Maggot feeder 14.11.11

Posted by The Flying Tench , 14 November 2011 · 752 views

I had a good session on the flowing canal 5 years ago when it was bite-a-chuck small dace on maggot feeder, and through sheer luck I ended the session with a pb perch of 3lb 3oz.

The weather today was OK, AT up to 12degC and quite cloudy, but I didn't like the high pressure and east wind. Rightly or wrongly I thought the dace and perch wouldn't mind this as much as the roach, so I decided to try and emulate 5 years ago - partly in the hope that the dace would be bigger by now.

Alas I had not anticipated the impact of Reggie and Ronnie! As soon as the bait went in the crays were on to it. 7 modest dace in 90 mins. Lesson learned that maggot feeder has to be left till the WT is lower.

Not sure if you've misread it, Chris. The pb perch was 5 years ago, and I was vaguely hoping for a repeat which didn't transpire. No pics. I'm hopeless on that score. My mobile doesn't take photos. I've got an old Boots throw-away camera in my bag, but I've never used it. I guess the one fish that would certainly have warranted a photo was a 2lb rudd a couple of years ago, but I was so anxious to get it back in the water that I never thought of taking a photo!
