A massive thanks to Graham and his Wife Jane, Great hosts, Great food and drink.
Skippy and I got to Graham just after 8am, everyone else had just left, what happened to the 8 to 8.30 meet.
Thats was ok, Bacon rolls, Tea, and off to the water.
I had a good day, long walk to the end of the section to find a swim I liked, all the way back to my gear, only to walk the whole section again to the last but one swim. Fence's!! they don't have that many in the bloody Grand National.
Drove and fed Skippy, then let him have a fish in my swim, the result.
One Eel, that I had trouble to stop laughing at, to top it off it broke the hook link, some Bleak, and then he broke the hook link again on the rocks. Said thanks and left, my nightmare was over
I ended up with 10 Chub over 2lb, best couple getting close to 4lb. Two barbel, nothing big, around 5lb the best. Lots of Chublets, One Perch, Bleak and some Dace. Had a pike take a small Chub, and lost what i am sure was a Salmon.
Started the day on the stick float, and fed further out for the feeder later in the day.
I will go back, but I am not pulling Skippy's trolley, up Cardiac Hill again. Skippy took more bait home, than I took. It took me and Jimmy to pull his trolley up that hill, and i am not joking.
Great company and nice to see some new faces.
