Three PB's in 4 days
Posted: Tue Jul 02, 2013 9:40 am
Last night my friend Nick, and my son Alan came to the boat to fish for bream in a pre-baited spot with lots of hemp. Alan arrived late, just gone 9pm and Nick and I bye then had only caught a few dace, roach and gudgeon on feeder rods. I was'nt particularly in the mood to fish and we only planned to fish 'till 11pm so I let my son use my rod and set up. So my son starts to feeder fish just gone 10pm, and only goes and catches 7 big bream between 4lb and 7lb15, his new pb. The fish were feeding very confidently with the tips just being pulled around; all un-misable bites, then at just before 12 he lost a fish and the shoal spooked and all he had for the next hour before going to bed was finnicky bites. Strangley, Nick fished an identical set up just a few meters down stream and had no bites, for the fish appeared very concentrated exactly over where we laid the bed of hemp.
So, we had three pbs in 4 days. Friday Nick managed a 7lb10, Saturday I caught a 7lb12, Sunday we all blanked (possibly because we baited up late) and last night fishing over the bait from Sunday, my son caught a bream of 7lb15. This weekend I'll have the swim to myself and will be able to get down to some serious fishing!!!
