Wasperton - 12.02.12

I was eager to get on the bank after the recent cold spell, I had some sardines in the freezer and as it was still a bit chilly out I didn't fancy being stuck in one spot. So the plan was to trot a bait down the Avon with a big float and also use a lure rod with a roach replicant.

I started at the S Bend trying various swims, hidey-holes and slack areas where the Pike might be hiding out, not even a sniff on either sadly. ( Spot the dead sheep ) :(

Shame really as the Avon looked in fine fettle with ice still in the margins. Wasn't clear mind as there was still some colour in it. I thought a sea bait would lure them out as I've had success with them in the past.

Back to the Stour next weekend.
