19 June part 2

Posted by Chris Plumb in Chris Plumb's Blog, 20 June 2013 · 2 views

River Kennet, Padworth

1530 - 2230

Hot, overcast and sultry - still 21ºC when we packed up.

4 brownies - a couple circa 1¼lb (possibly the same one!)

Reports from the river suggested barbel fishing would be a bit of a struggle - so the trotting rod was added to the quiver in the hope of a few dace - but yet again one of my favoured trotting...

parts 2&3

Posted by viney in viney's Blog, 19 June 2013 · 7 views

Part two of my day was a small back stream, worked my way down trotting every swim for 10 minutes or so, had a handfull of dace, a few roach, plenty of minnows and a 3lb2 chub which did an amazing impression of a barbel just hugging the bottom and using the flow.

Part 3 a stretch of the kennet past Thatcham, used the last of my maggots catching minnows a...

I've lost my hat!

River Kennet, Monday 17th  June 2013
 
My seasoned old Barbour Bushman lovingly waxed over the past three years has gone. It usually lives in the boot of my car but because I haven’t been fishing for a while I hadn’t noticed that it had vanished. A new one is on its way to me but it won’t be the same…sniff sniff.
 
So [ha...

The times are a' changin' 17.6.13

Posted by The Flying Tench in The Flying Tench's Blog, 17 June 2013 · 19 views

Not much to report on the fishing. Yesterday, the glorious 16th, I just had time to check out a couple of swims - and discovered that they are unfishable unless I bring gardening implements. Worth knowing, at least.  Then I spent an hour spinning for perch in what I thought was a banker area where the river meets the canal. To give me confi...

VAC Champion of Champions Match - How End-26th May 2013

Posted by Maddog in Colin's Fishing Blog, 11 June 2013 · 10 views

This match was scheduled to take place at the club's    Bellows Mill  lake but due to it being very clear and weedy the match was switched to    How End Fishery .  

We were to be on Yasi's Lake which I have fished once before in March last year.  
I started by feeding chop worm and caster at the bottom of the far shelf which was around 1...

24th-25th April - Berkshire Lake
 
As I've mentioned previously I'd become disillusioned with the carp scene towards the back end of last year and thus hadn't been since early December.  
I hadn't really missed it much at all, but I did notice the carp at work becoming far more active every day.  Add to that a few catch reports t...

12th April 2013: A blank expression

Posted by AddictedToScopex in AddictedToScopex's Blog, 12 April 2013 · 55 views

So today saw me hitting a brand new water on a brand new card. I joined a club that I have waited many years to join last week so I wanted to make the most right away and try one of their waters. It was a small sized and very natural looking lake. A very nice quiet place to be. Sadly it was to be that way with the fish too but nevertheless I enjoyed being...

Chilly day for carp....

Posted by kirisute in Kirisute's Blog, 02 March 2013 · 297 views

But that didn't stop us!!Started at Reepham fishery just after 8:30.The fishery consists of a large square lake that is connected to a "wilder" lake via a channel. The "wild" lake makes for very pleasurable fishing with its many cut backs and reed beds. Plenty of features to fish to.My father, brother and I headed to that lake, getting into a swim large e...

9th February - River Kennet

kennet, chub

As Rusty alluded to in his most recent blog, there would be three reports from the same outing on 9th  Febraury….and following on from Chris, this is the last. The reader may think that being the last to be published means it has taken the longest to write and is therefore likely to be a work of literary genius. However…..it probably isn...

River Test & LRA - 05-06/02/2011

Posted by Nicholas S in Nicholas S' Blog, 25 February 2011 · 1,291 views

After receiving the all clear from my girlfriend I set about organising a fishing weekend that I was really looking forward to. Saturday was to be spent on the Little River Avon (LRA) in search of Grayling and the icing on the cake was Sunday where I had been invited down to fish the hallowed waters of the Test. I would be trotting the main river (the las...

Bay Slinging

20 July - Ilfracombe, Devon.  Chucking gripper leads into the surf.I had a single morning of the second part of the family holiday visting friends in which I decided I would try and catch a bass or a thornback.  The nearby beach was good for both apparently, and I had caught bass and doggies here before on the rising tide.  This was a two centre holiday v...

Sea Kayaking

Well I hope to spend more time in the boat tomorrow. Going to Caswell Bay, Gower. Can't wait to catch some kippers; although stability is giving me some concern! I don't mind falling in the drink but find getting back in scrapes my shins to the bone. Never mind Captin Ahab is my role model and nothing put him off.Smell ya later dudes

Saturday May 16th 2009. Will I ever learn?

Alan arrived first at the river and had three or four fish before I joined him. While he got a brew on I had a cast, taking one of the rivers natural population. It was too small to be one of the stockies being only 7 inches long. After refreshment we headed downstream. Soon I was thankful that I had remembered my waterproof. Today the rain was a good thi...
