Martin56 297 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 (edited) Hi people, my old mate Trevor phoned yesterday & invited me to a days fishing at Kippax Park. (Wed') I haven't fished since last September, so looking forward to wetting a line. (Stir Crazy or What!!) Got some Krill flavoured luncheon meat, Scopex flavoured corn, sausage, Prawns, Pasta twists & some Duck breast Cat Treats. Oh yes & the drilled Robin Red 8 mm Pellets. Traveling light as he's now a smaller car - we'll see what we can get in it this time!! Will post if any of these go well.

Phone 698 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 MARTIN, By all means don't forget the camera. Should fishing be slow a shot of that bait receipt should be most entertaining. I say slow because there's no way you can blank. It's good to feel the chipper in your post - best of luck Phone Link to post Share on other sites

chesters1 1476 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Best of luck and look out for the ducks Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle Mathew 4:19 Grangers law : anything i say will turn out the opposite or not happen at all!

BoldBear 183 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 (edited) Hope you have a really productive day, it’s great to see you fishing again Martin. Looking forward to your write up even if you don’t catch a lot, which isn’t very likely as I know you’ll have a good day . Tight lines.

Phone The way it’s going at the moment if he had set a camera on his float and live-streamed it a lot of us would be glued to the screen, I’ve even tried a mobile app that lets you cast and play a fish ffs.

Martin56 297 Posted July 16 Author Share Posted July 16 (edited) Well folks, we arrived at the venue - Kippax Park Lakes about 8:15 Wed' Morning for my first session since last September & Trevor's first a couple of years!! Not the best of starts, as when untangling the 3 made up rods I took, hadn't noticed I'd knocked the landing net (Handle & all) into the swim so had to borrow one from the office at least until a lovely old fella, Lawrence came round later & dragged mine out with a grappling hook - He's part of the furniture there & has never failed (he says) to get "Gone In" pole sections etc. Incidentally he always brings with him the only Labrador who can't swim!!! (Think it's a Golden Retriever & actually his Son's dog but spends more time with Lawrence) Pee'd it down nearly all day with only an hour or so's break near the end. Didn't get a bite till after 1 o'clock. & fished down the edge for the whole sesh starting with Method feeder without a touch. Changed to the Pin after a couple of hours or so with the Krill meat then at about 1:15 the float disappeared & was duly smashed on the strike on 8 Lb line & hook length. Ten minutes later smashed up again on the strike which this time took one of my Beloved black top Porkies & all. I could see the float laying flat on the surface so went down the swim to net it - By which time it has disappeared - presumably the fish still attached?? I batted in the bare line & broke out the other made up 13 foot rod & another Pin. About 4 o'clock the float went under again, this time on a prawn & it it was a Monster (For Me anyway) & thought it was never giving up Anyway after about ten minutes it did. So, only one fish to show for the day but well worth it - A PB for me, maybe around 15 Lb?? I guess. (My last PB was 12 LB & Weighed & this one looked a lot Bigger.)
