No real plan today - 1st July

Another relatively early, for me at least, start, I was driving up the A31 in the Guildford direction just as the sun was rising. And a spectacular one at that, so good that I needed to stop to get a picture. Only one problem….not many places to stop on this stretch of the A31, and the lorry in front of me was being driven very strangely. Indicating left when there was nothing to turn left into, and probably only going 40 mph. I think he was trying to tell me that it was ok to overtake, but I didn’t want to, I wanted to stop to take a picture. Up ahead, a layby, with a reasonable viewpoint, lorry pulls into it, followed by me, and lorry driver jumps out….with his camera….to do exactly the same as me!

Anyway, big grin and a thumbs up from the lorry driver as I continue on my way, arriving at Johnsons later than I should have done, but early enough for me! The sun was still on it’s way up, I really should concentrate more on fishing than trying to get a decent photograph!

Usual tactics were employed, float fishing with one rod, and a cage feeder on the other rod. The fishing was slow today, with honours shared between the two methods, two tench on the float, with the feeder rig snaring another tench and my smallest crucian so far from this lake weighing in at 1lb 14oz.

 

I have yet to find the big tench that inhabit this lake, largest of the day being the 4lb 4oz one below…..another visit is required I think!!
