Fishing The Mere 11-11-18

After a bit of discussion between me and Chris we decided to travel in to the countryside and try out the fishing for Roach and Bream.Armed with Maggots and worms we set up in a large peg,me fishing in one direction and Chris the opposite way.We hadn't been there long and the rain which was forecast arrived and was uncomfortable as the wind changed and was blowing into and across the swims.After lots of casts and different distances we had nothing to show for our efforts.We met a nice angler called Mike who was fishing in the next peg for pike.In the afternoon he popped round with a lure rod and net and said he'd had 9 pike,nothing big but good sport and wanted to share his spoils with us.After 3 casts Chris caught a small jack.I had a few and felt a knock but didn't make contact.A nice gesture from another angler who Knew we were struggling,Thanks Mike.As the afternoon wore on the wind eased and as it was our first time there fishing for silvers we agreed we were in the wrong place,but would be back.
