05.45 until 15.30
03.30 Alarm went off
Junction 51 on A1
Two hash browns from Ronald
A peg I have never fished before, in the teens
Two rods - 12 ft 1 1/4 tc Daiwa specialist Avon and 12 ft 2lb tc Korum Barbel Rod
Many baits of 15mm pellets and luncheon meat cubes
One sunrise
06.10 rod hoops over. I strike
9lb hooklink snaps. Lost fish. Gutted.
Fifty thousand more casts, bait fired in
Zero bites
Favourite bait needle snapped- yes I have (had) a favourite bait needle, one of four. However the other three were at home!
Four other swims tried, then back to the first
13.30 drive to Parklands tackle shop for four pints of maggots for tomorrow
£23 spent on sundries, they don't sell maggots (livebait)
Blank saving one hour at another close by swim for part two - zero bites
"Fresh breeze" 18 mph defo felt like more than that. I nearly got blown away!
No fish. A resounding blank.
A68 home, traffic awful took 90 mins!
Wonder if the jinx of Friday the thirteenth is to blame? No, surely not. It's just a number!
You should've fished 13mm pellets :)
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've heard people are having a bit more success with smaller 6-10mm pellets.
Anything with 13 in it would of worked today!! 😂🤣
DeleteTop day out then.
DeleteYou and your baiting needles!
