A friend took me to a little fishery today and I must say I was quite pleased with it. Although the day started off slow it did pick up towards late morning at which point I was getting a fish a chuck on pole fished corn at 13metres to an island in about 18 inches of water.

I managed to get quite a range of species to, roach, bream, tench, chub, golden tench, golden orfe and ghost carp. The golden orfe was actually a PB for me, I didn't weigh it but estimate it at around 2lb which is much bigger than my previous best of about 12oz.

Not bad for a day out, the highlight though was not any of the fish I caught but watching my mate fall into the lake put a smile on my face lasted the whole day!
