A quick overnighter

[cupra]

So went for a quick overnight at the oaks sessay

 

The weather

When i arrived at the oaks it had just started to rain so got all my sleeping stuff sorted and then set my carp stuff up, waited till the rain stopped before setting my chair and pole up.

My evening fishing was cut early due to a thunderstorm that lasted a few hours that made me stay indoors till the morning.

The morning was raining too so stayed a little longer and fished int he afternoon with the pole but did keep rebaiting my carp rods with no bites so diceded to change baits a few times as couldnt get a bite off the carp.

 

What can i say well, Ill talk about course fishing first

The evening

Set my pole up to fish just off an island and a instant hit with some small Roach (about half a pound) Perch to 1lb and some small Barbel, in the few hours i fished my pole 22lb bag. (someone weighed this for me as my scales seem to get stuck on 15lb so ive ordered some new ones)

 

The morning

Setting my pole up in the morning and i dropped my number 5 section in the water (devostated) so had to fish my 12ft float rod, with some more decent results, had a bigger bag of mixed fish but nobody to weigh them for me. did have 2 ide at just over 1lb and a perch of 1lb 2oz. no sign of tench or bream but still a decent bag of fish.

 

Carp fishing

Set my carp rod up and within 2 mins of my first cast had this little beauty

Weiging in at a stonking 2lb 8oz

 

Quick rebait and a cast into the same place and i got into this fish

A Little better at 3lb 7oz

 

no other carp till the next evening and 6-7 different bait changes put some compressed bread in my arma mesh 20 mins later got myself this

Weighing just short of 10lb by a meesly ounce

 

Made another compressed bread pellet and 25 mins later got this one

Sadly my scales only go up to 15lb but it maxxed them out, i think it was only a little over 15 but still a very nice fish

 

So very happy for this time of year

One thing i also cought on the float rod was this

with limbs missing but still able to grab bait

 

Planning some more trips soon as this was my second overnighter im very happy

Good stuff mate and very nice fish. If i had stayed another night i would have boiled up that crayfish. People don't believe me until they try them and then they think they taste quite nice. A bit like sweet crab!

 

Mind you i think i have only got one to taste them. He does not fish anymore

 

Well not with me anymore anyway?

The fishery said to kill it, but i too like crayfish and would probably have stuck it on the bbq but it was just as I was about to pack up

 

Still Very much enjoyed it and will be going back there for another session, got a few other places to try out too but there all a pretty good drive away so would mean a 3-4 night trip to make it worth while

When they said kill it you should have eaten it in front of them....just kidding but i would have loved to have seen their faces.

 

It sounds like you have a nice place there. Ever thought of a bit of eel bashing?
