Xmas 2009 trips

Only got out once during the Xmas leave period, that was to the Tannery fishery at Send. No bites but was very cold and lots of water going through.

Next outing should be pike fishing.

Nice Chub on first dat of fishing holiday

Put a nice Chub back on the first day of the holiday. Caught on spicy chicken boilies (double) and my experimental rig using lead core.

16lb Common from Wey

Well pleased with a rather angry Common from the Wey, put up a hell of a fight and took ages to go back but well worth it. Caught on JB Barbel Boilies!

2008/09 Pike Session Report

I don't normall do a full season report for my piking...but then again I've never caught so many pike in 4 months. 7 is total!

It started with a session to Farnhams River Valley, this water is a specialist Pike water. On the first trip I netted a double. The following trip I lost one.

Then I tried Woking during Feb after the big thaw, I landed two doubles that must hasve been nudging 20, I lost a third. They only wanted mackral!

Then we went to Mill Lane, we were told it was'nt a very good Pike water but even so, I netted a low double and lost a second, dad also missed one.

Then another trip to River Valley, trying a new bait called Blueys, I landed two low doubles and caught a well sized "Jack". In fact the Jack was landed straight after the second Pike was put back!

Our final trip was back to Woking where we blanked but by then they were spawning. Def a season to remember!!!

Even bigger pike!

Just put back an even bigger pike!

Kind regards

First session on River Wey

Visted the Wey for the first outing of the new season, apart from being plagued by illegal canoists, I landed a very nice and quite angry(!) 9lb Common Carp. Caught on DB's Spicy Chicken mini boilies!

Farnham AC's Bagshot Lea

Had my first session on this water in April, blanket but it was quite windy/wet and cold. I did better a few weeks later when we fished near the island and I netted a small but resonable Tench on Spicy Shrimp.

We then had two nights where Dad got a nice Tench and I landed two Carp, a Mirror of about 12lb and during the night, a Common of 16lb.

Good session on Langmans for Pike

Had a nice 15lb Pike from Langmas yesterday, it was on Trout deadbait and fell to a float rig in the corner of the lake. I also missed a run on joe mackrel earlier. The weather was very mild with a stiff breeze.

I had been out on Xmas Eve but the lake was still 80% frozen so had to find a spot that was clear.
