2021 - My Year End Summary
Entry posted by Bayleaf the Gardener in Year summary

The end of another year, the second after my 20 year+ hiatus from the sport that has totally recaptured me like a bleak to a pinkie. It included my first ever grayling (they never had them in Surrey) and my first Crucian and Rainbow since 1977 approx.
I'm quite anal in my record keeping, writing a journal, updating a spreadsheet, and then there's been this jolly-old blog since March, so I am well-equipped to shake a creel full of statistics at you which are of interest to, at best, myself. Here goes:
Total number of trips: 167
Total number of hours spent fishing: 912.25 Thus average length of trip = 4.6 hours
Total number of fish caught: 1,277 (not including 49 minnows)
Total weight of fish: 1,850lbs. This average weight per trip = 11lbs, number of fish caught per trip = 7.74 @ 1 fish every 42 minutes.
Number of blank trips was 20, ie 1 in 8 trips.
number caught number over 1lb Seasons biggest number caught number over 1lb Seasons biggest
Bleak 102 NA NA Bream 75 27 6lb 2
Brownie 25 16 3lb 8 Common 117 116 18lb 9
Chub 8 2 1lb 12 Crucian 10 4 2lb 12
Dace 39 0 12oz Grayling 7 2 1lb 4
Gudgeon 12 NA monster! Mirror 90 90 16lb 10
Perch 270 13 2lb 6 Pike 2 2 3lb 2
Rainbow 1 1 5lb 3 Roach 450 0 12oz
Rudd 20 0 4oz Tench 49 45 5lb 8
There. Not great, is it. The profile suggests someone who has concentrated on Willows (carp, tench), and hasn't got to grips with rivers (the chub count is appalling). Plenty of room for improvement, especially chub, and I'd like to do some piking this winter. I also aim to get the blanks down to 1 in 5, and find some larger roach.
BTW the picture is from 1975, a shot of me and my late Dad fishing (he hated it, but came with me occasionally, bless him).
