A short cobbled together session this and a short post but with Sam blanking over the last couple of sessions on the lure a pint of maggots and some groundbait was the order of the day.
Every angler likes to see a float go under and Sam is no different. We don't do it enough I suppose but with ones single minded approach on the canal pleasure fishing sessions don't really get a look-in.
The area that Nic discovered though has some really nice fish in situ so I'm actually thinking of dusting off my keep-net as the Zander fishing isn't going particularly brilliant at the moment.
Take this evening for instance despite fishing the Zander hot-spot (10 fish caught over two sessions, 8 over 4lb, the best 6lb) there were no bites at all, zilch, nada, nothing !!!!
After an hour without even a bite of maggot we moved swims and not long after we did the float dipped and Sam had the first fish on.
I knew exactly what it was but he thought it was a perch at first. "Sam's that's a ruffe you've just caught"
"A ruffe, my first RUFFE !!!!"
"Yeap, worth just coming out for that wasn't it"
"Yipppppppppeeeeee, I've caught my first Ruffe"
He caught another 2 and bumped a couple off.
A shoal of Ruffe in a canal full of invasive predators, who'd have thought it. Tunnel Barn Fishery with more fish that water, you're welcome to it !!!!
