I returned to the same water that I've been fishing for Bream yesterday.
The forecast was'nt good but I was up early and Lincoln bound by 7—30 am and on arrival saw two long stay anglers of my aquintance, one of them I knew so I made a quick call to say how he was goung on.
Steady but not hectic it seemed but apparently the grass around his bivvy was coverred with lobworms during the night on account of it being milder.
He had made hay by gathering some two dozen or so and keeping them in a bait box for future use, a top bait for many fish that I assumed he would be using at some future date.
I left for a top end of lake swim and it wasnt long setting up as my gear was the same as my last visit..
Rods out brolly up and a coffee poured and — pip pip pip — my first liner of the day.
A little later and my bread flake baited hook appealed to a very dark bream, a nice start.
No hectic time, far from it but two hours later my indicator lifted again and another Bream fell to the same baited rod.
The line bites were less frequent than my last visit but the fish were there and a third Bream followed some thirty minutes later.
My next bite was the same, nothing differsnt to the Bream but lifting the rod the fish felt heavier, and it was— one of the very few carp in the lake, it had fallen for the breadflake and in the shallow margins it was happey to chug around in circles with the odd short run, I saw it once when it rolled a few seconds before the hook slipped free.
I was'nt to upset, it might have made low double but the fight was almost done so no great loss, a bit like losing a smallish pike and not having to take the hooks out.
Two more Bream and a suspected carp that was hooked for a milllisecond (must tell my carp fishing friends about bread) and my day was almost over save for clearing my kit away.
My aquintance came by about that time and called me to his car to hand over all the lobworms he'd collected the night before which was really nice of him as I was beginning to fancy a change after three trips in a row.
I bought a plastic container today from the poundshop and filled it with wetted torn newspaper
(an old Daily Mail) that must be about the best thing it could have been used for.
I checked on the worms an hour ago and they're all fine.
No piks of the Bream as they're only the same as last time.
