Went on I'd introduce some balls of micros hoping I'd catch something more that perch.There was a few carp coming out but not in my swim choice .A few skimmers fell to the net then a decent bream,I decided to pack up and head home for the England game.A few more baits next time and maybe put another swim in .Enjoyable but all perched out to be honest..
Perfect pole for me,8.5 m light enough and happy with it.
The baits Maggots and castors .
