You surreptitiously attach it to the D-ring on the back of your victim's chest waders and then drop it into the current!

Here you go, Steve wins! For a little while I thought it was the mother of all perch or zander!   P.s. it nailed the lure and was neatly hooked in the bottom lip! All those years at Wingham and we w

Norma and I had a couple of days birding after the fish in, and have only just now reached home.   Like Steve Walker we had trouble with our depth finder - the gunwale was too thick for our Humminbi

The weather forecast has taken a bit of a nosedive for next week, waterproofs will be a must methinks. I don't mind the rain but any sign of thunder will see the flotilla heading back to port at full throttle I suspect.

It's never a 'six', let's put it back

I hope the weather will be ok! I have a day booked on Monday but it's saying heavy rain and 19mph winds so I expect I'll cancel that. Fingers crossed for wed...!

 

Good that andy will be there that day too.

 

I was there today and had a really good day, lovely weather, gentle breeze and feeding fish provided non stop action all day. I made a point of keeping count this time (I normally don't bother or forget or lose count) and I ended up with 60, which I'm pretty sure is the most I've had in a day before. Great fun!

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music

Well if I get one it does if anyone else flukes one then I am afraid rule 22b is in operation

I think we need to decide in advance whether accidental perch captures count towards the Autumn Perch campaign ;)

This is weather underground's current forecast for next Wed:

 

Cloudy with occasional light rain...mainly in the morning. High around 15C. Winds SSW at 15 to 25 km/h. Chance of rain 60%.

 

I'll keep an eye on it over the next few days. The wind will be the real issue. 15kph is about 9mph, 25kph is about 15mph which is on the breezy side but OK. Over 22mph and they won't let you out, but to be honest anything around 20mph you probably wouldn't want to go out anyway...!

 

PS Phone come on, surely we can make a round dozen? :D

PS in that strength of wind, you'll probably find that the heavier jig heads are essential. Anything around 15mph ish is likely to need 50g. Better to be overgunned than undergunned, too light a jig head and the lure just won't be able to stay near the bottom.
