Nice to know the mojo's back!

[Matthew Simmons]

 

 

After 'enjoying' Steve's (JV44) exploits in emptying MY local lake of double figure pike in just a couple of sessions, while I remained totally biteless after 3 sessions, on the back of a really cr*p autumn barbel campaign in my 'banker' autumn barbel swims - I was beginning to think I'd lost the old mojo!

 

The river Wey on the FAS ticket is small but perfectly formed, and after a couple of hours trickling maggots on this new venue for me I had some nice chub and grayling. Here's the best of the chub (probably about half the size of Anderoo's :-) ) but lots of fun on the pin in 12 inches of water.

Glad to see fishing is delivering the goods again, very easy to loose motivation in this game!

Lovely looking chub! I'm contemplating going out on Sunday for a few hours, a combination of no enthusiasm and a new baby has meant I havn't been for a couple of months now! All these pictures of chub are slowly getting under my skin and increasing my urge to go

Matthew I have struggled chubwise and may have to give up on the meat and give them what I suspect they wan`t bread...after dark sessions later this week seem best bet ,congrats on getting your mojo back mate... I blanked last 2 Piking trips so my mojo is fast disappearing if something don`t come along soon

One of my favourite rivers, I used to fish there when I lived in South London - great to see a pic of it again Congrats on a great session, good to know the grayling are still there! I had a spot down there that usually held double figure carp, amazing fun in that little river. Let me know if you want details, although I can't guarantee they're still there...

I am thinking along the same lines Steve - already liquidised a couple of loaves - also got in some blue cheese in for a fresh batch of paste. Possibly the Loddon or maybe the Thames if I'm feeling brave. And then there's those kennet roach we talked about .... M

Yes Anderoo, one of mine too - I hadn't fished the Wey since the 70's on the Woking ticket and it was great to go back albeit to a different stretch. The grayling were in the first swim and first cast too - I thought my luck was REALLY in. I'd be interested in the river carp, given how the chub pulled back in such a confined space! Why not come with me as a guest? Whats the best time of year? M

What about a stab for the kennet fish over the Chrimbo break?? or just let me know when you are free

Now there's a thought! Will do.

I need to get my mojo back roll on the spring.
