A small window of opportunity, rain on the way, the diary full until after work Friday !!!
Better get fishing hadn't I...
...chop chop
Now as I parked up a lure angler was back at his car to get some bits and pieces to go fishing again and he'd been struggling. I actually bumped in to him on another stretch the weekend and he is up to visit his parents so was on a mission to fish the local canals to try and catch some predators.
Anyway another angler on the stretch has just packed up and was making his way to the car, and this was the third session where he'd blanked. Not good at all and despite their being fish movement and bubbles galore in places nothing fancied the worm on the end of his hook.
Not just him though many are finding it tough at the minute, me included, so after a natter I got fishing and the lure anglers was to follow and fish the same stretch. I stumbled upon an abandoned wellie, I could find the rightful owner mind you, hope he is ok 👀
Within 5 minutes of getting the roach dead baits out I had a run and actually was playing the fish as the angler was making his way down the stretch. I was just about say, "hey come of a look at this" when the small schoolie came to the surface and ejected the bait 😁. Typical !!!
With the countdown now on to catch a fish at least I knew if I fished enough swims and stumbled on a zander they would be up for a deadbait. A good hour in to the session though we were both blanking and then the rain started in angler.
I was going to stick it out in to curfew but the other angler had enough and left me too it. Literally 10 minutes after he had gone another bite and this time I managed to hook-up. Only a small fish but they pull back when they are this size and at least I caught a fish. And that was my lot, the next session is in a few days.
